Between the Shadows
By the light of the silvery moon, figures dance “between the shadows”, and cast two-dimensional silhouettes against Mono Lake’s Tufa’s. The shadow plays offer a form of storytelling throughout the night by creating the illusion of moving images and personifying everything we may refuse to acknowledge about ourselves. Perhaps this is why in the 1860s, Mark Twain found the lake to be a “lifeless, treeless, hideous desert…the loneliest place on earth.” On this full moon night, the quiet solitude inspired us to capture the night sky’s attempts to brush the earth, and connect us to our own shadows.

Just awesome…..liked it!
Hi,Brad. I have to congratulate you for your amazing work. It’s truly amazing!
I’d like to do some inspiring work as you do. This is the best way to show our beautiful planet and all its amazing free shows. Nature provide us the real shows. We just have to see it, not just look, we must see. This is the way (through photography and time-lapse videos), in my opinion to show everyone in every place on earth how blessed we are to have this planet and all this universe. Keep doing it. It’s little details like this that do a greater good. I thank you for all your work. And I have a question for you also, if you can answer. It’s about the editing video program: which do you use to do time-lapses? I use the Lightroom to compile all the frames (photos) but I need more.
That just plain gorgeous!
Felicidades, un trabajo precioso
Muchas gracias, Cristina! Espero que lo están haciendo bien y como la nueva página web!
Hey Brad, you’re work is truly inspiring. I am headed to Arches later this month and if I can come up with a fraction of what you have done there I’ll be content. Incredible!
Thank you for your kind words, Murtaza. A few suggestions… Prepare for it to be pretty warm and try not to lose your cool amongst the overwhelming crowds. Remember, Arches is open 24/7, but camping is not permitted within 2 miles of any named arch, road, or trail. However, you can stay up all night shooting anywhere you would like to, but be aware that you probably won’t be the only one at the popular arches. Shoot me an email when you get back so I can have a look at your results. Have a great time!
truly gorgeous. congrats, friend!
Thank you, João!
