Not many people know it, but west Texas is home to some wonderful sand dunes, a group of which are accessible to the public at Monahans Sandhills State Park. This is part of a trilogy of photographs showing those dunes.
I've been involved with photography since the late 1960s, when I got my first real camera toward the end of my two years in Honduras as a Peace Corps math teacher. From the 1970s through the mid-1980s I went through a phase of black and white infrared photography, often even in 3-D. My current period began in 1999. Call me a nature photographer and you won't be wrong, but because there's not a lot of majestic scenery where I live (which is Austin, Texas), I've gotten interested in portraying the native plants of the region, especially our many wildflowers. Along with them come occasional butterflies, birds, and other small creatures. I often think of all these subjects, even the plants, as if they were posing for portraits, so you could...

Congratulations! Your image has been selected as the Administrator's Pick in the Group The Great American West. Lovely work!

Thanks for featuring this image, George. I'm glad I drove out to west Texas two months ago.
George Buxbaum
Awesome work.Exudes a feeling of massive emptiness. I love how you place more emphasis on the sand dunes.
Steven Schwartzman replied:
I got there late in the day, so other people's footprints were in various places across the dunes. I hunted around until I found untouched places where I could photograph the dunes in their pristine condition, which contributed to the feeling of emptiness you describe. Thanks for your appreciation.
Lisa Knechtel
Beautiful vast feel to this. L
Steven Schwartzman replied:
That's appropriate, Lisa, because west Texas is indeed vast.

Wonderful tone and great capture !!!
Steven Schwartzman replied:
At first I was sorry to have an overcast day, but then I realized that the dark clouds would be a good complement to the lighter dunes.
