Both mentally and photographically the most enlightening times I find are in moments of transition. It’s at these moments that my creativity and my admiration of my subject peaks. As it relates to landscape photography “transition” is likely to be interpreted as the transition between light and dark. This is certainly an accurate interpretation, but it is also true of any subject I photograph or genre of photography I pursue. Photography captures but a split second of the world around us, but still photographs that resonate most are those that capture a moment fleeting and/or seldom unseen. Transition between order/chaos, emotions, light/dark, etc. are those that so clearly stick in our mind. So many of us take these moments for granted, yet they’re so rarely seen.

The Death Valley National Park’s 3.3 million acres of the desert landscape are celebrated in this volume of color images by the photo essayists Fred and Randi Hirschmann, who explore all the corners of the park and its varied, rugged wildlands. Their work brings insight into the natural processes of the arid desert and rare but relentless force of water that shapes the stupendous desert scenery. From the deep shadowed canyons to shifting sand dunes, from salt pans on the valley floor to ancient pines in the mountain fastness, these 106 color images offer glimpses of Death Valley’s many treasures.
