KRIS DAVIDSON, THE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR OUR CALIFORNIA IN PICTURES FEATURE ON P.124, EXPLAINS HOW SHE CAPTURED THIS SELF-PORTRAIT IN THE ANZA-BORREGO DESERT

Desert Fireside Portrait

The Anza-Borrego desert in southern California is magical, especially as night falls. A sense of stillness and solitude prevails, even as planes soar past towards Los Angeles, the mega city glowing in the distance.

Generally, the best way to illustrate how a human experiences the world is to include a person in the composition. Since there was no one else about in the desert that night, I opted for a self-portrait.
