Back to Loneliness, The Ivanpahs
Photographs by Bob Killen
Exhibition: 2/16/2008 - 5/19/2008

The Back to Loneliness collection of photographic prints by Bob Killen is an exploration of Mojave National Preserve’s Ivanpah Mountains. Killen’s cinematic style, reflective of his commercial editorial work, applies a fine art edge to the saturated hues of Teutonia granite formations, pointy cactus flora, crumbling mine sites and the world’s largest Joshua tree forest.

Mindful Presence
By JumpingLion Photography
Exhibition: 8/23/2008 – 11/16/2008

Often perceived as barren or unproductive, deserts reveal their beauty and bounty to those who immerse themselves in the landscape. In Mindful Presence, Hamilton Moore of JumpingLion Photography captures qualities of the Mojave which are within the purview of our senses, but which we too infrequently notice: the glint of water seen from a distant hilltop, delicate animal tracks deposited among shiting sands, or ancient evidence of previous desert dwellers.
