This image was made at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park. I was lurking at the lookout, trying to get candid images of people enjoying the view, when I spotted this young woman, Monica, instructing her boyfriend to get a photo of her with a cell phone. After multiple failed attempts, subject and photographer were getting frustrated, so I offered to give it a try with my camera. The distance between us and the terrain meant I could not really pose or style her, so I let her sit how she had imagined in her mind.

To be honest, I hadn't planned to do a story on Punk Rock Bowling. I was there because my band played. But when I saw the band FLAG play their set I knew I had to write something. I didn't have any special access for photography and I didn't spend much time shooting. Punk Rock Bowling is more fun than you think.
