Passages of Stone
Anza-Borrego is full of surprises if you're willing to look beyond the main trails. I had heard about a few slot canyons tucked away in the badlands, and finding this one took a bit of searching. I was struck by the elegant, flowing lines carved into the rock. The walls were smooth in some places and rough with texture in others, shaped by countless flash floods. It felt incredibly quiet and still inside the canyon, a hidden world sculpted by water and time. I wanted to make a photograph that conveyed that sense of intimacy and discovery, focusing on the simple, powerful shapes of the passage.
