I'm not going to lie; several unsolved missing peoples cases have been haunting me and my intuition like that of 25 year old, Khayman Welch, who went missing in the Superstition Mountains Aug of 2020 during the pandemic. I haven't forgotten his story or the plight of his family three years later.
.
All these missing individuals have or had mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters. The Superstition Wilderness has claimed many missing souls as well as other places in the Sonoran Desert Region. It's not only in low basin deserts where these strange happenings are unfolding; it's happening in places like the Grand Canyon and many other significant places where I guide tours of visitors to this land.
.
There's a lot of dot connecting that I want to do or feel compelled to do as these cases and stories take up space in my reality and grow cold when it comes to the actual history of these mysteries. I'm allowing these darker energies to visit my sixth sense as I try to interpret them as an artist and researcher.
.
Humans are attached to related phenomena that we can't always sense in the immediate reality and some of this is strongly present outside our perceived reality. One thing I know is certain, there is more to this reality than what our physical senses are capable of detecting. I know this because of my own third eye.

Abandoned places always give meaning and comfort to my soul. Here I am just contemplating the people who came before me and when they left this world they left their dreams behind...

Another #Agave #testshot using the #smcpentax50mmf12 (AT F1.2 wide-open) and it shows just how narrow the Depth of Field is on this beautiful lens that is difficult to find a good copy of that isn't suffering from lens separation or mold. I captured more test images last Sunday at the @dbgphx - with this vintage glass.
