Waves crashing upwards of 30 meters on a sandstone cove on a small cape on the Oregon coast at sunset. This image was shot in 2009, before I vowed to never step into this spot ever again. Several people had died due to slipping on the slick rock and falling into the ocean with no means for escape… one occurrence while I was in the area trying to make stupid pictures one evening. As a husband, father, and a dude who genuinely has a phobia of the ocean, I just can’t bring myself to risk it.
Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, I just released a new processing tutorial on www.ryandyar.com if you’re into that type of thing.

On this windy evening many kilometers deep into the empty coastal dunes of western Namibia, sand flew across and over the landscape. The blowing sand being backlit by the rapidly falling sunlight created an ethereal atmosphere. This sand wasn’t just fascinating to watch, it also really pissed me off because it ended up in my eyes, ears and (somehow) the dark and sweaty bits below the belt. Chafing already sucks, chafing with sand on your “southern skin” makes for a truly horrible time.

Down several miles of dirt road that I don’t remember, somewhere in Utah, lies this needle-like point amidst this massive erosion-carved desert. The rain feeds the formation of this malleable landscape.
