Philadelphia Progression - Image five of a six image series. 1/1 NFT

~ About the photo ~

During the summer of 2020 I had the opportunity to bicycle across the USA with a few good friends. The previous images of this series focus heavily on digital art and compositing, but this trip was my opportunity to get back to the basics of photography without the crutch of Photoshop. How can I capture this journey and the places we pass through every day. That leads me to this photo. Halfway through the trip, I decided to buy a 600mm lens. I wasn't quite sure why, but I had a feeling it could lead to something special. On this long road in Nevada, I had a vision, and luckily I had the gear to execute.

There was something about this photo that immediately resonated. It was an honor to have it featured on the cover of Adventure Cycling mag, the company that created the trans am bike route that we followed. I thought I needed photoshop to create meaningful work, but this photo proved me wrong.
