JOHN DESPAIN

John DeSpain

The desert is a place of extreme opposites – hot and cold; parched and flooded; windy and still; harsh and delicate. I’m drawn to explore this duality, this yin and yang of light and shadow, of expansive vistas and hidden details, of ruggedness and fragility in this place that I love.
