Wind Drawing - Sand Dunes of Death Valley, California

A good photographer keeps his viewfinder uncluttered and his pictures spare. A great photographer is able to introduce more and more elements into a picture without causing the image to collapse. Like a symphony conductor waving in first the strings then the horns then the drums.

Intae Kim weaves increasingly complex lines into these photographs, never losing sight of his basic melody of wind and sand and light. Although Intae Kim photographs all types of landscapes, he chose to create this book because to him the sand, "is the purest of all, nature presents the deepest, boldest and yet most delicate object for me to photograph." - Intae Kim

Mr. David Skolkin, responsible for designing many fine art books, designed Wind Drawing. The images were taken from Death Valley National Park, but this is not a book on Death Valley. It is about the sand dunes and the natural shape and contours of the desert, created by wind and light.
