Journal: Brooke on "Sand Sea": Thumbnail
Brooke Holm shoots her aerial landscape photography from a helicopter to capture vistas that toy with scale and context. She shares the story of how her recent series, Sand Sea, was taken in the oldest desert on earth and how the images emphasize humanity's complicated relationship with nature, as well as the natural world's magnetic pull on the human subconscious.

I traveled to Namibia to seek out the oldest desert in the world, the Namib Sand Sea. Here, vast and inhospitable stretches of sand dunes transform under the African sun in stunning gradients of red, brown and pink. The transient nature of the dunes ensures that what you see one day will look different the next.
