I have finally completed the third short I have been working on. You can view a sample on my main page. I have also given the ability to bundle all 3 at a discounted rate. It was fun putting it together. When I was younger, I had opportunity to live in Chandler, AZ. On the weekends, I would venture out to some of the surrounding areas and visit some of the mountains, occasional ghost towns, or just drive and take in the harsh beauty of the landscape. I learned to love the desert. It has a unique intrigue that, subtly, in its own time, blossoms into a genuine appreciation for the singular beauty that only it can possess.
Until you have taken the time to stare up at the desert sky and witness the expansive beauty of the star studded canvas that winks back at you, you cannot begin to understand what it has to offer. To see the dew stained glimmer of the desert fauna as it is kissed by the early rays of dawn, The Saguaro cacti standing proud in their watchful guard of the golden sands beneath, the stars above so dense that they seem to carpet the unbelievably clear black ocean that hosts their shimmering wonder, is a unique experience that I hope you will have the opportunity to experience at least once in your life.
Is it hot? You bet! Temperatures can soar to 120 degrees during the day and fall to 80 degrees in the space of an hour once the sun sets. Crazy to think that you can be cold in 80 degree temperatures, but it is teeth-chattering cold once you have lived in 120. Imagine being in 80 degrees during the day then, in the space of an hour, the temperature drops to 40 degrees. Very quickly you are reaching for a blanket to shield you from the cold.
Is it harsh? Heck yeah! The hot, harsh landscape can kill you quickly if you don't treat it with the respect that it deserves. But it is also beautiful. Choose to bravely venture to the desert and experience a night under the stars and you will be forever changed!
