Having studied sculpture at a German academy of arts, I was always disappointed that a great deal of sculptural form and surface gets lost photographing rock formations at night - even when applying low level lighting. Therefor I made a series of pictures using daylight shots of the landscape combined with the milky way sky. This series was taken at a location about one mile east of "Valley of Dreams" in New Mexico, all shots facing south.
