Red Rock at Dusk — Sedona, Arizona

Arriving late to my campsite per usush for me at the time. Pictures from this Sedona trip were taken around 2100. First establishing my campsite so Professor rattleSnake doesn't bite my ass as he gets his dinner. After setting up my sanctuary, I proceeded to hike/run a half mile up the road gear in tow but missing one vital piece of equipment unbeknownst to me. Wanting to get the sunset before it goes down I ran to a day parking lot that was empty and right up the road.

I quickly set up shop as I try to steady my breathing. I set up the tripod, grab the camera, slap on that new new Tokina wide F2.5 11-20mm, adjust the white balance, level it out. In the not too far off distance, I hear a pack of coyotes and check my sheath. I forgot my modern sword back at camp; realizing I could be attacked I reasoned to stay and take the photos becacuse I walked a half mile and my a$$ is not out running a pack. Inshallah brothers & sisters, Inshallah. Anyway, I focus back on the mission and start to dial in the manual focus because it's difficult to do in the dark. After a few shots I notice a black line on my picutres, thinking it was dust I took off the lense trying to use my pashmina (scarf) as an airhood to prevent anything else from getting on it. I take out my cleaning cloth and sticks to realize I only have the cloth and left the solution back at camp. But, I had just gotten there, I just set up, I take the cloth and GENTLY proceed to absolutely DESTROY my sensor. On the bright side after packing up and escaping with all my skin (that's an inside joke for those who know me as a person but you can probably guess) making it back to my sister's farm, doing a little research. I've came to the conclusion the Tokina unfortenetly was getting stuck open and burning my sensor. It was cooked long before I scrathed it.

That's why I write to you dear supporter, if you love indpendent media, screaming out Green Day lyrics, and despise bullies. Please help your boy acheive his dreams of starting his own charaties and becoming the difference you want to see in the world.

By now I've realized no one is coming, so, it's time to join the fight...again. This time with the pen which is mightier!! Nerds, artistis, momma's boys, good husband's who want to get your special lady a little something something that looks premium but secretly costs a fraction of the portion because Prints Joshua Trees21 knows, freedom isn't free & inspiring art shouldn't be out of the hands of everyday citizens.

People of the World! Unite!

[Due to my prior experience as an MSG & paranoia(I'm still alive MFers!) I uhh turned off the location so I think I was off Forest Road 152 at a primitive campsite but TBH that's an approximation]
