Dana Garrett Artist Reception • November 16th

My work is about capturing scenes in Nature that are unique and unseen.  For this collection, I chose to go off-road and find out of the way locations.  These included 7-Mile Canyon, Virginia City, the Virginia Range above the Geiger Grade, Thomas Creek Trail in the Mt. Rose Wilderness, and Peavine Mountain.

I drive Jeeps that are very capable off-road vehicles, and I drive them responsibly (read this as slowly.). I am not interested in overly disturbing wildlife or damaging my vehicles.

I like to go where people aren’t.  By off the beaten track, I mean locations where if I see more than a half dozen people over several hours, it’s too crowded.

I shoot both film and digital. I really like black and white as my inspiration for my photography derives from the work of Ansel Adams, and later Ed Weston.
