Oh this is great. Brendan Van Son does vlogs of this location quite often and it is wonderful to see a different perspective. It's so fascinating to see different artists takes on the same scene! I love how you've brought out the pastel colors in such a bleak environment and the contrast between the smooth almost creamy surface of the sand with the wind battered texture of the wood is so nice.

I think Adam is a much better photographer than Brendan, although I'm sure Adam would agree that he doesn't quite have Brendan's extrovert personality.

The beauty in decay and the constant powerful force of the elements, what a combo! Makes a mysterious story. I love the colors, textures, and your compositions, the doorways and the light. And, your processing is spot on. I just purchased a broom from Thailand that would have come in handy for the footprints. I'm going to use it to clean up the surface of moss in my garden...

It would be interesting to spend a week in a ghost town like that to see if there is some variability to the lighting conditions, the clouds, sunrise and sunset conditions. It also gives you a real sense of how transient our human structures really are when they're not constantly maintained.

Adam, its very interesting to see how you think through creating images in a place like this. I like how you open the video with a sample of shots, showing a glimpse of what’s to come. Showing both the raw and the processed image is very helpful to me as I try to improve my post-processing skills while trying not to take that piece of it too far. Finally, it’s cool to see you include your partner in the videos as it adds a bit of personal dimension to who you are as a photographer.

I love how you've gone away from the "pretty" versions I've seen before from this site. Your approach makes these ruins look monumental, which is ironic since I expect that time and the desert will completely reclaim the place within a century or less. Yes, the weather clouded up a little. I think though that this lighting works best for your style. Thanks for this great video and set of images.

Your window image at the one minute mark is my absolute favorite. All the rest of the images are interesting, but the repeating triangle of blue sky in each "frame" was terrific, and then the angle of the roofline repeating twice and then mimicked by the mountain in the last "frame" showed what I though was the real brilliance of your composition, and photographic skill.
