Death Valley, Brought to Life | February 2026
Most people think of Death Valley as barren, dry, and inhospitable. I passed through on February 16–18, 2026, during a storm and saw something else entirely: water across Badwater Basin, 50 mph winds ripping through the desert, light breaking through the clouds, dunes being reshaped in real time, painted hills glowing between weather systems, and wildflowers pushing through the desert floor.

A Photographer’s Guide to the Galaxy: Death Valley edition drops tomorrow.

Every sat saved is a small act of rebellion. A vote against a system that debases your money, steals your time, and funds the perpetual war machine.

I launched a new project: A Photographer’s Guide to the Galaxy.

One location per post, fully scouted. Honest ratings, real access notes, best light, what gear actually matters, and where to stay and eat.

No fluff, no sponsored content. Just signal.

First guide is free: Crowley Lake Columns.
Second guide just went live: Yosemite Valley.

It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on.

Things are breaking. @strike

Historically a good time to buy though.

No guac today.

We spent October and early November chasing fall across the Eastern Sierras.
Yosemite, Mono County, June Lake, Mammoth Lakes.
Long drives, golden light, vibrant colors, and the last warm days before winter moved in.
