Limited Edition Print Drop
‘Chuck & Rex, Desert Blast, Nevada, 1999’
Hahnemühle Pearl Giclée paper, 16×12 inches
Edition of 75
I’m releasing this print from one of my earliest and craziest series ‘Desert Blast’, which was an annual invitation-only pyrotechnic festival held at one of the many dry lakebeds outside Las Vegas, Nevada.
Desert Blast was started in 1986 by Bob Lazar, a former government physicist who claims he worked on alien spacecraft at Area 51. The exact date and location of “DB” was kept secret each year to avoid a deluge of spectators and apparently law enforcement! After many months of negotiating, I managed to get access, the first ‘outsider’ to do so, producing an exclusive set of photographs documenting this surreal pyro-party.
This is the first time I’ve released this image and it will be available to buy until July 24th (unless it sells out before) – so be quick to avoid disappointment!
The print comes either framed or unframed and with a digitally signed & numbered certificate of authenticity. It will be shipped 2-3 weeks after the sale closes.
I will be giving away a signed contact sheet featuring the photograph to one lucky purchaser of the print (see above).
