Photographing the cholla forest in Joshua Tree was an unforgettable experience. The sun rose behind the cacti, casting long shadows and illuminating their spines with a warm golden hue. However, as I navigated through the dense thicket, I found myself coated in cholla. The prickly needles clung to everything, proving that they could even penetrate the thickest boot leather. Each step became a reminder of nature's resilience and beauty, capturing the essence of this surreal landscape while challenging my persistence as a photographer. The images I captured reflect both the breathtaking scenery and the tenacity I needed to endure.
