Navajo Sandstorm

by Craig Wolf

The wind is really blowing here and sand is stuck to my teeth. My Navajo Guide went out to make sure we could make it back to jeep. It’s an unforgettable moment for me.

Superb shot! I love the black and white; it makes the scene more powerful, with the sky looking so ominous and the land so vast and offering no refuge…

I find this to be a very powerful image in b&w. The man walking really adds to it.
