Mojave Moonlight

Tom Lowe lives in Los Angeles and is a successful TV commercial producer. His work has taken him to six continents and when on assignment he avoids the tourist havens. 'I take the road less traveled- eat and reside with those who call a particular locale home, and when the opportunity to become an artist in residence for the Mojave National Preserve I found another opportunity for a road less traveled.' Lowe found that his years of location scouting was invaluable for this project. He discovered his image locations by driving deep into the Mojave on one of the many access roads and then parking his car at sunset, often hiked in three miles to reach specific cactus, rocks and dune formations that presented compositions that spoke to the stillness of the night. 'I rediscovered the light show in the Milky Way blanket- shooting stars mixed with the countless satellites that then introduced the moon as it moved on to its western horizon. Night in Mojave Preserve is an astronomical wonder.'
