LONG DAYS IN THE DESERT, RICHARD COLLENS

Hours: see framedonfifth.com 

In the desert, your entire value system changes, where gold and silver lose value and shade and water are priceless. Richard Collens is drawn to isolated environments, not only to experience these changes in values, but to try and come to terms with the dichotomy of his dismay with the refuse we leave behind in an attempt to settle, or the refuse left behind by progress, and the nostalgic beauty and inherent value in the shade, water and shelter this refuse provides in an otherwise hostile climate.
