Image of the Month, May 2021: "Mobius Arch"
Mobius Arch is the first image I add to the Image of the Month collection in a while. Actually, it is 1 of 8 new images to complete the collection for this year 2021.
I made this image on a cold morning at the Alabama Hills, a spot I had visited many times in the past. It is definitely one of the, if not the most beautiful single view I had seen in the US so far. Sunrises can be truly stunning there.
But this morning, there was no sunrise: the clouds obscured the view of the peaks of the Eastern Sierra. They also created a very nice atmosphere that I tried to capture here, using the Arch to frame some of the mountains in the background.
I knew this was going to be one of my favorite images from that place right away, and I believe now it is my best from there.
two sizes
Remember: there are two sizes to choose from, 6x6 and 8x8 (inches). In both cases, the matt and frame are 12x12 (this means a bigger margin for the 6x6 print).

Shipping is free to the US now. International shipping is a flat rate of $19.95.
artist contract
A new image will be released every month and offered at a reduced price during that time. After 30 days, it will be sold at full price. They will never be on sale at any time in the future, the rate during the first month will be the lowest, ever.

Can photography be taught?
I was wondering this on my way to the beautiful Alabama Hills, in California. Can we learn photograph from someone else?
The technical side of photography, sure: settings, composition rules… but what about the story?
That, we might need to figure out ourselves.
In this video, I share my thoughts on this and some of the images and footage I made in the Eastern Sierras. Please feel free to share your opinion in the comments, here or on YouTube.
