		<description><![CDATA[A remote area of Queen Valley in Joshua Tree National Park was the location for the next print of the month.  This towering spire defies the imagination.  Besides its imposing beauty, one wonders how it could possibly have formed.

After trekking for 45 minutes across the trackless desert, deeper and deeper into Queen Valley, one finally [...]]]></description>

There’s no argument that Edward Weston was one of the finest photographers that ever tripped a shutter.  And one of the aspects of his photography that he is most revered for is his compositions.  He was the absolute master in his studio [...]]]></description>
