Oh my gosh, THIS. PLACE. I have been dying over Salvation Mountain ever since I stumbled across it online a few years ago and found out it was a real place and not part of some epic movie set. This place is stunning and the stuff dreams are made of. I've just been desperate to shoot here for years, and when I realized we'd be in the area during our epic road trip, I was so excited to schedule a shoot with Anika! Even though she ran into a bit of a hassle with border patrol that only left us with 15 minutes of daylight, we still got some epic shots and I was so thrilled to finally be able to shoot there.I was saddened to read today that Leonard Knight, the creator and artist responsible for Salvation Mountain, died in his sleep, at the age of 82. So here's to you, Leonard. Thank you, sir, for such a lovely and inspiring creation, and for giving us all a chance to share it with you.
