Fireman’s view, Stovepipe Wells, Death Valley National Park, California, 2007

This is a view from the inside of the cab of the fire engine seen earlier in this gallery. The sun was entering the cab at just the right angle to illuminate both the wheel and the red dash. Its odometer has stopped forever at 96,899 miles -- this engine has sped to its last fire. It is an image that prods the imagination, producing thoughts of speed, daring, and gritty resolve. The door is wired shut, the tires are flat, and the motor has no doubt been cannibalized. Yet the firehouse red truck somehow still seems ready to roll.
