Kurt Markus has been attracted to the abstract quality of dunes, much as Edward and Brett Weston before him. Interestingly, Markus so admires these two legendary figures he named his youngest son Weston, who is a photographer, too.
"The landscape is like no other I've ever experienced. Light completely transforms the sensuous forms and shapes of the dunes, moment-to-moment. There are no tricks to the pictures, just pure, straight, picture-making. And let me tell you, the negatives are a joy to print.”
