in 2009 i traveled to SALVATION MOUNTAIN in the south desert region of california near slab city, niland + not too far from the salton sea. it’s the kind of place you go when you don’t want to be found. a group of us drove down there for a shoot + were honored to have the opportunity to meet LEONARD KNIGHT, creator of the famed mountain + folk art monument .
he formed the massive sculpture by covering bales of hay + dirt with concrete + paint. decades on it rose high in the sky, covered with bible verses conveying the message of universal love.
sadly, LEONARD died this week, but his beautiful gift to us all lives on.

thank you to CHRIS STAMP for capturing this moment of me capturing another.

we stopped in slab city for lunch + met some kind souls.

you will be missed, LEONARD.
