When I need a moment to relieve stress, this place in upstate Arizona is what I'll think of. However, I only stayed there for a few minutes, a stop like any other in an eventful roadtrip.

The aim of this adventure was purely professional, at the start. Traveling kilometers and kilometers (5414.2 km in 5 days, to be exact) in order to bring back photo equipment to a client. The goal quickly becomes more personal when the need to explore and document takes over. This is how this judgment, like several others, found its way, despite itself, into my archives and into my memories.

How else can you do it with a blazing sun, bright colors and the sound of the wind? A vague impression of finding yourself in a western film or in an episode of 'roadrunner' (hello to the 90s kids in the room). I will forever feel in the sun when my eyes meet this image.
