blog post and photography by john michael cooper

The one location on earth that i can never get tired of is the dry lake bed. I really love it when i take a couple there and it’s their first time to be in the desert. I almost feel like a guide to another planet. This was especially true with Melisa and Lucas, this very cool, down to earth couple from one of my favorite towns, Springfield IL. I have a lot of family in Springfield, so we had a lot to chat about and i am so glad that i could share some of the magic of the west with a great couple from the heartland.
