Unnatural Landscapes 3: Oilfield.

Part 3 of my new Unnatural Landscapes series, with a soundtrack in collaboration with my friend Garry Manley (Tactics, Popular Mechanics, Saturday Maybe). California, 2025.

With this one I wanted to try to get the surreal strangeness of the view from the Kern River bluffs overlooking Oildale and Bakersfield, all shimmering ceaseless micro-movements… going nowhere. I've been doing still photography of the area for decades, but this is the first time I think I got it even halfway successfully in video. Garry's soundtrack really makes this video.
