While in the desert outside Tucson, AZ, I worked on the Billy the Kid script and took infrared pictures of the vicinity…
The camera is a Pentax K-01, converted to read infra-red light as well as the light we perceive, by means of a filter. The lens, for the most part, is the 40mm pancake which came with the camera.
In addition to turning green things white, the IR filter gets the best out of the sky. Even a mediocre cloudy day acquires mystery…
The above is the frontispiece for the Billy the Kid screenplay. It has a certain antique weirdness, I think.
Saguaros are irresistible subjects.
As is Pearl, seen here returning from la chasse.
