1,103 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Urbandale, Iowa
Out in the Nebraska Sandhills, I found myself surrounded by nothing but rolling hills, grass stretching in every direction, and a sky filled with endless clouds drifting in soft patterns. This is one of those places where silence is key. The land itself feels alive, breathing beneath the big Nebraska sky. I wanted to create a photograph that held that feeling of openness, of freedom, of being small in a place that is vast and timeless.
What I love most about this image is the pure simplicity of it. There are no distractions, no noise: just grass, hills, sky, and light. And yet, it’s anything but plain. The Sandhills have a way of surprising you with their quiet beauty. The hills rise and fall like waves frozen in time, while the clouds above echo that rhythm, creating a harmony between land and sky. This is Nebraska at its truest with subtle, powerful, and deeply grounding.
I grew up connected to this land, and the Sandhills in particular feel sacred to me. They remind me that beauty doesn’t have to be loud or dramatic. It can be soft, steady, and enduring. This photograph is my way of sharing that connection, so others can feel the peace and perspective these rolling hills bring.
This is an extremely high-resolution photograph, captured carefully so that every blade of grass, every curve of the hills, and every texture in the sky can be seen with incredible clarity. I waited for the light to fall just right, so the greens glowed against the soft blue, and the clouds carried depth and movement across the horizon. When printed large, this image invites you into the Sandhills themselves so you can almost feel the wind moving through the grasses.
