Southwestern Sungraph

Your Shot member Andrei Stoica used the sun and an Arizona landscape to create this self-portrait for a recent community assignment. “It wasn’t that different from using dyes to create pictographs,” writes Stoica, who calls his image a “sungraph.”

Stoica’s image recently appeared in the Your Shot assignment The Faceless Portrait.
