Calibration Mark AJ56 with Satellites
2017
Archival pigment print

There is great variation in the skies of Julie Anand and Damon Sauer's images. During most of the year, clouds burn off by midday, giving way to a bright blue sky. It creates a contrasting background for the satellite orbit lines they add to the images later. Look closely, and you can see the names of the satellites that were orbiting in the sky at the moment Anand and Sauer took the photo. They took this photo in the summer, when it is so hot that they have to complete their field work before 8 a.m. when it hits around 100° Fahrenheit
