ACHEL, Nevada — I’m trying something new! Take a look at my new video essay, which tells the story of a 2009 trip I took with four friends to the Nevada desert to try to catch sight of UFOs flying over mysterious military base Area 51. Originally, I wrote a two-part essay about the trip, but this video version of the story, using my photos from the trip, adds a little something, I think. Write a comment below if you enjoy it, and let me know whether you’d like to see more!
