Renan Ozturk
Ozturk went to Bears Ears
National Monument in 2018,
shortly after the Trump admin-
istration drastically reduced the
monument’s size and opened
much of the area to oil and gas
interests. Ozturk attached a
Sony A7 to the wingtip of pilot
Chris Dahl-Bredine’s propeller-
powered hang glider, and they
took off just as the sun rose.
“It was our dream to get a shot
from above,” says Ozturk, visible
in orange behind Dahl-Bredine.
“We wanted to help put a face
to the name and add to the nar-
rative on why we should respect
and protect this place.” —E.R.
