Meet Leonard Knight. He’s the proud creator of Salvation Mountain; just outside Niland, California. A hard man to tie down as he lives in the foothills of his hand made mountain with no phone. Leonard was no-where to be seen when we arrived in the 116 degrees heat, so we poked around for a bit taking several hundred photos and tons of b-roll footage. Just as we were about to head back into Niland to find the guy, a car covered in paint and putty pulled up. Out leapt a very excited and joyous 87 year old Leonard. We spoke with him for some time about his faith and how he built his 50 foot high message from god. A truly inspiring man, and a pleasure to meet him. We picked up a few buckets of paint and putty for him em route in Yuma, which he seemed to love.
