Who is the photographer or studio that took the Mac OS X desktop wallpaper titled "Mojave?"

Here is the image that I am talking about. Anyone know who shot it?

Thanks

I'll never underestimate the hive mind, but it might be very difficult to track that down. Here's what one guy went through trying to track down a Windows wallpaper image. To make a long story short, it was really, really hard. Of course, he didn't query the hive mind.

Actually, I had never seen the photograph or heard of the photographer. I figured, though, that if it was one of the Mac default wallpapers, Apple probably bought it from one of the big stock photography companies. So, I searched Getty for 'Mojave', and there it was, a few pages in. Easy peasy.
