Well, the day before this we started at 4 a.m. and I was whining the whole day. This day we started at 3 a.m. because we had quite a drive ahead of us. I whined the whole day, but louder. When we got to the Wahweap Wash Hoodos we found that it was infested with [...]

OK, I’m the first to admit I’m a slug-a-bed. I hate getting up in the morning. In fact if I get out of bed, I figure the world owes me something. But as a photographer, I am supposed to be up early and on the road to catch sunrise. I hate the early reveille, but [...]

Whew, It was close. I got home from the Grand Canyon workshop with old friends and started to process the photos. The chill went straight to my heart. My hard drive was failing and I hadn’t had a chance to back it up. I tried everything and couldn’t get any images on or off the [...]

They’re just about my favorite tree. I’ve photographed about a million of them and still haven’t got enough. In fact, I ‘m thinking of producing a book/portfolio of aspen photos. We spent several hours wandering through an aspen forest today. It was spectacular. The trees were small and many had twisted trunks. To add to [...]

…you gotta look out for the pricks. Of course in this case, the roses were cliff roses, we were at the Grand Canyon and the Germans weren’t up yet. At least we didn’t have to photograph around any of them today. We did sunrise at Cape Royal (those photos will post at a later date). [...]

Well, we’re getting practice in early starts. 4 a.m. Monday, 3 a.m. Tuesday. I think this is Wednesday, but am not sure. Lack of sleep, but worth the effort, I think. Sunrise Sunset

A couple quick posts before we head into the field again. I’m having a great time catching up with old friends and seeing interesting country. Here are a couple shots taken on the way down. We stopped at the Big Rock Candy Mountain, too. Upgraded tourist trap, but interesting landscape. This is probably uranium ore. I [...]

I’m getting ready for a workshop at the north rim of the Grand Canyon. It’s put on by the Salt Lake Art Center and led by my old friend Rodger Newbold. We stay at the Jacob Lake Inn and travel the north side of that big ditch to chase down photographs. Looks like this year [...]
