Photographs of Bryce Canyon
April 23rd, 2009 by Andy MarquezTwo of the photographs I took at Bryce Canyon on the Thursday before Easter are,
I feel, two of the best landscape shots I’ve done in my career. I picked the negs up from my lab last week and I was thrilled with what I saw. They came out better than I expected. Once again I stress, the anxiety and exuberant feeling of using film is part of the art of creating great images. In addition to the two from Bryce,
I have selected two shots from Canyon de Chelly and one from Arches National Park, that I have been tryiing to get for seven years. At last ! I could not be happier with the results.
When will I release the new images ? On May 1st, they will be released to the general public to see at our gallery in Cherry Creek North. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 1st, 2nd and 3rd, we will be hosting our 25th Silver Anniversary Celebration at the gallery featuring the new images from canyon country. They will be presented on canvas, and are available in any size canvas and in photographic prints. If you’re able, please join us.
I think back to the beginning. Our first show was the Houston flea market in Texas. The fee for the show was $20. We sold a print of the Galveston surf for $25, and we were on our way. For those who don’t know, we remained in Houston for the next year, then in May of 1985 moved to Colorado and since then have done almost 800 art shows, and have had our galleries in Littleton and then Cherry Creek since 1992. Photographing in 32 counties and six continents has been way more then I would have ever dreamed on that hot day in Houston, 25 years ago. It’s also a very extraordinary feeling knowing that the images I’m about to release are some of my best.
