My first visit to the Grand Canyon was on my very first photographic trip in October 1984. I revisited the area in the early nineties, but haven’t been there since. I am in the early stages of planning a next book, a southwestern adventure. It should be a great one, but may not be out until 2011.
After cancelling a trip overseas, we decided to do a shoot back in canyon country. I had sucessfully photographed Bryce and Arches
in Utah and Canyon de Chelly in Arizona last April. Thoughts of returning to the Grand Canyon have been with me for a while. Well, the time had come. We left Denver on Sunday morning, the 18th of October and drove to Moab, proceeding to Arches National Park, where we hiked up the 1 1/2 mile trail to the Delicate Arch for sunset. However the light was blah as are my photos. Monday afternoon we arrived at the Grand Canyon to a cloudless, blah day. Tuesday’s weather report was for a system coming through in the afternoon.
So it did, and the canyon came alive. I have two new shots from there that I will be releasing for the holidays. One is called “Deep In Twilight”. However, my favorite two shots of the trip came from
Walnut Canyon and Sedona. Returning to Denver, we stayed in Santa Fe and I captured two great new door photos that will be in the collection. The gallery premiere will be Dec. 9th and a special sneak peak will be held in Charlotte, N.C. on Friday evening, November 20th at the Southern Christmas Show at the Park.
