Going Handheld – Antelope Canyon
This was my second visit to the Antelope Canyon in northern Arizona. It’s a great place to stop for a few hours if you’re ever driving through. This time I…

Shooting The Wave With The Sony A7r & Zeiss 35mm
I finally had a chance to go to The Wave this month. We actually did the lottery and won on our second try. Lucky us, I guess. Some people have…
The Good Luck Bend
It's also known as Horseshoe Bend. It's located just south of Page, Arizona, near the border of Utah. This is the start of the Colorado River out of Lake Powell. The area is known as Glen Canyon. Hanging this photo on your wall could also bring you good luck. :) One magical characteristic of horseshoes hanging on walls is that they hold in good luck. They have to be facing upward, though. Oftentimes, people turn them upside down, and all the luck pours out.
Buried Alive – Lower Antelope Canyon
I'm struggling to go through all my photos from last year and finish processing them before I get my new Sony A7r. I know once I get that camera, I won't want to touch my old 5Dmkii photos anymore, even though they are perfectly good.
Epic Monuments – Canon 5DmkII
This is another one from Monument Valley. I'm kind of tempted to go back there this winter. I'm not sure if that's a good idea, though. There have been a lot of storms this month already. I don't want to get stranded without four-wheel drive in a Utah snowstorm.
Artist’s Point at Monument Valley
Finally getting some time to go back through my photos. I haven't posted much from Monument Valley, and I really think this is one of the more spectacular places I've been to in a while. The place almost seems fake or unnatural. I've also been playing around a little with the VSCO presets.
Stars Above Monument Valley
This was my first attempt at making a Milk Way landscape shot. I know there are several formulas but the elements are always changing and you just have to keep…
Glowing Walls of Antelope Canyon
This was my first time in Antelope Canyon. I've been to the area a few times before but never realized these canyons were just right there. This was taken in the Lower Antelope Canyons, which is more known for its diversity of colors. When the sun breaks through the rocks the walls glow a range of colors from oranges to almost purples.
Looking Down the Grand Canyon
This photo was taken from Mather Point, looking down at the Colorado River as it continues cutting its way through the Grand Canyon. To process this HDR photo, I used…
The Last Sunset of 2012
My wife and I decided to spend New Year’s in Tucson, Arizona, visiting some friends. I love southern Arizona, except in the summer—the weather is nice, the sunsets are beautiful,…
