A once in a blue moon event! A blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month, and it is doubly rare that this December it falls on New Year’s eve. I was at Monument Valley to shoot this rare occasion. I was out at sunset and waited for the moon to rise [...]

Arizona Perspective IV – Slot Canyons

A slot canyon is a narrow deep canyon formed by water and wind. That’s the geological definition. For the photographer, it is a subterranean theater of light where a play of shifting sunlight and shadows cast purple, orange and red hues on sensuous canyon walls. On my road trips to North Arizona, I visited 3 [...]

It was a cold early December start at 4 a.m. for a 2-hour drive into the back country to the Paria Wilderness. It snowed the night before so the wilderness was layered with fresh snow.

Where can you find more than 1.6 million individual saguaro plants [...]

I was one of the hundreds of “leaf peepers” who descended on Oak Creek Canyon in Sedona at the end of October when the fall colors were at its peak. At popular trails like West Fork, the car park was full by 9am and many had to park 1-2 miles along the scenic Oak Creek [...]
