The Grand Canyon
Okay, you didn’t actually think that I would
travel all the way to Arizona without my
digital camera in tow, did you? No, sir.
As an added bonus to the Sedona post,
here are a couple of shots that I took with
my 5d MkII of the Grand Canyon. I have
been to the Canyon a few different times,
but it is a uniquely awe-inspiring and
breath-taking experience each and every
time. There are some natural wonders that
no matter how great the photograph, will
never compare to the experience of
standing there and taking it all in. That
said, I will upload these images anyhow.
If only 10% of the impact of the moment is
conveyed with these photographs then it is
well worth it.
Thanksgiving in Sedona
Yes, yes… I know, this post is a little late. Thanksgiving, you say? We are practically at Christmas! Okay, valid point. However, since I just switched over to a new blog recently I have a little catching up to do. I hope you’ll forgive me. Now that we got that out of the way, I thought I would share a few shots taken during our trip to Sedona, Arizona for Turkey Day. I brought my film gear with me on this trip and made that my primary medium. My pack included my 4×5 Sinar view camera, my trusted Hasselblad medium-format camera and the good ‘ole Holga. Thankfully we drove to Sedona instead of flying and had room in the car for all the gear. Ethan, our 16-month-old had to be smooshed to the side to accommodate the large-format camera, but all in the name of art, right? I’m sure he understands. Sedona was an amazingly beautiful haven amidst the Arizona desert, chock full of crystals and talk of the mystical vortex. The following are some of the scans from the Hasselblad:
