The View From Here

This is one of my first large fomat shots. I was on a trip to Arches National Park with my dad and little brother Austin. Austin and I had been hiking in Devil’s Garden for about 4 hours and the sun was about to set. I had been anticipating this shot for years, in an area at the end of the trail, as I had been to that spot many times, and it had become special to me. I was nervous that I would do something wrong, but it all turned out well. This image was accepted into the Springville Art Museum’s 84th Annual Spring Salon last year for display.

This picture was taken at Canyonlands National Park. My wife, Jenn, and I hiked down a steep mountain into this amazing valley. We camped, all alone, surrounded by unique rock formations. I took this early in the morning after a rain storm.
