Stepping into another world: southern Utah’s alien landscapes

Ever thought about doing a short midday landscape video sometime—just to show the world that great photography doesn’t have to wait for golden or blue hour? You've already got such a sharp eye… honestly, with the way you see light, you could be the next Edward Weston. It’d be awesome to see you lead where others overlook.

You do you on the composition. It looks incredible. You have a particular style. I’d love to see the same place with the high contrast you were trying to avoid. I think it would tell the story of how that location really is about contrast.

Time Zones & Daylight Savings lol. I was doing photography in Yak & Kimberly British Columbia for 3 days a couple decades ago. Couldn't figure out why I was always an Hour Late for everything that weekend. What I didn't realize was the Yak & Kimberly were in Alberta's time zone (Mountain Time). My bad!

I feel the pain with the time zones around there. We drove to Kanab last fall and coming up through Vegas, crossing through Arizona into Utah, through St. George, and then through Arizona again to get back to Utah and finally Kanab, Google Maps had are arrival time estimated to be about an hour earlier than when we left St. George.

A moonscape. Great for minimalist photography.

What a stunning area! I think you have an amazing eye for composition. The one with the foreground rock pointing out of the scene, well, sometimes in the excitement of the moment and rapidly changing light, we just have to get what we can when we can. I admire you for including it, anyway; a teaching moment for your viewers. Keep doing what you're doing. Love your videos.

do you meet people sometimes there ? or always alone ?

I like that animal head rock image, with the moon above. You are too hard on yourself.

That "rock" image... While it may not be a good composition in the traditional sense as you explained, I think it has some emotion to it. It makes me feel uncomfortable, like I'm not welcome there. I dig it! The rest are great too, as usual. Love your work, keep it up!
