Arizona.

With my mom and my aunt by my side, my very first photography adventure didn’t disappoint. In 2008 I had planned my very first trip and in 2009, with a Nikon D40 and kit lens in hand, I was able to capture some of my very first images.

Titled “When Light Conquers Dark” the above image was featured in Earth Shots photo of the day contest. The canyon is beautifully carved by wind and water and at just the right time of day you can witness beams of light reach the sandy floor of the narrow slot canyon.

Monument Valley

We had a wonderful guide, who we called Indian Dave, and he took us around to some of his favorite places, like teardrop arch, on the reserve.

On this trip we visited Arches, Zion National Park and Lake Powell Recreation area as well. It’s probably some of my favorite landscape in the country. It’s high on my list for a return trip.
