Day 2: Antelope Canyon
Okay, okay... I know I said daily updates were on the way. Technically day two was two days ago, making this day four. The truth is that when I'm out on the road, editing time is at a premium. Life happens, new opportunities present themselves and I do my very best to get lost. With that said, I have traveled from Denver, through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the American southwest and on into Santa Fe, NM. It's surprising this is my first visit to this place. Especially considering its healthy market for photography, I'm saddened I've never been here. As I sit at my hotel desk editing photographs and sipping Dale's Pale Ale I realize these should have gone up days ago. This is the last time I will visit this part of the country before I graduate in the spring and there is a pressure to push past the long hours and get the shots I need. I will be heading to Taos, NM tomorrow and on into Denver before continuing on to Minnesota. It strikes me that in a few short weeks I will have traveled over 8,000 miles, yikes!
With all that said and you having moved on to another website, I will wrap this up. The following photographs and video (did I upload a video?) represents the second day of travel in this odyssey of fools.
Cheers and Happy Christmas,

Day 1: Monument Valley
It's that time of year when I grab my gear and head west. This round of travels will bring me from Denver into Utah, Arizona and New Mexico over the course of less than a week. Today I made my way from my home in Capitol Hill over Vail Pass, into sun baked Moab, UT, through snow kissed Monument Valley and into Page, AZ. Tomorrow morning I will be heading into Antelope Canyon and southwest to the Mojave Valley. Stay tuned in for daily video care of the GoPro Hero3 Black and more stills than you can shake a stick at. For now, I need to get packing for the mornings adventure. I leave you with a taste of the day:
