I spent several days hiking and camping in the Salt River Canyon. Salt River Canyon Wilderness is a 32,101-acre wilderness area located within the Tonto National Forest in the U.S. state of Arizona.

A Photographer's Love Letter: The American Southwest

T
his mysterious land of enchantment—the American Southwest—is a siren song seducing many an explorer, writer, poet, artist and even those seeking healing of the metaphysical kind. It’s an indescribable allure that promises those of a curious nature to provide endless fascination. For those suffering the ills of industrialized urbanization, the open road and vast empty spaces have long inspired romantic notions, uplifted spirits, encouraged self-discovery and delivered an unabashed sense of freedom. You’re entering a realm imbued with a magical charm and a tangible presence of ancient people.

15th Street, Newport Beach
I've had this project in the back of my mind for literally years.
My memories of Newport Beach are so endearing that I've wanted to see if I could capture the "essence" of what made this place so special.

Lowepro Backpack Review
Ihad the opportunity to review Lowepro’s Flipside 400 AW backpack last year. That backpack survived some intense hikes, including Angel's Landing and the Narrows in Zion National Park. To this day, The Flipside bag still remains one my favorite.
Multi-day treks with camping gear in tow mingling in the same cargo space as expensive camera gear create numerous concerns. The added weight could compromise stability on rugged trails. Conventional backpacks aren't set up to secure delicate lenses and cameras. Good thing Lowepro specializes in just that.
The idea is to carry as much photography gear needed to capture the landscape but still have room for other essentials such as clothing layers, food, water, and first aid and accessories.

First Friday Phoenix
That mindless droning of the downtown business hub transforms into an eclectic mix of art, crafts, music, dancing, drinking, eating, incense, hedonism, religion and the "warm smell of colitas rising up through the air"

Classic West Fork 2018
I've put to thought often,
how it is that
certain locations just resonate so brilliantly
with your own psyche.
When I look at my own images, it's the first thing I see or I don't see.

Published by National Geographic 2019
Several years ago, I wrote a story about my first hiking trip into the Narrows of Zion. On this particular trip I was fortunate enough to have the hike all to myself in the wee hours of a warm May morning. It was a rich experience the felt entrancing and humbling to be in a place of such intense beauty. At times, I'm bathed in the soft canyon bounce light and got lost in the sounds of the Virgin River rambling on by as my legs, my whole body sways with it's rhythm.
The echos of the canyon wrens keep me company and I just can't stop looking up.
