As I got out my camera gear and prepared to take a picture, I was amazed at the enormous number of people who would stop their cars, jump out excitedly, and run around in circles pointing up at the redwoods.

Then they’d quickly jump back in and head on to the next “pull-out” on the side of the road, never taking the time to hike the trails and experience the spiritual rejuvenation offered by the forest.

This occurrence was a reminder to me that I should not rush through life, striving merely to reach a destination, when the trip itself is a wonderful joy.

Photographs of Monument Valley don’t do justice

Photographs of Monument Valley don’t do justice to the wide-open space filled with such large monuments.

It is humbling to stand near any one of them.

It is natural to want to capture the awe of the monuments, but because of their size it is difficult to capture the immense size in a photograph.

I photographed each monument just as most photographers do, but the longer I stayed in Monument Valley the more I wanted to capture the beauty of the environment in which the monuments are located. I began photographing differently.

This image reflects the desert and the wide-open space where the monuments proudly stand.

When I saw this Calla Lily blooming in my mother-in-law’s California garden back in 1970, I couldn’t resist photographing it. The simplicity of the form combined with the sensuous feeling of the flower made for a wonderful photograph.

As a young photographer in the 1960s and 70s, I was inspired by Edward Weston’s vegetables and Georgia O’Keeffe’s flowers so I was trying to emulate some of their famous art. These artists plus Ansel Adams, Wynn Bullock, and Alfred Stieglitz inspired me during my early days as a photographer.

Photographing the Navajo slot canyons could be a l

Photographing the Navajo slot canyons could be a lifetime occupation. They are beautiful creations of abstract designs. While we were out west, I took the opportunity to try my hand at photographing them.

We joined a Photographic Tour of Antelope Canyon. I guess I didn’t fully comprehend how fast digital photographers take pictures. There I was with an old fashion large format film camera and by the time I got set up, everyone was ready to head on to the next location! It was very frustrating. I did manage to capture a couple of images. I was amazed they turned out. The experience was so frustrating that I finally gave up and went outside to sit and wait until everyone was through.

When I got outside a Navajo came up to me and said, “I saw you in the canyon and you looked very frustrated. If you’d like an experience that is more appropriate to your large camera, my grandmother owns a slot canyon you can photograph.”

The next day we traveled to his canyon and had a great time.
