“Dramatic look away Rich” Please don’t for a minute confuse “Dramatic look away Rich” with “GI Joe with Kung Fu Grip,” or “Corvette Driving Ken Doll.”  Nope, I’m 100% human non plastic and everything. It’s hard getting perspective in landscape shots sometimes.  It’s even harder portraying the sheer size of the canyons here.  So there [...]

Return of the printer……

Monday, March 14, 2011

That’s right!  I’m back!  I was wedged in a slot canyon for a while, but I finally managed to break free and return to “society”.   Honestly, I’m not just a printer.  I’m a photographer too.  But the last few weeks I’ve felt like the printer is chained to me, and I’d been trapped indoors [...]

The Dells A La Snow

Thursday, December 30, 2010

A winter wonderland this morning?  Yup. Now, back in New Hampshire we never got all wound up about snow.  We lived with it for so many months every year.  But here in Arizona? Yup, snow is something to get excited about, depressed about, causes folks to drive like maniacs, and makes me late getting into [...]

Not long ago [...]

Cottonwood Canyon Road Closed??? Oh what to do, what to do…..

Monday, November 8, 2010

The hope for this past weekend was another tour along Cottonwood Canyon Road (Grand Staircase Escalante).  I really want to spend more time in the area, and I will, but not this week.  The road was closed 10 miles in due to a rockslide.  Not surprising.  The road is not well maintained, and issues surrounding [...]

Off To The Grand Staircase Once More

Thursday, November 4, 2010

Ah yes, another trip to the UT/AZ border again.  There is so much to explore and so many image opportunities.  So when John R got in touch the other week to see if I would be willing to meet him when he stops into Page I said, “Sure!” We’ll be covering several different areas on [...]

There’s sand in my vegenaise

Monday, May 24, 2010

Or, the alternate title….. “No worries….we’ve got a shovel.” Today’s blog post is a story.  It’s the story of Suzukis, sand, sandwiches, & snow.  It’s a White Pocket story, and it has the possibility of a long one.  How long will it go?  That depends on when I wear down and succumb to the sleep [...]
