Connecting with Nature~
Let me start by saying that a HUGE part of my work is connecting with a scene, connecting with the nature around me, and although this may appear as a very serene, and magical place it is in fact the very opposite. I could not form any semblance of a connection here, and it took quite a lot of effort for me to form a vision in which to process this image. I have avoided this place for the time I have lived and explored in the Southwest because of the crowds that flow through this place. Although the canyon is stunning, the hundreds of oblivious tourists that are packed in here is something I have never seen the likes of. With 200 onlookers (video in comments) breathing down my neck, bumping into me and my tripod, and another hundred just beyond the bend in this photo. You are rushed through the canyon, given seconds to prepare and a few more seconds to make a photo as your guide tosses sand high up into the air. Never has my anxiety been so high...
I think I will stick with real nature, or as close as I can come to it.
Enjoy the image anyway!
