The Patriarchs
Gearing up for a wild summer ahead...lots of trips planned, Tetons, Glacier, Alaska, Banff, Yellowstone, Kauai. Looking forward to processing some fresh material. I haven't been super inspired lately, frustrating when any hint of creativity leaves you. I've become more selective with what I WANT to process, but still process images that I'm not in love with...just because I feel pressure to create new images and I don't have much else to work on. That happens to me a lot....hoping to change that this year. I really enjoyed my AZ trip, but found myself working the files a lot to get to a final image, and I wasn't super happy with the final results. I find that I actually process much better when there's dramatic/moody light versus colorful, pink and fiery skies. I just have no idea what direction to take with some of those colorful skies, and I find they often end up looking less realistic when I'm done. It's challenging. This was some nice light in Zion at a typical spot, but one of my favorite areas to shoot in the park. I just love these towers. I was fortunate enough to share it with Eric Bennett, Alex Noriega, and Hunter Page. All great people and super down to earth, made the morning that much better. Met up with Eric and Hunter again at White Pocket and looking forward to the next trip where we cross paths.
