Explorin' with Jannepaint www.flickr.com/photos/jannepaint/ and p.parviainen www.flickr.com/photos/pparvi/. I forgot my remote switcher to home, so I had only 30 seconds to take this shot. Man, I ran like rabid rabbit :) Straight from the camera.

"Inner Flame"

This canyon was one of the most incredible I've been to, though I know I say things like that a lot. Slot canyons really are like people in that they are all different and have different moods and personalities and energies to them. This one had a cold drafty feel, with ravens making some incredibly weird sounds as they called to each other from their nests, which were built in holes that opened downward 75ft to the ground. The very first step those baby ravens take must result in a successful flight, or instant death. What a place for those crazy birds to raise offspring! It evoked a movie. The best movie sets are inspired by places like this. The balance of warm golden glow with cool bluish hues made beautiful color harmony. The top of the canyon was striped orange, black & tan like a tiger.

I try to remember that photography is the secondary activity. Experiencing the beauty and awe of the place by living, breathing, smelling, listening, seeing, and feeling all that makes it special and unique is the primary activity. If I had left my cameras behind, walking through these atmospheric halls of stone still would have been entirely worthwhile in itself. I walked slowly up the canyon to its exit, and then back down the canyon to the entrance. Then I walked through again, taking in the light, color, & texture, taking in the swoosh of raven's wings, the whistle of wind, the glow of afternoon sun.

With an idea of the images I wanted to create, I composed an image, spending about 30m designing it. When I was finished exploring the canyon with the medium format film camera, I made some exposures on my small format camera.

Finally, I sat on the floor of the canyon in the shadow of the walls with my iPhone, making a few more.

When I was looking at this image, I kept thinking that in the light I had, the monument appeared to glow. I chose this look because it worked with the appearance that the monument had its own inner light.
