The vast confines of the southwest, from Phoenix to Arches National Park, provided our photography group with a cornucopia of landscapes and people. We photographed the artifacts of civilization, too, from contemporary architecture to prehistoric art. Some of what we saw looked like a dreamworld. Some of what we saw was kitschy. All of it offered to connect us to a wider world.

His Last Day on the Ranch

We spied a young cowboy - from Ohio - on his last day at work at a resort along the Colorado River. He graciously assented to being photographed by our group. Soon he would be back to Ohio.

I’ve been to Monument Valley several times, and I’ve made the obligatory photographs of the Totem Poles, the sand dunes, and Salt Creek. On this trip, I turned my attention elsewhere.

Until a couple of years ago, though, I’m not sure I would have been able to turn my camera away from the familiar scenes I knew the rest of our group was photographing. As the trip leader, I used to feel it incumbent upon myself to photograph what the others photographed. In fact, I do photograph the same things. Now, though, I’m more willing to give myself over to other subjects, too.


Now it’s not so important that I make photographs of a particular place, like Monument Valley, or Yellowstone, or Yosemite. It’s more important that I’m making photographs in those places, no matter what the subject.

Jean Above the San Juan Juan River, At Goosenecks State Park, Utah

Don't fall off the edge, Jean! Here the San Juan River, nestled in a deep canyon, has carved itself a channel comprised of a series of serpentine turns.

This woman, a Navajo who works at the San Juan Inn, was completely at ease as I made her portrait.
