I was fortunate to conduct three photography tours in autumn, 2006, first to the east side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, then to Yosemite in late October, and now to Zion and Bryce National Parks. This lasat trip had a magical quality for me. Beauty was everywhere, beauty at the boundary of belief. In truth, I was still on a powerful psychological high from events that took place on the prior trips, which included photographing some wonderful scenery, travling with some terrific photographers and connecting with a good friend. As it was in places like the ghost town at Bodie, and in Yosemite, several pictures in this gallery seemed to come from somewhere beyond me, beyond my skill and experience as a photographer. Other photographs were sparked by suggestions by trip participants.

Photographers Above Paris

Walk the interior of the Paris Hotel and it feels like strolling along the streets of Paris during a perpetual twilight - except for the casino, of course, plunked down in the middle of the city of lights. The strange erector set at the upper right of this photograph is actually a support for the hotel's version of the Eiffel Tower.

Ah, Paris!

We explored the vast, near hallucinatory interior as well as the outside of the Paris Hotel.

Magic Kingdom For Adults

We were headed to Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks. However, we spent the first night in Las Vegas. Before going to bed, we crusied the Las Vegas Strip and photographed some of the hotels, including the Excalibur.

Random Photo #2

Burrito's digesting, cell phone is charging, we stare out the window at the beauty of a desert sunset, and I shove my camera up against the window glass with one hand, press the shutter without looking at what the camera is looking at, while my other is hand on the steering wheel, and we are holding steady at 70 mph.

Multi-Tasking Along the I-15

This is what these trips are all about on the first day out: driving the van, on the cell phone, eating a burrito, talking trash, listening to the news and, oh yeah, shoving my camera out the window at 70 miles per hour to make a random photo or two.

A Bountiful Crop at the Bottle Farm

Our group of seven photographers met in Los Angeles to begin our journey to Bryce and Zion National Parks, with a first night in Las Vegas. At the high desert town of Victorville, we decided to escape the freeway and take a portion of historic Route 66. Along the way, we stopped to admire the colorful folk art on exhibit at the Bottle Farm.
