Photographing Monsoon Storms & Light at the Grand Canyon - 2023
It has been another great year photographing monsoon storms, rainbows, and light at the Grand Canyon.
Since late July, I have led several photography workshops on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, and I've made numerous personal trips to both the South Rim and the North Rim of the park...
What I have been up to the past few months
Hey, everyone! It has been several months since my last post here in the Journal, and if you haven't guessed, I've been staying busy with several projects lately. I've also been leading lots of private photography workshops, and I've spent time volunteering with the Parks in Focus program during their outings to the Grand Canyon...
A Moment in Nature - Sailing Amongst the Clouds
The rain has just stopped, and the sun is slowly breaking through the clouds, illuminating the sublimity of the ever-changing landscape of the Grand Canyon. The air is crisp and fresh, and the scent of wet earth and trees fills your senses...
Images from this Winter at the Grand Canyon
This winter has been the kind that photographers dream of. Since December of 2022, much of northern Arizona has been impacted by what seemed like a non-stop wave of winter storms. At my home near Flagstaff, as of March 1st, we have received over 150 inches of snow...
The best guide to the Grand Canyon is also a master of helping you get the most out of your camera.
I have been doing landscape photography for over 20 years, and I have traveled with some great photographers as guides. In all that time, I have never met a photo instructor who has taught me so much about getting high resolution, low noise, good color depth, and great composition in landscape photography like Adam Schallau. He has taught me an efficient workflow to get the most out of my equipment in fast-changing light.

As 2022 begins to wind down, I have come to realize that I am way behind on developing the photographs I have made over the past year. I've been very productive and have lots of new photos to share including these from the Grand Canyon...
Exploring the Forest on the North Rim
When we think of Arizona, our mind wanders to visions of flat deserts populated by the Saguaro cactus and the occasional roadrunner. What may not come to mind is rolling terrain and dense forests with numerous types of trees, but the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park is just such a place...
Sacred Daturas at the Grand Canyon
This past August, I spent some time in the Tuweep District of Grand Canyon National Park. My primary goal was to photograph from Toroweap overlook which has a commanding view of the Colorado River. I couldn't help but be a bit distracted as, thanks to a very rainy monsoon season, the surrounding desert was full of Sacred Datura flowers...
