Charl and I hiked up a small box canyon in the Vermilion Cliffs near Kanab, Utah. (Actually, I had to carry him over the rough stuff.) The Vermilion Cliffs are the lowermost of the “steps” in the Grand Staircase Natl. Monument. Iron oxide in the sandstone gives it the gorgeous red color.
My past careers as science teacher and geologist mean that I can't help but teach about the natural history of photogenic places around the world. But photography is not forgotten. You'll also see practical tips about where and how to photograph the destinations. And once a week, Friday Foto Talk gives photography tips and how-to on a selected topic, for novices on up to expert.
What you won't find here is endless discussion about me braving dangerous weather, terrain or wild animals to get the shot. Nor will there be cheerleading gear talk or marketing pitches. I promise to leave that to other blogs, of which there are many.
Please don't be shy; your words are what makes my day!
