Landscape / Seascape nominee

The four corners area, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah encompass some of the most interesting and diverse sculptured lands in the United States. From high altitude mountain ranges to desert monuments, this area of the country hold can a plethora of different opportunities and experiences for the photographer. When you stand at the base of Shiprock, or beholds the natural wonders of Monument Valley's, Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii Valley of Rocks, there is a true spiritual feeling of awe. While it is inspiring, it can be quite challenging to create images that represent the emotion one feels. My hope is that I've captured at least a semblance of this in the photographs in this portfolio.
