I've Moved!

Long time, no type! For years, I poured my heart into the photography blog that used to be here, hoping to inspire others to explore the magic of southern Utah - a place that captured me from the moment I first set foot in it nearly 40 years ago. That passion eventually led to a career in tourism promotion, where I got to help others experience the region safely and smartly. I loved it - but the creative energy the job demanded often left me too drained to keep my personal blog alive. Now, I’m fully retired and back behind the lens with a renewed love for both photography and the desert Southwest. Not a bad place to be! Looking back, the desert has shaped nearly every chapter of my life - and like a lot of retired guys, I’ve got stories and lots of pretty pictures. I thought I’d share a few. Nothing too profound - just favorite moments, captured through My Desert Lens. Come take a look at my new blog... mydesertlens.com

Gallery: Arches National Park

Arches National Park contains the world's largest concentration of natural sandstone arches. Although over 2,000 arches are located within the park's 76,518 acres, the park also contains an astounding variety of other geological formations. Colossal sandstone fins, massive balanced rocks, soaring pinnacles and spires dwarf visitors as they explore the park's viewpoints and hiking trails. Arches National Park is located just 5 miles from our front door, so Rhonda and I are always running into the park to take some photos. Every photographer knows that some of the best lighting of the day occurs around sunset, so that is the time that we take advantage of the most. The red rocks of Arches are beautiful just about any time of the day, but at sunset they are luminous!
