I know, I know, if there is one thing the world doesn’t need it is another picture of the Grand Canyon. This one has no sunrise or sunset, no rain shower or rainbow, no dramatic light so it isn’t going to win any prizes. I know all that. I think at this point you would have to be artist in residence for at least a year to get a really spectacular and unique picture of the Grand Canyon. I really didn’t go to the Canyon to photograph this time. I just wanted to see it one more time before (hopefully) leaving the Southwest. Possibly, it will be my last trip to the Canyon as I am realizing that I am not really a landscape photographer, my hiking days are, sadly, behind me, and there are subjects in the Southwest that interest me more. What I like about this image is that it was processed to really highlight the terrain and I had planned my day to be sure and get to a spot where I could see the river that formed the canyon. In spite of being shot at mid-day I think it captures the essence of the Grand Canyon. And that should be the goal of all photographs, regardless of subject.
