Description
On a 1,000+ miles adventure tour of the Navajo Nation I created this image of my traveling partner as we rode the dirt out to Paiute Farms. Not to insinuate that there are farms there, there isn't, that's just what it's called. Photographing while touring the Southwest, while adventure touring on my BMW motorcycle is one of life's great pleasures. The location was about 20 miles North of Goulding, Utah.
My work is rooted in my experience in nature. As an outdoor enthusiast, rock climber, adventure motorcycle rider, SCUBA Dive Master and Instructor, kayaker, Swift Water Safety Instructor and a whitewater river guide, I have found myself in some pretty amazing places. Having a camera in hand is perhaps the only way that "they" would believe me. It could be a iphone, a simple point and shoot or my Nikon . The challenge for me has been learning how to use my gear and knowing its potential. I utilize digital processing to enhance what is already there. Striving to find a balance between the physical and its essence. The natural wonder that I feel in the outdoors reminds me of my childhood musings, where my sense of adventure was free from erroneous limitations, where there were no rules. It is this sense of play that I share via my photographs.
