 From
the moment you enter Monument Valley you'll want to have your
camera at the ready. The combination of sinuous sand dunes,
gnarled juniper trunks, sweeping vistas and grandiose rock
formations can yield photograph after extraordinary photograph.
Ancient windswept mesas have eroded here into the narrow buttes
and distinctive "monuments" that give this region its name.
Bring plenty of film to capture the striking panorama before
you. While we're in Monument Valley we may visit the home
of a talented weaver as her fingers move swiftly across the
warp threads of her loom, skillfully creating a boldly-patterned
rug. We'll also explore the arches and other unique formations
of Mystery Valley.
 Canyon
de Chelly offers us quite a different set of photographic
challenges. Shooting from the canyon rim into its depths at
sunrise and sunset, you'll want to be sure to bring a warming
filter and polarizer to make canyon features such as Spider
Rock stand out. Within the canyon, it's the fabulous cliff
dwellings and petroglyphs that will be our focus, as we stop
at First Ruin, Antelope House, Standing Cow Ruin, White House
Ruin and more on a day-long tour. The cottonwood and willow
trees will provide a bold contrast to the stark pre-Columbian
cliff dwellings tucked securely within the towering sandstone
walls. After a scenic farewell from the rim of the canyon
we'll continue on to Ganado for a stop at Juan Lorenzo Hubbell's
active trading post.
Both workshops will
cover artistic vision and composition, and are open to both
film and digital photographers.
