The last light above the lone spire in Utah.

That little white spec by the spires is me. For anyone who has been there you know how massive this place is and all I could see from the ground was a burning pink and purple color above the walls of rock surrounding me. I flew my drone high above them and could not believe my eyes. It was truly one of the most fiery sunsets I’ve witnessed. Everyone who knows me knows I love things that are epic…and this was indeed just that.
We all have those trips that we wish we could just pause and relive.
From the sand to the sun….Utah is a seemingly infinite canvas decorated with variations of dust and gold.
Back to the Future.

For this shot I started the car at the end point and put it in reverse during the long exposure. What most people will think is a reflection in the car window is actually the landscape behind it but it shows in perfect clarity because the car only ended in front of the camera at the last second. I wish I would have done a longer exposure so the light trails would’ve started further out front but I know for next time.
A view that makes a fleeting moment feel eternal.
Alone under the stars in Goblin Valley for what was be a forever memory to me. Yet, to the land I stood on and the stars I stood under I am no more than just another ghost. There for a moment and gone the next.
Standing atop Hunts Mesa - What a night and memory this was. Touring with Melvin, who runs monument Valley - Hunts Mesa edition was how I kicked off my solo road trip through Utah. We climbed incredible terrain on a UTV which was an absolute blast. Then we set up camp for sunset with this view. Some bbq chicken cooked over the fire and then a perfect sunrise the next morning. Melvin was an amazing guide and represents Navajo nation well! Beautiful culture, beautiful stories and beautiful land. What a privilege to experience Hunts Mesa this way.
Happy world photography to all my fellow wanderers who get up at ungodly hours just to see that first bit of light breathe life into a new day.
I remember thinking how alive i felt while walking across the dunes in Death Valley. It was the sense of endless exploration, the limitless landscape and the overwhelming feeling of wanderlust that came over me while there.
