The in-between places
.
All the good landscape photographers know right where to go. They know when to arrive as well: unpacking their equipment and calibrating the dials. When the sun kisses the horizon they release their shutters, capturing exquisite scenery and drama.
.
Unfortunately, I’m not there with them. I’m too easily distracted: chasing the next bend in the canyon, or another crest on the ridge. When golden hour catches up, I’m nowhere: a random confluence of arroyos, another dead-end box canyon. One of the in-between places.
.
Over the years I’ve learned that these places have their own kind of magic. It’s something wild and lonesome. Despite all my attempts, the unique character of these places never survives the translation to pixels. It’s out there though. Look for the in-between places, and you’ll find it.
It's been a busy year! New career path, new job, new state, new house. The help, support, and encouragement we've received from family and friends have been amazing. I'll miss the deserts of Arizona, but Utah is nothing to sniff at. I'm excited to be closer to these mountains again, and have more time for photography! #highuintaswilderness #uintamountains
Winter doesn't suppress the beauty of wilderness; instead it subverts the typical hegemony of leaves and color. In winter, pattern and shape reign supreme.
What's your favorite thing about winter?

Reports of my Insta-demise are grossly exaggerated! Life has been busy delivering surprises, as it so often does. Thanks to everyone for hanging around. I'll be back to posting more regularly in the not-so-distant future!
A watery susurrus rebounds off stone walls. What started as a whisper is amplified into a hushed cacophony. It's a a 360-degree resonant assault on the senses.

Thank you, Dad, for laying the wilderness at my boots and opening the doorway to discovery.
We entered the narrows at twilight. This is the witching hour in slot canyons. The overpowering brightness of day retreats, and other Muses claim successive transcendence: first color, then pattern, and finally shadow.

Stone walls constrained my gaze through a dimming serpentine aperture. It's strange that such a narrow window in time and space makes the world feel immense. It seems like the whole vast universe with all its monstrous uncertainty seeps out through the cracks.

Featuring an awesome photo taken by my friend on a joint adventure, edited by me. If you have a moment go check out his account. He has an unsurpassable knack for finding unusual and out-of-the-way places.

On the second day we left the trail behind. We sloshed across marshes and skirted around deadfall, traversing one pine-carpeted valley after another and cresting tall ridges in between. Each high point offered spectacular views of the surrounding basins. On the fourth day we topped the final ridge standing between us and our destination. Surveying the surrounding land revealed nothing but unbroken wilderness in every direction. To the north, the central spine of the Uintas receded into the distance.

Jojoba has always been one of my favorite plants of the Sonoran Desert. That might be the case simply because it's one of the few that isn't trying to stab everyone.

Oil harvested from the seeds of this humble shrub is used to make such wide-ranging things as cosmetics, industrial lubricants, and biodiesel. Most mammals can't digest the oil. Mashed seeds were used by early indigenous people as a salve for wounds, or they were eaten medicinally for their appetite suppressant and laxative properties.

#lostdutchman #superstitionmountains #jojoba
The Left Fork of North Creek. It's a tedious name for such an otherworldly place. A thousand ribbons of water unfurl across a terraced sandstone avenue. Liquid voices reverberate from sheer walls that soar hundreds of feet overhead.
