Your photos from here are great. I am equally impressed by your honoring the young man in his native environment. I spent a week there and found Monument Valley the most profound trip I've ever taken.
Never heard of it, but I learned much. You are a good teacher.
Good to see this map again. When it was first published I had that mounted on our wall in college. Wish I had it today.
Out of the ordinary. I especially like the snow scene.
First, I LOVE your pictures. Second, I was also there in Apr 2016 and may have been standing nearby. I was wearing a blue shirt. Do you remember me? But seriously, Monument Valley is one of the most memorable trips I've ever taken, for the awesome formations and the spiritual feelings.
Good to see you here. You will like this community of helpful people.
Darrell Young's book is authoritative and readable--he explains things in clear English. I use it often.
When the sculptures were cast at a local foundry in NY, we visited the figures curing on a simple grass lawn. It was quite moving. Once they were moved to Washington DC, they were set among a design committee's carnival that included one of everything: waterfalls, wall, etchings, flag poles, terraces, lighting, shrubs, etc. For me the sculptures were far more effective without all the frills.
You are very lucky to have this connection to your grandfather. I do not have a single picture of mine. We had a good relationship, but no pictures survive. When I left the house for college I think my Mom tossed away many of my things.
Applause to you. Make that a standing ovation.
Nice group of pics. I love the last one, the dead tree. You make a good suggestion--reviewing older files. I do this from time to time and am always surprised by how my estimation changes, or how I see an image with different perception.
Good luck with your back.
So beautiful I exclaimed out loud. Scared the cat.
B&W. It's contrast has a little "snap" to it that took my attention away from the color version.
