Photos from the Four Corner states and beyond.

Landscape photography is what originally intrigued me when I started to get serious about photography. I still love to find these places and capture them in the best way that I am able.

Feature 1

Through the fence, between the curling flower spaces, I could see them shooting.

Feature 2

It was the best of photography, it was the worst of nothing, it was the age of sharing, it was the age of privacy.

Feature 3

Whether I shall turn out to be the best photographer of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these portfolio pages must show.

Feature 4

Someone must have shared Josef K’s portfolio, for one morning, without having done anything truly self-promotional, he was lauded.

Feature 5

Happy photographers are all on SlickPic; every unhappy photographer is unhappy on some other service.

Feature 6

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single person in possession of good photography skills, must be in want of a portfolio.

From Wiki: "Spiral Jetty is an earthwork sculpture [by Robert Smithson] constructed in April 1970 on the northeastern shore of the Great Salt Lake near Rozel Point in Utah. The sculpture is built of mud, precipitated salt crystals, basalt rocks, and water. The sculpture forms of a 1,500-foot-long (460 m), 15-foot-wide (4.6 m) counterclockwise coil jutting from the shore of the lake. The sculpture is sometimes visible and sometimes submerged, depending upon the water level of the Great Salt Lake." Spiral Jetty was submerged for about 30 years shortly after its construction, but drought in the last several years has left it mostly exposed. This photo was made in June 2015, and the edge of the Great Salt Lake is some distance from the artwork. Taken with a DJI Phantom 2 Vision + at an altitude of 116 ft/35 m.
