When big-band swing meets the big emptiness of the American West. An 8x10 view camera portrait on the canyon rim, complete with blown desert highlights and faded darkroom chemistry.

The Promoter at Dead Horse Point
An urban dance-hall promoter stands on a desert slickrock ledge in an oversized pinstripe zoot suit, holding a battered brass trumpet case against a sheer sandstone canyon. Shot on Ansco Isopan with an 8x10 view camera, the high-contrast monumental composition displays deep focus across the stratified rock, while the aged print has faded toward magenta and cyan with lifted grey shadows and blown-out clouds.

A flatfender stretching its suspension across slickrock one tire at a time.

How much articulation do you really need in an old Willys?

Almost every time we’ve been on it going to slickrock creek wilderness there’s been a few cars stopped with guys looking down the mountain which you know isn’t good.

The road by the dam at the end of the dragon, which isn’t the dragon proper on the NC side is even worse.

The unevenness you can see in this pic is barely noticeable IRL.

The diagonal lines in that sandstone look even stronger in the black and white version. That stubborn little juniper against the slickrock is a great subject. Stay safe out there.

Oh all-knowing neon mage of Escalante, predictor of future events: Will the rain end and the sky clear today so I can brave the slot canyons and slickrock domes?

That's really cool! I'm a geologist in the 4-corners area and that a thing I sort of keyed in on. You can look at a slickrock area with a natural bowl-alcove, and then sort of guess the focal point and walk there and hear a whisper in a specific other location.

The Liston house, Escalante, UT

Due to epic rainstorms and flash flood warnings, I've been forced to skip the slickrock this morning. Argh.

A slow slickrock descent where picking the line matters more than speed.

Would you rather climb this or descend it?

Heading to Escalante in a couple weeks - hoping the sky looks like this - and water in the waterpockets would be nice. Great view of the slickrock, canyonbirds!
