“The mesmerizing slot canyons, located within the Navajo Nation near Page, Arizona, have been on my travel bucket list for many years. As a photographer, I had long anticipated the intense color and ever-changing light that I was to experience in these ancient sacred canyons. I genuinely respect the Navajo people and this entire area. The Antelope Canyons are known to them as “the place where water and wind run through the rocks” continuously form them over the course of time. As I was immersed within the deep hollows of the Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons, I realized within myself the transformation of visual admiration growing into a profound spiritual reverence for these magnificent cathedrals of nature. I felt the completeness of earth, water, wind and sky working in concert patiently sculpting these sacred canyons over the eons to allow me to capture these images. It seemed I could return day after day, perhaps to see yet another change in light, angle, texture or composition, but I left content with my photographs and what transpired within myself. As a photographer, I tend to view the world from the perspective of a camera lens, but more importantly I am learning that the most valuable perspective is found within oneself.”
