Anyway, this is my 2nd ‘Great Escape’ adventure to Southern Utah for Spring Break. This is only my 2nd year doing photography and I am starting to amaze myself with what I can pull off. Three years ago I took my first amazing digital photo in Wire Pass. I took this shot with a cheap Pentax camera, no real thought about exposure, dynamic range, composition—-

The year after this trip I was back to Southern UItah – this time with a 4×4 and a little better point and shoot camera. The photos were better as my skills had developed in the intervening time..

And now the Great Escape 2.0 – my skills have really improved and I have moved into an entry level Canon SLR camera. I owe a lot of gratitude to a number of people who have helped, funded, inspired and encouraged me to pursue my photographic exploits.

This was a 9-day, 1600 mile loop around Lake Powell from Phoenix. About 800 miles driven were off road. Saw some of the most beautiful places the world has to offer.

I came home with over 28 gigs of photos, some 7,500 frames. Granted, ~4,000 of those frames were for 2 different timelapse sequences, but yea, a bunch of photos…
