After a five day hike in Grand Canyon National
Park, it is nice to be able to take in scenery by
driving to it. After our backcountry experience, we
took my father-in-law on the drive along the east
rim to the various lookout points where we were
able to see the trails we had been on during the
previous five days. This image was taken from Moran
Point on the east rim drive. During my trip to
Grand Canyon in November 2000, my friend Sheila had
found this particular tree to nicely frame the
canyon and I feel she should get some of the credit
for this image. We had several people approach us
as I was taking this image (as often happens when a
4 x 5 view camera is taken out) and ask about the
camera and why I was using it as opposed to a 'new'
camera. I really enjoy talking to people about the
camera and offering them the opportunity to see how
it works. It is this interaction that makes
shooting in populated areas really enjoyable for
me. --Rebecca |
