Each year I go to someplace I have never been to inspire my imagination and put it on photo paper. Last year I went up the Oregon Coast from Brookings to Depoe Bay. Camping at Harris Beach State Park in Billings and Sunset Bay by Coos Bay. My focus was on landscape photographer of Oregon’s Sea Stacks and sunsets.

This year will be the longest photography trip up to 23 days living in our Sprinter van we call “Tiny”. Tiny is being outfitted with a platform bed, solar generator and portable 12v refrigerator.

We plan to see the southwest from Nevada, Utah, Arizona and parts of California. In Utah we are visiting Dinosaur National Monument, Dead Horse Point SP (Moab), Canyonlands NP (Moab), Arches NP (Moab), Goblin SP, Capitol Reef NP, Valley of the Gods, Monument Valley, Zion NP, and Bryce Canyon. In Arizona the North and South Rim of the Grand Canyon. In Nevada Lake Mead and Valley of Fire SP. In California Death Valley, Mammoth Lakes and Yosemite NP.

We will be blogging here as we go so stay tune.
