I’m not familiar with the story, but I’m glad the photo inspires that image! :)

Your website made me smile. Bookmarked and waiting for more.

It's so big IRL So much water!

13 miles round trip from the rim. If you can get a permit for an overnight at Havasupai Gardens, Plateau Point is a great place to watch the sunset, or to go in the morning without your full pack before hiking back to the rim.

If you are going on foot, be prepared. We rode the donkeys down and up the trail which was scary but fun. There were so many "refugees" scattered along the trail when we were going back up we were giving them our water and snacks; they were woefully unprepared for what they were trying to tackle. It was June and hotter than hell deep down in the canyon.

How long of a hike is that Plateau Point from the rim? I know my knees can’t do the whole way down, but maybe this would still be possible. Sounds amazing.

I was there 5 years ago, stood at pretty much the same spot, and my first thought was something like: "Huh, these postcards actually aren't edited."

Crazy how the canyons can't be explored by anyone...

Just went here recently. What a magical place!

Amazing! Keep up the awesome work, your portfolio already is very nice. I have little doubt you could make it your primary income in time. Remember the hardest step is always the next step!

Last September !

You’re not fooling anyone OP. That’s CLEARLY middle earth.

When was this picture taken…

Thank you very much. I've always felt fortunate and privileged to travel so much now

I HATE that the trees are being cut down! but this is still beautiful.

It's reference to Brooklyn 99

Thank you very much for the kind words. Now I'm traveling full-time after quitting my last job. I hope to make more professional-level work despite it's not my primary income. I'm glad you like my photos.

Wife and I went about a year ago. We drove from Vegas and approached from the south, and had booked a helicopter tour. We got to the town about an hour before the tour, and the airport is south of the canyon as well -- all that is to say, the first time we ever saw the canyon was actually when we flew over it in a helicopter. The ground just falls out below the copter and was one of the craziest experiences of my life seeing that for the first time from above. Bucket list moment for sure

I seriously appreciate your honest feedback on this, different strokes! The white balance is my favorite part and I didn't want to crush the blacks so I left some shadow detail in them. White balance starts to become pretty subjective when you are shooting longer exposures at lower lights, I chose to optimize for the alpen glow.

Woah absolutely stunning photography. You are incredibly talented. Do you do professional work or do you just travel a lot?

I've always wanted to visit a active volcano.

Wow, that is really cold, even for here! I also lucked out on the weather, it really wasn't cold at all. It was probably in the low 30's and no wind whatsoever. I could hear owls hooting in the distance and as I got back to the trail proper, I even heard a wolf howl! I'm looking at booking the yurt now but...by the time there are weekend openings...it won't be very dark anymore.
