FROM THE ROAD; OUR 2016-2017 UTAH TRIP
We did come home. . . again. . . after a great trip to Utah! The last week has been filled with trying to find things again, put stuff up, do laundry and just decompress from a month on the road. It is always extremely exciting to take a trip, yet it is always good to be home!
Here are some of the details from this year;
DAYS ON THE ROAD TOTAL: 30
DAYS IN BRYCE CANYON NP: 3
DAYS IN SPRINGDALE, UT: 15
DAYS IN MOAB, UT: 8
NUMBER OF DAYS PHOTOGRAPHING: 19
SUSAN 4X10 FILM: 102
SUSAN 8X20 FILM: 5
JB 8X10 FILM: 65
JB 11X14 FILM: 17
JB 16X20 FILM: 4
TOTAL MILES DRIVEN: 3,791
It will take us some time to get the film processed, sorted, filed and proofed. Then we will begin to sort through what we have and the process of printing will begin. We invite everyone to follow us on our Web Site, our BLOG and FaceBook. Also, we have gathered the entire ‘FROM THE ROAD’ 2016-2017 email collection into a PDF for those that were not on the mailing list. You can view the entire trip mailing in PDF format here;

We would like to thank everyone on our mailing list for sticking with us on this trip. It has been fun doing the ‘From the Road 2016-2017’ updates and we hope everyone enjoyed riding along with us.

THANK YOU, EVERYONE!

We spent the greater part of last December traveling in Southern Utah. We visited Bryce Canyon NP, then traveled to Zion NP and the area surrounding Springdale. Next we ventured to Moab, where we visited Arches NP and Canyonlands NP. Hope everyone enjoyed our random From The Road emails and thanks for traveling along with us! We will put up a travel album on our web site as soon as we get a little time.

Don’t forget the selfie! That seems to be the latest fad and though irritating at times, the preverbal ‘selfie’ has its appeal. We are no different, I guess. We did make a few obligatory selfies on our last trip. Saw a few people with those selfie sticks. . . some were pointed out car windows or an open moon roof while driving. Really wonder what kind of images they got? Having said all that, and not to be out done, we include a few here for your viewing pleasure. . .
Needless to say, we have quite a bit of film to process and that will take at least another month before we begin to see what we brought back. In a world of instant gratification (keep that selfie stick out of my face!), there are those that can’t understand how anyone could be that patient. This is one of the greatest attributes of LF and ULF film photography. It teaches you patience. You take your time when finding a subject. You spend even more time composing the image. Making that exposure is a one time thing. You make sure. . . then you make doubly sure, before you expose that one sheet of film. You know that you will not even get an inkling of what you captured for quite some time, so you give it your best and hope what you do pays off.
