Shakespeare Arch (12S-413196-4151500, 18’x12’), Shakespeare Arch Trail, Kodachrome Basin State Park, UT
We got to Kodachrome Basin State Park, UT before sunrise and climbed to the top of the mesa that overlooks Shakespeare Arch (collapsed in May 2019), The Sentinel and The Grand Staircase-Escalante. The arch can be seen in shade in the lower center of photo. Shakespeare Arch was the only large natural arch found within the park.
Places That I Love
For the vast majority of my career, my own photography was an afterthought. Very soon after I started working professionally as a photojournalist, I became a full-time academic and for more than 40 years, my students came first. We traveled the world together, but my role was that of an editor and mentor, not a photographer. Rarely would I have time for my own work. Of course, that was of my choosing and it was a gift, not a burden.
Toward the end of my career, my teaching and advising focus shifted from undergraduate to graduate students, who were allowed to travel without a faculty escort. This allowed me time for some personal projects and assignments, and time to travel with family and friends, something I still do today.
This gallery has no thematic or geographic parameters, it’s just a grouping of photographs from places that I love, places that evoke special memories or moments that I enjoyed experiencing.
