The Navajo Nation has imposed more restrictions on travel, so it might be another six months before anyone can visit here the way Covid cases are going. I’m glad I’ve had opportunities to see many places on the reservation, including some not available to most. This is one of those photos that I think most people would show in color (with the saturation boosted as well), but the details are perfectly suited to black and white.

Incredible work, Steve. I’ve seen many frames taken here, all in colour, but your mono shot shows far better form without the distraction of colour. Absolutely beautiful! Best, Rob

Thank you, Rob. I think the color in many slot canyon photos can be overwhelming, and at times, distracting. The layers and depth are easier to follow here in b&w.

This is stunning, Steve. I so agree that black and white accentuates the beauty of the lines and shadows.

Thank you very much. So many shapes and patterns with soft light, it was easy to not want to get caught up in processing on this one.
