The second day in fall.
A storm during fall color in Zion national park. The negative was made in 2005. This is an early work for my 8×10 camera. I got up at 4am where I camp outside of the park because I knew that by this time of year there will be load of photographers at the spot. So wherever you want to go or what ever you want to do, you would have to live with a lot of people. I like to work alone and quiet when I can. I set up in the dark under my head light well way before anyone came by. By a little over 5 am, there are more than 30 protographers line up on this field. 90% of people would consider to who which is there first by not walk over infront to where the camera is set at. However, to your surprise there will be some that think a little different or careless of what other people might think of their behaviour. They will just walk right infront or intend to set up infront of you which you are already set up long before. Please don’t do that. Please don’t let them do that to you as well.
There was a guy saw me even thought I was far away from a major spot. Soon he was walking to almost into my camera field of view, and not tend to stop walking. As he walked by he flated the grass and little plants by his foot steps. I had to say excuse me you are going in to my view!!! then he stoped and set his stuff up there!!! Wow!!! that was really amazed me of how one can be. However, we all mange to get our photos peacefuly. I knew what I want and I shot only what I want. After 2 photographs it was done for me. There they were still shooting also there were some people who just came, and try to get a shot. I often feel great to work then watch, as I packing up mu stuffs, other people of how do they preserve their ideas over this photographic opportunity. There are a lot to tell about each one who were there by doing that, and that interested me.
Ok anyway at almost every year during this time, I am more happy than ever. I feel of those holiday season. I feel of a great time, great memory. It is a time which I remember most of how happy we all can be.
Yesterday was the first day of fall, I was busy working and was so tired after work. I actually intended to do this yesterday. Well, here I am. Better to be late than never.
Eventhough, my new body of work is the other worlds way from this, but they are connected within me. I usually think back of what I had done during this moment of time in years before. It reminds me of great memories. Everything, and everyone are part of who I am today. Thank you to all.
p.s sorry for a bad scan, not much of space and time.
