Image of the Month, December 2018: "Wild West"

December 04, 2018 in journal

Monument Valley is one of those places you never think you'll see in person. It's been featured on so many films and commercials that it seems to be almost fictional.

Turns out, this place is real, you can visit it and it feels exactly like you'd think the Old West should feel. And it's as beautiful and jaw dropping, if not more, than it looks in those movies.

I made this image from the main viewpoint, a couple hours before sunset. I used my Bronica SQ-Ai and Ilford HP5+.

You can watch the video of this day here: American Road Trip Journal #29: Monument Valley.
