Ten Days rafting down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon

Re-entry. I am in re-entry mode after 10 days on the Colorado River rafting through the Grand Canyon. My son JP was the boatman, he was the youngest on the trip (41), I was the oldest (68).
This was my 70th trip it was his well over 350th someplace.

I made my first trip in 1972, and since then have worked as photographer or boatman. I love making photos there - but it is a daunting subject. So big. So beautiful. I love the light - the play of light from sunrise to sunset.

I love the challenge and the results

Enjoy

I will return to my usual subjects soon.

just got back from my honeymoon a few weeks ago..... coming in to vegas we flew over the grand canyon.....
i saw what i *thought* must have been the grand canyon.....
we were something like 30,000 feet up and it certainly looked like a big hole with a bunch of water in it...

but no.....
about 10 minutes later or so....

looking through the window i saw what could only be described as a GRAND Canyon....

and it's amazing to see from that high up... to see how many people actually live out there... in the middle of what looks like nowhere.....

this trip it was casinos and shows....
next trip it's red rock, grand, and hoover.....

and i can't wait to photograph it...

(haven't put any of my vegas photos on here yet, just myspace and facebook so far...)
