This is a photograph from over a decade ago. (More on how it ended up here today below.) A small group of us spent time photographing in Utah, often in remote places. One day we dropped into a canyon and followed this stream. As so often happens in these narrow, winding canyons, “one good turn led to another,” and we kept going as each bend revealed another interesting section. We finally stopped very close to this scene, made some final photographs, and headed back upstream.
There’s a bit of a personal mystery around this photograph. I “rediscovered” it in my archives recently, but in a location suggesting that I might have previously shared it. I wanted to make some revisions to the interpretation and share the updated version. However, when I went looking for the original online, I could not find it! Had I never posted it? Had I lost it? I’m not sure, so here it is, presented as a new post.
