Antelope House Ruin Overlook
Along the theme of last month’s story, a return to Canyon de Chelly just this past June 22nd would required a refresher on the potential of the area. This image is of Antelope House Ruin was made from one of my two visits back in the 1990s. There is only one “public” access to the lower canyon, all other access requires a Navajo guide. So, this image was made from an overlook appropriately titled Antelope House Overlook. Strangely enough I don’t recall which visit or the specifics of a Story Behind, over the years the image has received very generous feedback on social media.
So, given the fact that I am in the middle of traveling the Southwest for a month I am linking a previous Story Behind Every Photograph below. Canyon de Chelly is home to White House Ruin seen below. Ansel Adams put Canyon de Chelly on the map with his iconic image made in 1942, and detailed in the following Story Behind. Linked below is the back-story contrasting 3 different visions and results, 2 made by photographic royalty by all accounts, the other seen below by yours truly. It is amazing to see essentially the same compositions with decidedly different light conditions change the entire dynamic of the end result. Check the back story out by clicking on the image below, or the Blue Link to a previous Story Behind Every Photograph.
