this was taken during my recent trip to Utah. Utah is a place I never dreamed of going until recently. having a camera in my hand has opened my worldview in so many ways.

this photo encapsulates one of the things I love most about photography: it is a tool to a deeper level of curiosity within me as I explore a new place. while some focus on getting that one "big shot," I am much more inclined to look for the little details that may sometimes go overlooked.

this photo is also evidence as my own growth as a photographer. I have been challenging myself lately to be intentional in finding unique compositions and seeking out contrasting light in my shots.
