The people, landscape and lifestyle of the Navajo Nation are extraordinary. It was a thrill to spend our time taking in all the new sights and experiences. I couldn’t have asked for a more bemusing crowd with which to share the experience!

Random shots to remember specific stories and insights...

Documenting the trip was a pleasure, but (not having been dedicated to the task before) there were a few things I learned.  Here’s the top three:

Listen. Anytime someone remarks that something is different than what they expected… take a picture. You’ll want to be able to describe it again, and a photo will help a lot when trying to describe what’s foreign.

Pre-Plan Shots. I took lots of photos of our workshops. When photographed, workshops look boring. Planning ahead for an interesting shot was worth it.

Be Persistent. Although I tried to blend in, many of my candid shots have people looking at the camera. Take a ton of photos. And make sure you’ve got good shots from many angles before moving on.

Diversify your shots. Examples of a close up, middle, and long shot.
