TBT: Las Vegas & The Grand Canyon, November 2012

Las Vegas
Neon lies, fabricated whimsy, suspended disbelief.

The Grand Canyon
What picture can show what shifts the soul? Old silence as deep as the ravines.

  2. I have to say…you are one talented photographer…these places seem to come to life in these photographs! The Grand Canyon looks stunning (I have set it as my wallpaper – if you don’t mind?) 😛

    Just curiously, did you travel the US in one trip? And you really should consider submitting your photographs (or should I say ‘works of art’) to a magazine! =)

    1. 🙂 I’m happy to be able to share that moment with you. The Grand Canyon is one of the few places I’ve visited where the silence is deep enough to hear yourself.
      We traveled to the US at the end of 2012 and tried to pack in as much as we could. It’s taken me far too long to process and post all the photos. There’ll be three more updates in the coming weeks.
