I'd do the drive through at Petrified Forest - we hit it last fall mostly just because I handn't before -, start at the north end then out the south end of Petrified Forest. The north end is more colorful desertish erosion features with some petrified rock bits, the south end is a lot of petrified rock. It's kind of interesting but not sure you have the time or time of day for great photos. - but there isn't much else out there east of Flagstaff until you are in the forest area around Flagstaff. The meteor crater but that's kind of expensive and interesting for what it is but not all that photogenic and you can see it from the highway. Again, it's not really on your route, go north from Flagstaff, then east along the south rim. A variety of overlooks, points, Desert Watch Tower, etc. Kind of depends on how much time you want to spend there, too. West of Williams isn't real exciting on I-40 but faster than old Route 66. that has some nostalgia if you pass through the towns and even 66 has some business routes through town, highway bypassing the towns. Joshua Tree is south of I-40. I guess I'd go in from 29 Pallms and drive the main road, checking things out as you go. If you see something interesting, stop and wander some.
