I feel honored and have a genuine sense of gratitude that my horizontal version of this shot has made the Arizona Highways 2014-2015 Photo Contest Finals.
With all the truly amazing work there by fabulous photographers, I was actually quite surprised. Like a lot of other people here I am sure, I grew up with this magazine always in our home. It was a favorite of my entire family. In fact I am very sure it had a real effect on me choosing a career of leading photography tours with a strong emphasis on the great SW and Arizona. I had never really thought about it until I found out I was in the running.
