"False Kiva." The hike to False Kiva is strenuous. The trail, roughly marked with rock cairns, descends steeply. It cuts across the face of a canyon wall and then switches back up to a half-cave hollowed out by wind. The kiva is tucked under the lip of the soaring cave wall. We stayed until sunset to get the best light we could, then hiked back in the growing darkness, eventually relying on our flashlights to stay on the trail.

The Virgin River runs through and among the spectacular mountains and cliffs of Zion. (3rd, Travel Print, Jan 2012)

I must have taken two dozen pictures from this spot, capturing the changing light on the cliffs as the clouds moved overhead. (Merit, Digital Nature, March 2012)

We tried to take full advantage of the reflections of the red cliffs in the Virgin River. (Merit, Color Print, Jan 2012)

"Slot Canyon Abstract," taken in Antelope Slot Canyon, Page, AZ. (Honorable Mention, Color Print, March 2012; 2nd, Color Print, Best of N4C 2012)

This is a manipulated image. I duplicated the original image, rotated the duplicate by 180 degrees, and then merged the two images. The colors are not manipulated, however. The original photo was taken at Antelope Slot Canyon. (Merit, Digital Creative, Jan 2012)
