Monument Valley sits in the middle of the Navajo Nation along the border of the states of Arizona and Utah. It is famed as a favorite location for Hollywood movies with more than 200 films made there in the last 70 years including six with John Wayne. This book (Volume 1) contains more than 50 images of Monument valley all in color and is constructed to be as inexpensive as Amazon will allow so that the beauty of the place can be appreciated by as many viewers as possible. There will be more volumes forthcoming and it is hoped that those who purchase this volume will be prompted to purchase the next.The author began photography and photo-journalism in early 1963 when he accepted an offer from his local newspaper to write about and photograph sports events at the Arizona high school where he was a junior.After a stint in the service, he had an opportunity to study photography and printing techniques with Bernard Hoffman, a true gentleman and scholar, and one of the earliest staff photographers for Life Magazine. Since that time he had had thousands of photographs and hundreds of articles published by more than 60 national and international periodicals. He was also a contributing editor for one of them for more than ten years. Topics ran the gamut from professional sports, medicine, archeology, and photography to science. In addition, the author is represented by more than a dozen agencies and all of these images have appeared in publications around the world.After twenty years away from Arizona he returned in 1985 and it has been the base from which all his photographic excursions are launched. Along with many others he has embraced digital photography but can still be seen, from time to time, peering through the ground glass of a large format camera or hoisting a large medium format 6x7.The photographer currently has fine art photography on exhibit at The Center for Fine Arts in Globe, Arizona.
