Maroon Bells

The Maroon Bells near Aspen Colorado are supposed to be one of the most photographed locations in all of North America. It's always been on my bucket list to shoot, and I'm glad I finally made it. It was worth the trip.

I'm fortunate to get to learn medicine for the summer in this beautiful place.

Monument Valley

The road through the valley takes you right under towering cliffs and stone monoliths

It's a harsh environment, the desert is dry and desolate, but people and other creatures do live there
