I made this image in late July, 1977 with my Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic F with the SMC Takumar 1:1.4/50 lens by Asahi Optical Co. Japan. We were driving home to Denver, Colorado from Lake Powell when we stopped there at Hole N”The Rock. I was fascinated by all this and had to take a picture of the place. I was riding in a Dodge van that had a fancy orange and gold paint job pulling a boat with an inboard engine that could sleep five. It was an actual photography workshop adventure that I paid to go on. Bill Evans, a professional photographer from Denver who owned and drove the van and boat took four of us on a seven-day trip to Lake Powell. Bill liked taking pictures of flowers. He said they sold well. All my pictures from that trip were shot on Kodachrome 64 with this particular image made from a scanned 4X5 internegative. I recently had a new print made by Roberts Camera Photo Lab in Indianapolis from that original 49-year-old internegative and it looks fantastic. This is one of the many reasons that I love photography. Art and memories.
