a short story [mainly in photos] about two bordering states by the names of utah + arizona, miles clocked on the open road + my dog, indiana, who came along for the ride.
i was visiting with a young czech couple at a destination wedding i was shooting in sonoma a couple years ago. they made an entire holiday of their usa visit + planned a road trip though the states for a month. they had done thorough research, planned out routes + were beyond thrilled to explore the natural wonders of america. it made me think. with all the far off destinations abroad that we can chose from nowadays, is it possible that we are overlooking the goods that we have right here in the ole' us of a?
i was then inspired to plan a mini-route to visit northern arizona + utah over three days. a vacation with a slow pace, fresh air + all the valleys, deserts + rocks i could ever hope for.
enough with the words.
i have photos to share.
all shot on canon ae-1 program with 35mm fuji film.
more of my travel + personal work can be found on my blog
my trusty companion, indiana.
wonderful things i forgot about road trips: you rarely have to deal with crowds, you may stop wherever you’d like, you can take everything you can fit + car snacks
downsides [are minimal]: being stuck in a car, driving from place to place + sometimes the food options are slim [especially if you a picky eater like me]
