#tbt to the most badass private guide, Rick with @excursionsofescalante this canon was not yet photographed and it felt phenomenally special to be the first photographer to document it. The light changed quickly in the canons, and here I laid in the mud to capture this glow like non-other. The 1-on-1 experience in those narrow slot canons is something I will carry in my heart forever. Rick kept me on my toes continually testing my directional skills and giving guidance for best practices as a solo lady traveler. Thanks Rick for an amazing time and for sharing your wisdom. I still think of you and Amie and I hope to one day make it back! 📸circa 2010 . . . . . . . . . #escalante #UT #outdoorwomen #keepitwild #sheexplores #celebratewild #wearethewild #shuttergoesclick #SGCphotography #SGCtravels #naturallightphotographer #ForceOfNature #ncphotographer #chasinglight #slotcanyon #womenwhoexplore #hikingadventures #getoutstayout #outsideisfree #nofilter #exploretocreate #maineoutdoors #wildandfree #greettheoutdoors #canyoneering #southernUT #lifeelevated #solotravels (at Escalante, Utah)
