After spending my Monday morning hiking and photographing in the Sedona area, I went for lunch at René Restaurant in Tlaquepaque. We had eaten there before and love the relaxed fine dining ambiance, even for an old longhaired hiker like me. Joshua introduced himself as my waiter, and after taking my order he noticed my Nikon D800 — you can guess the rest of my story, photography. He also has a D800, but rather getting the new D810, he now has the D750 and loves it, which appears to be the majority opinion of many professional photographers — yes, Joshua Esquivel is an excellent professional photographer.

I had not yet seen any of his work, but I could tell from our conversation that he knew photography and was good, so I handed my camera to him and ask if he would take my photograph figuring that when he becomes famous I could say Joshua took my picture back when. (Ok, he could have been more creative.)

It was a real pleasure meeting Joshua and now that we have crossed paths, may we stay connected in our journeys — peace, my friend.

No straight road in this world
Only a giant labyrinth
Of intersecting crossroads”

“Morning Meditation” In Black & White — Image by kenne
By trying to understand everything
in terms of memory,
the past, and words
we have, as it were,
had our noses in the guidebook
for more of our lives,
and have never look at the view.
— Alan W. Watts
. . . just look!
Red Rock Country Panorama (June 15, 2015) — Image by kenne
This panorama was taken at the base of Cathedral Rock looking east at incredible formations containing over 300 million years of geological history.
If you have the slightest addiction to photography, it’s easy to overdose in the Sedona/Oak Creek area of the Coconino National Forest — I did!
I just returned from several days in one of the most spiritual places on earth, a place I can contemplate nature and be in communication with other living things — try it, you will like and the force will help you learn to love it.
My actual prove,
Red is the color of earth —
So, what’s not to love!
