Day 34: Photo Dump Theme: Monumental

It has certainly been a while since I've posted here but I have some time on my hands and figured I would show you all some pictures from the rest of our trip. Today its all about Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.


Tears In Freedom:


The Grand Terrace:
This image was inspired by one I saw in my History of Photography class. We were discussing the rise of the snapshot. A photographer took a picture of someone taking a picture of Mount Rushmore, as a kind of comment on the snapshot. I thought of this along similar lines.

Day 26 and Day 28: Photo Dump: Nothingness?

In both Bryce and Death Valley there seems to be nothing there. But in reality there is all kinds of plants and animals living in some of the harshest environments.

Submitted!

This will be the first of many posts summarizing and providing conclusion for our trip.

In previous posts I have talked about the Canon National Park Photo Contest. After further review I discovered that it really is a rights grab. Which means that they are looking for the rights to use my picture without giving me credit if they desire. I thought about it for a while and decided that I'm going to submit one or two of my pictures anyways, it will at least get noticed. Otherwise it will just sit in my flickr account page just being seen by the handful of people who have already commented. So here it is: Its called Up and Away and its from the Spanish Missions National Park in Texas.
