In the waning days of covid lockdowns, I drove out west for work. Afterwards, I connected with my sister and we headed to Sequoia National Park for a little exploration and visit with the famous General Sherman. It turned out to be a perspective-changing experience, as we arrived right at open and had the entire park to ourselves for hours! Standing alone among the worldās largest living creatives was an experience I will never forget and this image is one of the favorites Iāve ever made.
Lately Iāve been spending a bunch of time printing photos at the studio, so I was excited to release another limited edition on my ongoing series dubbed The Camera You Have. This image looks great printed and can be yours for free if you win my giveaway or if you simply purchase one via my online print shop. Itās a perfect time to get your holiday shopping started!

Self Promotion Clayton is back to let you know about another fun side project I kicked off last year. Art prints! Among my recent efforts to become more thoughtful about my artistic endeavors, Iāve been doing a limited run of really high quality mounted prints made from photos Iāve enjoyed over the years. The general concept of the series is to offer wall-hanging worthy works at affordable prices sourced from spontaneous photos Iāve made over the years, sometimes with my pocket Ricoh camera, sometimes with an iPhone, thus the camera you have.
This image was made in Phoenix at the Desert Botanical Garden at the very tail end of a trip to Arizona with my sister. The place is beautiful and, while I love desert landscapes generally, Phoenix is not one of my favorite places despite a few redeeming qualities such as the existence of this beautiful place. That said, considering I am a lifelong Chicagoan, itās highly likely I will one day call Phoenix home since it serves as the unofficial retiring place of most Chicagoans. Until then, itās just desert.
