This week I posted a separate thread with an animated GIF of a sunrise at Arches National Park created from stills I shot there. Here is what I was shooting: the Tower of Babel:

View attachment 2111540

This 300-foot-tall sandstone fin stands facing The Organ, a 700-foot-tall tower, across a flat space about 500 meters across. Just these two mammoth formations thrusting up out of the flat ground (unfortunately I feel that deprives this photo of scale).

My daughter and I got up before dawn to drive into the park and shoot as the sun rose.

Did I say there was no scale? This is The Organ, which faces the Tower of Babel across this flat plain. The Organ is 700 feet tall, more than twice as tall as the Tower of Babel.

As for scale, look really closely at the base of the tower. Do you see that tiny white speck? That’s my daughter. Look closely, she’s waving!

(This isn’t my best photo of The Organ; I took one right at sunrise. I just love seeing my teeny tiny daughter in this photo.)

I love talking to strangers on the street and making portraits. And this is one of my favorite street portraits. That's Ali. He's a newspaper vendor in San Francisco selling Chronicles on a busy corner in the city. I hit him up for a few minutes of conversation and then a portrait, which he enthusiastically obliged.
