Oct 3-17. Making a list and checking it twice. I've been over-walking the area on google maps, finding features and measuring distances. Pretty neat to be able to switch from "terrain" to "satellite" for a close look. Desert is full of road tracks and abandoned roads and bridges. We'll see what kind of access they give me. I will get a long half-day in Canyon de Chelly and a day at Shiprock. There are a lot of dirt roads in the area just outside the park that navigate pretty interesting country.
Ordered 250 sheets of film from B&H. Taking my 5X7, a Hasselblad and a Fugi 6X9 with a 65mm on it. May not touch the roll cameras but I do have an idea that requires them if I shoot it. Katie going with me, so that will be nice.
Looking back through the past few years of negatives to see where I was and where I might be going visually.
The park service started cutting Russian Olive and invasive species and opening up the canyon last year. Some scenes that hadn't been visible since the 60s are open. Much more chopping and burning should have been done by now, unless the process broke down. Be interesting to see.
