This interpretation of an image of carved stone happens to bear the special category of being the very first medium format slide of Utah I scanned to make a print of. The kind of film I was using back then had a quirky habit of becoming over saturated in blue casts, and this image was a meaningful part of my learning experience with using photoshop to do justice to one's vision of a desired image.

This image was also the starting point for a wonderful relationship I have had with a small area of carved stone in lower Gravel Canyon. I have managed to visit this small area of carved stone usually in both the Spring and Fall of every year for the past 12 years. I find it to be a touchstone for my years of experience photographing carved sandstone - a wonderful and long-standing relationship with a place.
