Soon after the first tunnel we came to an old juniper friend who sits on top of a beehive-shaped rock formation (photo 25).
Matt & I headed out for a close encounter. We were both working rapidly, opening and closing tripod legs and setting up
for many different angles and compositions, exhilarated by the magic of Mukuntuweap. My connection to craft, however,
was considerably compromised by my personal joy of seeing my son being overcome by the beauty of place. From photo
25 through 38 I was using the 16-35mm and didn't notice that Manual Focus was selected. In my disconnected haste I
hadn't noticed that the little beep that tells me the lens found its target was not sounding. All of those shots were hit and
miss, and many from this phase have been totally discarded. When Matt & I were shooting in this area, we noticed many
faces in the rock. One in particular seemed to jump out. It was someone "born" the same year as Matt, and I've enhanced
(superimposed) his image into photo 28.
