About
the Exhibit:
In December 2001, while researching my book
Photographing the Southwest, I presented a showcase entitled
"Hoodoos & Other Fantastic Stone Creatures". Well here
are more interesting stone creatures I visited or revisited
since then. I hope you'll have fun with these exotic-looking
hoodoos and strange rocks. Enjoy.
I'm the author of Land of the
Canyons and Photographing the Southwest, a Photographer's
Guide to the natural landmarks of the
Southwest.
