John E. Ridenour: My Father's Photos
I'm taking on a new side project...
During my last visit to Arizona my dad (John Ridenour) handed me a box filled with old 35mm slides. I spent the night editing down the body of work and will be uploading digital stills of his work. It's interesting to look at and edit your fathers work as a fellow photographer. He may not call himself a photographer, but I have known for a long while and after looking at the collection I am honored to have the chance to show this work.
Day 2: Antelope Canyon
Okay, okay... I know I said daily updates were on the way. Technically day two was two days ago, making this day four. The truth is that when I'm out on the road, editing time is at a premium. Life happens, new opportunities present themselves and I do my very best to get lost. With that said, I have traveled from Denver, through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the American southwest and on into Santa Fe, NM. It's surprising this is my first visit to this place. Especially considering its healthy market for photography, I'm saddened I've never been here. As I sit at my hotel desk editing photographs and sipping Dale's Pale Ale I realize these should have gone up days ago. This is the last time I will visit this part of the country before I graduate in the spring and there is a pressure to push past the long hours and get the shots I need. I will be heading to Taos, NM tomorrow and on into Denver before continuing on to Minnesota. It strikes me that in a few short weeks I will have traveled over 8,000 miles, yikes!
With all that said and you having moved on to another website, I will wrap this up. The following photographs and video (did I upload a video?) represents the second day of travel in this odyssey of fools.
Cheers and Happy Christmas,
