  • Meet Harry<br /> <br /> While visiting the Grand Canyon, we had the pleasure of meeting Harry. He has spent his life as a rancher, or as I prefer, a cowboy, working the ranches of the Southwest. The ranch he had worked at for the past 12 years had closed due to the economy and he now works at Grand Canyon Village.<br /> <br /> After chatting with Harry a while, I asked if he'd mind if I took his picture. He seemed surprised that anyone would want to do that, but said "Well sure, if you want to." I think this image captures the character of this man, and reflects the ruggedness of the geography and profession in which he has spent his life.<br /> <br /> We saw Harry again a few times during our visit, and he always gave us a warm smile and a friendly wave. Meeting Harry was one of the many highpoints of our trip.
  • Hoover Dam celebrated it's 75th anniversary in 2010. <br /> 1/11/2011<br /> <br /> I was drawn to the art-deco facades, statues etc. that adorned the top of the dam. I made another version of this image in B&W that seems more appropriate to the era when the dam was built, and that's posted here: <a href="http://www.edspadoni.com/Photography/The-Great-American-Southwest/15384211_vL5AB#1152858674_cYDBT-M-LB">http://www.edspadoni.com/Photography/The-Great-American-Southwest/15384211_vL5AB#1152858674_cYDBT-M-LB</a><br /> <br /> Not sure which is better. What do you think?<br /> <br /> Hoover Dam, once known as Boulder Dam, is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the US states of Arizona and Nevada. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression, and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. Wikipedia
