You want to know the secret about old abandoned buildings? It is not the rustic, raw, gritty nature of them. Placing something beautiful, a person for instance, in something falling apart creates a very interesting dynamic. However, the real secret to these old abandoned places is the light. Open doors and windows with natural light bouncing in plus decaying structures is a win-win when it comes to photographing people.

For Maddie and her family, it was an 8 hour drive. Two of those hours were on a never-ending dirt road named Hole in the Rock Road. Maddie is my niece. Kids grow up so dang fast. We were on our annual spring family camping trip. This year we went out on the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. I promised Maddie a photo shoot several months ago. Our paths only cross occasionally and most of the time there is no time for photos. This time, we made time.

The location is specifically Dance Hall Rock. We were camped a coupled miles south of it. By the time we got to Dance Hall Rock, the sun had set, so we were working in twilight. It was fun.

Also of note on this shoot, my 50mm lens took a huge tumble and survived. It rolled out of my bag, down the sandstone about 10 feet and landed in a big crack in the rock. I thought for sure it was toast, but there isn’t even a scratch on it.
