A Moment of Authenticity Right Out of Star Wars

A moment of authenticity is when your soul is tired and you don’t care anymore what they might do to you.

Ieshia Evans wanted “to look her son in the eye to tell him she fought for his freedom and rights.”

She wasn’t going to move. “You’re going to have to come and get me.”

I support law enforcement people who do their jobs the right way; I am deeply inspired by everyday people who find the courage to stand alone.

Mesa Arch

Mesa Arch is located about an hour from Moab, Utah in the Island in the Sky region of Canyonlands National Park. If you want to capture this image, you should arrive at least an hour before sunrise as you will probably be joined by many photographers. I left Moab at 4:00 am, arrived at the access trail at 5:00 am for a 6:15 am sunrise and there were already a dozen or so photographers lined up in front of the arch. I was lucky to get the last prime spot. The rising sun lights up the underside of the arch.
