Dusty Monument Valley

When we were at Monument Valley, we had a lot of trouble taking photos. The dust from the high winds was incredible. It would be everywhere, eyes, nose, mouth, ears… Became very annoying after a while. This photo is taken approximately half way around the 7 mile off round drive, which I recommend you all do.

On the flip side, the photos came out pretty unique. Everything had a redish hue to it and I feel adds to the strange atmosphere that is Monument Valley. I love how the clouds almost form their own butte formation, similar to the ‘mitten’ here.

About

My name is Tony Eckersley, and I am a photographer

Whether it is going to the Woolly Mammoth Theatre or the Spooky Movie Film Festival, I immerse myself in the countless outputs artists use to express themselves. As a result, my inspirations include, among other things, Strobist’s blog and Robert McKee’s Story. As an artist, capturing the uniqueness of our world—the landscapes, cityscapes, cultures, feelings and overall stories—helps me fight the inscrutability that surrounds us. I hope others find a similar release by viewing my work.

I was born and raised in the United Kingdom. I moved to the east coast of the United States of America in 2005, which only fueled my passion to travel. The people I have met and the places I have seen, altogether, have shaped my need to photograph. That being said, I believe my need to photograph is no different than the people’s need to see photography; and that is to experience their relationship with the world through an artistic medium.

Capturing social documentary through photography, I hope viewers look deeper into the surface of their screens for a story about life today and how we might admire, change, and appreciate it more. For this reason, I look forward to the future, hoping to expand my work nationally through publications and galleries. Thus, I am always adding to ongoing projects and hope you will return to my site soon again
