A lone figure passes under the deeply etched, richly colored sandstone walls that rise on both sides of the Virgin River. The figure gives this landscape its focal point and a sense of scale. I conceived the idea first, and structured my image within the frame long before this man appeared. I used a new camera, a Leica D-Lux 2, to make this photo. It offers a 28mm focal length in a 16:9 aspect ratio, similar in frame shape to the screen of a high definition TV set. This proportion was ideally suited to my idea. I wanted an image based on two triangles, meeting along a diagonal line through the middle of the frame. I stood behind the slope of a hill, which I used to fill half the frame. It begins at the upper left hand corner of the fame, and leads down to a paved trail that comes into the image from behind the hill, and leaves the frame at the lower right hand corner. The hill and trail gave me one of my triangles. The other triangle fills the upper right side of the image. It is dominated by the vast, richly colored, deeply carved sandstone cliffs, and fronted by backlit cottonwood trees along the Virgin River. All I needed was a human figure to enter my frame, and when this man did, I caught him just as he was turning to admire the view.
