ATTICUS DESIGN
THE SLOT CANYONS MOUNTED ON ACRYLIC
IMAGE NUMBER 1192
Antelope Canyon is a “slot canyon” carved by wind and water from just outside the town of Page in Arizona, Antelope is the most visited slot canyon in the USA, and perhaps the world. Through a narrow slit in the cliffs, visitors enter one of the most beautiful of all natural formations. Pictures taken here adorn camera shops and photographic manuals throughout the world. Despite its tiny size Antelope Canyon receives up to 20,000 visitors each day. It took several visits and a deal of negotiation to set up for medium format on the tripod. However the result is a series of images which come to life when mounted on acrylic in a modern corporate or residential development.
