Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land near Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon or The Crack; and Lower Antelope Canyon or The Corkscrew.

The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tse’ bighanilini, which means “the place where water runs through rocks.” Lower Antelope Canyon is Hasdestwazi, or “spiral rock arches.” Both are located within the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation.

    You have a lovely eye for how best to use light to capture the essence and texture of the subjects of your images. This image feels so gentle and calming, but primitive and secretive. Truely a pleasure to view

    Brendan…obviously you don’t know what an amateur photographer looks like! It’s me! I’m not a qualified judge, technically, of photography. I just know if I like and admire what I’m looking at. In my humble opinion…you have passed the stage of amateur status. Your photos are beautiful and inspiring and to be very proud of.

    You have some spectacularly wonderful images young man!! You have been to quite a few places. And you have a good eye.
    I especially like this one because my son just moved to Chinle, AZ which is near Page on the Navajo reservation and has sent me some beautiful photos of the area. I get to see where he lives next month and hope to return with some nice images myself. . .
