Lensblr is a community of original Photographers on Tumblr.

At 9105 feet, Bryce Point is the highest point in the park. It is paved, and thus popular with tour buses and vacationing French families clogging the sidewalks and parking lot. I walked up the road, away from the cage at the end of the point and made my way to the dirt path beyond. There, I set up my tripod and sat over the amphitheater. From behind me, I heard someone say, referring to my 4x5 camera: “Wow, I haven’t seen one of those in years.” When I turned around, I saw that it came not from an aged, film lover, but from a young man in khaki shorts and a t-shirt. He was muscular, baby faced, and wore the mark of a grunt—the “high and tight” haircut I so hated (and resisted) while in the Army. The young man told me that he was in the Marine Corps, that he had served two tours to Afghanistan, and that he soon looked forward to getting out. In the meantime, he and his girlfriend were enjoying the scenery and I could tell that it was therapy for him, as it was for me, the natural landscape a calming and curious necessity.
