Newspaper rock is a giant panel covered in hundreds of petroglyphs left by Fremont, Anasazi and Navajo cultures over the last 1000 years.
After scanning the petroglyphs with my Canon 70 – 200mm lens for about ten minutes, until I came over this group of small footprints, and tried to work a composition around them moving up from one end of the frame to another.
In our forefathers footsteps | Newspaper Rock
Newspaper rock is littered with petroglyphs, it has to have one of the greatest concentrations of rock art in the Southwest. Horses, anthromorphs, humans, horned creatures, wheels, hunters and various squiggles are overlaid on around and next to each other.
Puebloan rock art fascinates me, but the most difficult aspect of it for photography, is which elements to compose around, especially at Newspaper rock, where there’s so many elements.
