Magical PlacesJoel Fletcher photography

This collection, Scenes From Magical Places, is a retrospective of my landscape photography from the early 1990s. Capturing images of the earth is an amazing art form, and hiking to remote areas to discover the perfect shot is highly rewarding. These photographs were taken with Nikon cameras on either Kodachrome or Velvia film. The locations include Bryce Canyon, Joshua Tree Park, Huntington Gardens, the Cataract Trail, the Devil's Punchbowl, Muir Woods, Vasquez Rocks, and Red Rock Canyon.
