“Edge of the Painted Desert”
Views from the Flying Carpet Fine Art Print
Greg photographed “Edge of the Painted Desert” on a morning mission from Flagstaff to Albuquerque.
The mineral tints of Arizona’s famed Painted Desert are so far out chromatically that when people see Greg’s aerial photographs of the area, they often don’t believe the colors are real. What he loves about this particular photograph is that the adjacent landscape and vegetation serve as touchpoints to conventional reality. You know that stuff at upper left is real, so you can accept the radical colors of the Painted Desert as real.
Read Greg’s Flying Carpet column, “Game Plan,” describing this particular trip. (The story first appeared in AOPA Flight Training magazine, September, 2011.)
Like each of Greg’s “View from the Flying Carpet” images, this photograph was collaboratively tuned for print with Master Printer Richard Jackson, and each print, regardless of size or edition, is individually crafted under his supervision.
