"People talk about perfect timing, but I think everything is perfect in its moment; you just want to capture that." - Eddie Huang _ Perfect timing for a magical sunset over Monument Valley, on the border of Arizona & Utah. _ Aren't those colours stunning? 😻😍 Have you been to Monument Valley? _ I captured a video of my road trip using a @spivostick selfie stick which is now on travelwithbender.com (under "product reviews") or follow the link in my bio @travelwithbender _ While at Monument Valley I stayed at the The View Hotel. And my @tepwireless hotspot got a workout every day on this road trip.

Falling sand in world-famous Upper Antelope Canyon, near Page, Arizona. _ One of my favourite photographers @peterlik sold a shot from this location for a record $6.5 million making it the most expensive photo in the world. _ Last time I visited Antelope Canyon I took a regular tour but this time was on a photography tour which was far better. Less crowds, more time, and most importantly tripods allowed. _ While in Page, I stayed at @visitlakepowell along the gorgeous shores of Lake Powell. _ #photooftheday #vanguardpro

"A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work." - Colin Powell _ Sometimes when I tell people that I meet that I travel full-time they ask if I've won the lotto. _ Well, on Friday I did. _ The lottery for a permit to hike The Wave in Arizona. _ 54 people turned up in Kanab, Utah and only 10 permits were handed out. The 3+ mile hike out to The Wave is tough, over challenging terrain, especially when carrying cameras, lenses and tripods in a backpack. Even though it's the middle of winter with near freezing temperatures🌡️❄️, you can see how sweaty my back was. This trail is dangerous and hikers have died on it. _ Fortunately I returned to tell the tale. It was a dream come true. And the photos are out of this world. _ On this road trip I've used my @tepwireless hotspot for unlimited internet access (recommended). 🚗🌟

"There will always be rocks in the road ahead of us. They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how you use them." - Friedrich Nietzsche _ Sunset over Delicate Arch at Arches National Park, Utah. One of the most beautiful places in the world. _ Trying out my new @spivostick - the selfie stick for adventurers. It can shoot images and video in 2 directions by pressing a button. Very clever! _ Check out a full review on travelwithbender.com or follow the link in my bio @travelwithbender

"One of the most important principles of success is developing the habit of going the extra mile." - Napoleon Hill _ Sunrise over Horseshoe Bend, Arizona. _ I braved sub-freezing temperatures before the winter sun rose to capture this shot. Even with gloves, my fingers were freezing. But I think you'll agree the view was worth it. _ While in Page, Arizona I stayed at Lake Powell Resort @visitlakepowell Highly recommended year round. The views of Lake Powell are unparalleled and it has comfortable, clean rooms, pools, a restaurant, and shop within close proximity. Check them out.
