Antelope Canyon, located in Navajo Territory in Page, Arizona, has been shaped by millions of years of erosion from flash floods and was named for the herds of pronghorn antelope that once roamed the area. It was discovered relatively recently in the early 1900’s and has become one of the most photographed destinations in the Southwest, in part due to pictures appearing as Windows 7 desktop wallpaper. Richard Block describes himself as an amateur photographer who loves the artistic designs, patterns, and colors found in nature. This first exhibition of his work showcases Richard’s photographic series of the Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons from his visit to the area in May 2022, sharing a surreal walk through a natural wonder that many will never see in person.
