just noticed that joel has a photo of the waterfall in salome jug on the back cover of the february issue of arizona highways
nice capture of the waterfall at the rappel/jump spot
congrats, joel!

if it's not this shot, it's very similar:

@Joel Hazelton nice drive-by trash can bowling!

Except for cs50must's 4wd video, you have the most views of any HAZer videos I know about.

A few more than Tibber, and waaaaay more than Hikebot's how-to-use-haz instructional videos. ;)

Hey all, apologies in advance Admins - if this is improper use of forums / photoset / triplogs, please delete.

I'm really, really, really excited to have 17 metal prints of my best work hanging at the Arizona Highways gift shop gallery, located at their headquarters in Central Phoenix (2039 W. Lewis Ave). They just remodeled the gift shop, so this is a relatively new deal - there is now a gallery space where each month they feature a different one of their photographers for a solo show. In this case, my work will be hanging all of December / January, perfect for holiday gifts! Did I mention they're for sale? ;)

For those interested in an advanced peak, you can see what the show looks like and the photos I have hanging here: https://hikearizona.com/photoset.php?ID=42973

In place of typical caption cards (boooring) I put together a photobook that's on display next to the prints, which gives a thorough description and story/adventure behind each image (if there is one worthy of sharing for that particular photo). I'm not a great writer, but I feel my work is very location/adventure inspired as opposed to a pretty picture, so I felt inclined to share.

Anyhow, I really hope some people can stop by; it is a huge honor and privilege to have any of my work associated with Arizona Highways, much less have a show at their headquarters, so I really hope others may consider it worth a visit. And if you have some extra cash laying around, you can always buy a print and support both me and Arizona Highways ;)

The tricky logistics part: Gift shop is only open Mon-Fri 9am-4pm. I know this presents an issue for most, but hopefully some folks can still stop by.

Thanks for reading!

congrats, joel! that's awesome
will check it out

@trekkin_gecko
Awesome, thanks!

Just got my January 2018 issue of Arizona Highways.

After a year of illustrations, photography returns to the cover, and I can't think of a more worthy photographer to be featured.

Congratulations on the front cover shot @JoelHazelton! You rock!

@chumley

Christmas, I just flipped through the magazine and there's like 8 other photos in there too including two full-page spreads!

hmm...might have to pick this one up
and resubscribe

I noticed that, too. Very nice!

Thanks all! It's a pretty cool feeling to have the cover.

just discovered that joel also has the [ photo ] for august in the 2018 az highways calendar

@trekkin_gecko
Wow - consider that photo a memorial to the Ash Creek we used to know and love!

@trekkin_gecko
Thank you! It's actually this one: [ photo ]

@JoelHazelton
Of course. It needed some foreground wizardry!

While I occasionally try to limit the number of boring photos I take, I'm comfortable knowing that wizardry will never be in my repertoire.

another stellar contribution by joel in the march issue of Arizona highways
a multi-page I-17 portfolio, a shot of massacre falls and a waterfall off barnhardt
my favorites are shots from apache maid mountain and the one of ocotillo above the agua fria river
very nice, joel!

I picked up that issue the day it came out - very impressive.
