ShopAbout the company
We named our photo business, Silver2Silicon, to describe our journey from traditional, silver halide-based photography to digital capture. Along the way, we've owned more cameras than we can count, spent more hours in the darkroom than we can remember and now rely on a mouse instead of print dodging tools and an enlarger. The change in technology has been nothing short of revolutionary, but the view through the viewfinder remains nearly the same. We hope you enjoy the collection!

Silver2Silicon - About Us
We named our photo business, Silver2Silicon, to describe our journey from traditional, silver halide-based photography to digital capture (i.e. - using a silicon wafer). Along the way, we've owned more cameras than we can count, spent more hours in the darkroom than we can remember and now rely on a mouse instead of our print dodging tools and an enlarger. The change in technology has been nothing short of revolutionary, but the view through the viewfinder remains nearly the same.
Photographing in Antelope Canyon
Without question, the slot canyons located on the Navajo Nation outside of Page, AZ are one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited. These slot canyons are all part of the same drainage system, eventually spilling into the Colorado River and Lake Powell. Over countless millennia, water and sand carried by flash floods has scoured the soft sandstone, which smoothed the rock and created flowing, waving shapes. At certain times of the day and with favorable weather, the overhead Sun shines through the slot openings and illuminates the interior, highlighting the rocks in a blaze of color.
Travelogue: Planning a 2-Day Photo Trip to Death Valley
Over the last 17 years, I’ve visited the Death Valley National Park more than a dozen times and taken well over 10,000 photos. My short, 2-day trips would coincide with the end of a business trip to Las Vegas – usually in April & timed nicely with the spring wildflower season. Since the compressed schedule limited my time in the park, I’ve been able to fine-tune a schedule that works pretty well for me – and maybe for you too.
Hiking Golden Canyon to Manly Beacon
There is literally a ‘golden hour’ in Golden Canyon, a time when the first hints of color can be seen in the rocks and before the sun gets too high overhead and the area is awash in an ‘atomic level’ blast of sunshine. During this hour, the canyon is a wonderous sight, full of subtle details and shadows. There really isn’t a bad photograph you can take.
