A better bio about us is coming soon.

For now, so the site isn't confusing, the "I" throughout the site is Chad, and the "we" is usually my son Sean and me. Sometimes, "we" is my wife Melissa and me.

My first experience with rock art was when I was five or six, and my father took me to Grand Gulch for a few days. While I don't remember the glyphs, I remember being intrigued with the Native American sites and art (mostly sites). Over the last couple of decades, my wife, Melissa, and I have gone on several road trips to visit Native American sites like Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, and others.

A few years ago, Sean and I became interested in astrophotography. We enjoy taking photos of eclipses, meteor showers, the aurora, etc. We ran across some rock art on one of those outings and took a few photos. I was immediately hooked on rock art photography. I've become a bit obsessed with finding and photographing Utah's rock art and understanding it. I drag Sean along these excursions, though he's never gone unwillingly. I'm pretty sure he enjoys the outings too.

Sean and I have made several pilgrimages to search for and photograph rock art. Currently, Nine Mile Canyon is our destination of choice. Mostly because we've been there a couple of times, once for multiple days, and have only scratched the surface. However, there are many areas we want to visit.

When Melissa and I are going on a road trip, I'll dig through the books I have and spend time on the internet researching what art might be found in the area of our destination and, occasionally, on the drive there (Melissa disagrees. She thinks anytime we go anywhere it's all about photographing art for me).

Melissa takes a lot of photos but isn't into all the heavy gear. She uses her phone and usually takes more interesting photos than Sean or me.
