Peter Lik the next Ansel Adams?

Antelope Canyon, Arizona – Angels Heart. Photo by Peter Lik

When you think of photographs from "The Great American Landscape" what comes to mind?  Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Galen Rowell? 
These are some of the greatest Landscape photographers of all time. Combined, there "Landscape" Photography of America is recognized by millions of people worldwide. 

Peter Lik lines up a shot.

Now if I told you have you ever heard of Peter Lik you might say something like "Oh he's that photographer guy on The Weather Channel." Peter today is considered to be the Adams of the 21 Century. As a landscape photographer myself I am inspired by his shots and the way he demonstrates being in the right place at the right time "Magic Hour" to capture amazing beauty. 

I never heard of Lik until watching him on The Weather Channel and I got to say I'm pretty impressed. 

His show "From the Edge" is featured on The Weather Channel on Thursdays at 8pm Central. If you can check it out! It is totally an amazing show. Lik is very talented in his work. This guy makes an astonishing 30-35 Million Dollars a year!!!

Take 5 minutes out of you day and watch the video (at the bottom of this post) all about Peter and check out some of his beautiful work on his website. http://www.peterlik.com
You will be astonished! 

"Ghost" Peter Lik's most famous shot. Located near the border between Utah and northern Arizona, the tranquil Antelope Canyon is named for the herds of wild pronghorn that roamed the area long ago. Water running through the sandstone over the past millennia has sculpted graceful passageways, where shafts of light occasionally shine down from “slots” above.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and I look forward to posting next week!
