Lower Antelope Canyon near Page Arizona is an unworldly slot canyon. Photography is difficult because of the crowds and the prohibition against tripods.

Update: We will start at 1600 and this year I am being joined by Nicole Welch, a great photographer and sponsor. You can view her website at yardlineportraits.com. Attention Second Class Midshipmen Parents:

We will be taking free Ring Dance photos again this year, but I cannot commit to starting before 1700 because of another commitment. We will be there as early as 1600 if possible. We will set up in front of Bancroft Hall and I will have signs indicating who I am and that the photos are free. If you send your mid for photos, please ask them to verify that they are with me as there has been some confusion in the past. Photos will be uploaded to https://1drv.ms/f/c/02c485310dcdc9dc/IgA4xS0R5BbORZkPQSuT2Mv6AQcY848y5Lt0FcNr04eJ8Ek?e=olcE85 in folders by time. It may take me a few days to get them posted as I have some other commitments immediately following Ring Dance.

Yardline Portraits provides an elevated portrait experience, capturing Naval Academy milestones with precision and intention.

The golden hour just before sunset is especially great for photography at the Naval Academy. More photo at throughbobslens.com.
