Reflecting on his years after leaving a lucrative but unsatisfying career to become a full-time creative photographer, writer, and wilderness explorer, Guy Tal shares with readers some of the experiences and lessons that marked his journey. Building on the success of his earlier book, More Than a Rock (now out in a second edition), Guy offers readers yet deeper insights into his life as an independent artist, his thoughts about photography as a form of art and as a means to a richer and more rewarding life, and his intimate relationship with nature and with his beloved desert—The Colorado Plateau.

“Many times since beginning my journey as a creative artist and outdoor explorer,” Tal writes, “especially in the evening hours of satisfying days, the thought naturally emerged in my mind: another day not wasted.”

The book is not intended as a guide to either photography or any particular place. It is decidedly non-technical and focuses on Tal’s philosophy, experiences, and the pursuit of photography as a form of creative and self-expressive art. The book contains 36 essays of varying lengths and is illustrated with Tal’s inspiring and breathtaking photography.
