Behind the Lens: My Reflections
Granada felt like exploring a grand outdoor amphitheater. I was captivated by how the sunlight filtered through pine canopies, illuminating rippling fairways. The meandering waterfall on the 18th created motion and texture in every shot. On the 17th, the expansive green and its surrounding bunkers presented endless opportunities for depth and perspective. The fresh air of the Ouachitas, framed by sweeping vistas, brought each photo to life—not just a round, but a journey through Arkansas’s natural beauty.
