And so I think just the places that puts you, lets you really philosophize and think about whatever is piquing your curiosity right then.

Eastern Sierra Conservation Corps, 2025. People might not even notice we're here, but someday they're gonna remember us. There's a sense of kinship. I feel that way when I look at fishermen and people who work seasonal jobs. These unconventional places all have a very similar need. I think this is the intersection of what I needed for myself as trails and goddamn, I don't know where else I would be if it wasn't for this. Probably on a boat. I am gonna say one more thing.

My legs were totally bruised 'cause I would get the log like halfway up, prop it on my leg and then get it the rest of the way.

We hauled a table and mattress out into a field on a 105-degree day, set it up right beneath a low-hanging branch, and started building the scene. To get the shot, I climbed up the tree, wrapped my legs around the branch, and leaned out with one hand while shooting with the other. Just as I was about to get the photo, my legs started getting lit up by fire ants — but I hung on and kept shooting. One of the more uncomfortable setups I’ve pulled off, but it was worth it.” Photo by Steven Phipps https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f99aba1919ff1119631924/11484c07-c0af-4daa-9159-b75edbb9f962/SLP-Trails-5.JPG Stories - Photographer Spotlight: Steven Phipps - Make it stand out Johnny Springer, trail crew, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming (2024).

I spent three nights painting the backdrop from sunset to sunrise, which was a great time in itself. The concept — a boxing-inspired shoot — had been bouncing around in my head for months, so finally bringing it to life felt incredibly rewarding. On top of that, I got to hang out in the studio with some good friends, just goofing arond and making images for hours. There were some kinks along the way — like running out of paint, waiting for things to dry in freezing temps, and dealing with camera issues — but honestly, it still felt like one of those rare moments where you know things are just gonna work out.” Photo by Steven Phipps https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f99aba1919ff1119631924/d2cbaba0-603a-4c4d-a57d-5c1a32c7897a/SLP-Trails-6.JPG Stories - Photographer Spotlight: Steven Phipps - Make it stand out “Justin Leap, a crew leader at Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming (2024).

Kennedy. He was from the same small town as me, and I grew up picking blackberries off his fence when I was supposed to be at baseball practice. In April 2024, I went over to his house to take these portraits and listen to some of his stories. My mom, who was friends with him, came along. It was a really nice day. Sonny passed away about two weeks later, so I think these might be the last photos ever taken of him.” Photo by Steven Phipps https://www.trailcrewstories.com/stories/sign-study-navajo-national-monument monthly 0.5 2025-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f99aba1919ff1119631924/4745b61f-019a-4dd0-9537-b962fafd59e4/NAVA_240904_JoeGibson_1_edit.jpg Stories - Sign Study: Navajo National Monument - Make it stand out Entrance sign at Navajo National Monument. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f99aba1919ff1119631924/59c8c137-3298-4096-9c35-49b1ee6e665c/NAVA_240904_JoeGibson_2_edit.jpg Stories - Sign Study: Navajo National Monument - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f99aba1919ff1119631924/a976d0a4-121f-4d60-9809-edd9639f65f0/NAVA_240904_JoeGibson_5_edit.jpg Stories - Sign Study: Navajo National Monument - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62f99aba1919ff1119631924/f5d5e4e4-5d44-45b7-864d-1044cd22efd3/bandelier_entrance-sign-summer.jpg Stories - Sign Study: Navajo National Monument - Make it stand out Entrance sign at Bandelier National Monument.
