Portrait photo of John Freeman, a VAST photographer creating extremely high resolution photographs
John Freeman

When I am in iconic locations like the North Rim of the Grand Canyon I always try to find locations to photograph that the general public can not get access to. At the North Rim there are only about 5 or 6 overlooks that have paved roads and are readily accessible to most visitors. However, to the west of the Bright Angel Point dozens of 4x4 trails cis-cross the Kaibab National forest, many providing lessor known but never the less, beautiful views of the canyon.

The receptionist at the Jacobs Lake RV park where we were camped clued me in on this location. I had gone to the registration desk looking for a map of the 4×4 back country trails that would lead us to various overlooks along the North Rim. I mentioned that I was a photographer and that I was looking for locations I had not photographed before. She said she thought that Crazy Jug Point was one of the most scenic of all the locations along the entire north rim. That was all the inspiration I needed to decide that the 32 some miles, one way, of back country 4×4 travel would be worth it.

The next day we took our Jeep to the point and it did not disappoint. As we walked the short 50 yard path from the parking area out to the main view point, the view was breathtaking. Pinion Pines framed both sides of the view and two of the famous Century Plants seemed to point at the canyon view.

Crazy Jug Point is west of the developed North Rim area in the Kaibab National Forest. A high clearance 4x4 SUV or truck, is required. Reaching this free dispersed camping area is certainly not for the faint of heart! The narrow, rugged roads should only be attempted by experienced drivers.

I shot this at 200mm focal length. The short distances to the nearby objects at the overlook required me to shoot almost all individual shots, other that some in the middle of the top row of the images, using focus bracketing There are 1714 individual, mostly focus bracketed images yielding 120 images, 5 rows x 24 columns, used to stitch together this shot.

VAST Print™

A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:

  • Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
  • Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.

*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
