Published on December 13, 2007

Some artists who've been touched by the Universe have the ability to make a lovely place look lovelier than it is.

Another Arizonan with that special knack is photographer David Muench, who roams the state (and others in the mountain West) seeking out patches of landscape to transform into optic myth. Boiled down, dude's good. He'll be at Changing Hands signing his new collection, Arizona: Cherish the Land, Walk in Beauty.
