In 1988, I was working for a television station in Phoenix. We were doing a series of broadcasts from around the state of Arizona and were about to go live from the El Tovar Lodge at the Grand Canyon.
Our weather anchor (the only other member of our group with a radio background) came up to me and said "Don Imus is outside." In those days, Imus wasn't nationally known. He was the morning DJ at WNBC radio in New York.
I went outside, introduced myself and admired his camera, tripod and gear. Imus told me he and his brother Fred (both born and raised in Arizona) spent a few weeks each year traveling the Four Corners region (Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico) taking pictures.
Not quite a decade later, they published this book.
Both brothers Imus are fine photographers and it would be just another coffee-table book of Southwest scenery...except Don wrote the captions. For those familiar with him only by his recent controversies, Imus was the original "shock jock", saying the unspeakable over the public airwaves since 1969.
How does that translate to captions for a book of photographs of the great American desert? Hysterically.
By the way, as a 25-year resident of Arizona, I can tell you he got Sedona absolutely right.

I think it was Ansel Adams that first got me to fall in love with the American Southwest. A friend who knew that, as well as how much I enjoyed listening to Don Imus on the radio, gave me a 1997 book of photography by the famous radio legend and his brother. It is beautiful. And Imus’ snarky comments made it even more fun to read. RIP Don and Fred Imus.
