In 1937, Adams, O'Keeffe, and friends organized a month-long camping trip in Arizona, with Orville Cox, the head wrangler at [[Ghost Ranch]], as their guide. Both artists created new work during this trip. Adams made a candid portrait of O'Keeffe with Cox on the rim of [[Canyon de Chelly]]. Adams once remarked, "Some of my best photographs have been made in and on the rim of [that] canyon."<ref name="Bohnacker 2013">{{cite magazine | last = Bohnacker | first = Siobhán | date = December 16, 2013 | title = Picture Desk: The Faraway | url = https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/picture-desk-the-faraway | magazine = The New Yorker | access-date = May 29, 2018 | archive-date = June 12, 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180612112948/https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/picture-desk-the-faraway | url-status = live }}</ref> Their works set in the desert Southwest are often published and exhibited together.<ref name="Bohnacker 2013" />

During the rest of the 1930s, Adams took on many commercial assignments to supplement the income from the struggling Best's Studio. He depended on such assignments financially until the 1970s. Some of his clients included Kodak, ''Fortune'' magazine, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, AT&T, and the American Trust Company.{{Sfn |Alinder|1996| p = 158}} He photographed [[Timothy L.
