May have unintentionally and subconciously recreated this image taken in Boston here. There are some similar elements, but the perspective and angle on this image is much less dramatic than the one taken of a similar feeling skyline in Boston. I actually remember taking this […]

Westward, Ho
An icon on downtown Phoenix’s skyline, the Westward Ho was initially a hotel when it opened back in 1928. It held the title as the tallest building in Phoenix for over 30 years. Now it’s a subsidized housing complex. And apparently haunted. There are few […]
My city, Phoenix
With the Phoenix Suns playing in the NBA Finals this week. And me having turned into a Suns fan, I thought it would be appropriate to theme this week’s photos around my current home—Phoenix. I never imagined myself living in a city. Always thought I […]
At the crossroads
Last week, I accidentally fell into a theme with the images I posted. Maybe it wasn’t an accident—maybe it was my subconcious’ way of selecting images I wanted to share. Taking a bit more control this week, and selecting a theme. Starting off easy, with […]

My obsession with the saguaro
They’re everywhere. I’m not exaggerating. Maybe just a little bit. It’s hard not to point out every single saguaro cactus you see, if you’ve never been to Arizona and you visit for the first time. Though, over a year living here, and I’m still obsessed. […]
