When you see striking shadows, shapes, and light begging you to take a photo. I think this may have just been a tree on the side of the street near the apartment block that I live in. It was the middle of the day. The […]

Feeling a little dramatic
There’s a short timeframe where natural light is actually able to enter my home. More specifically, the living room. And in that short time frame, there are some wicked shadows thrown in the room. And I love it. The only downside? The lack of natural […]

In the shadows
Wanted to share another occasion where the photo I had in mind mind didn’t exactly happen. And I’m not exactly pleased with this shot, but there are elements of it I don’t hate. I wanted to emphasize the light streaming through the tree branches more. […]

A stone’s throw away
Waiting for the day when I’ll stop being amazed that these sort of views and sights are just a stone’s throw away. That’s downtown Phoenix in this image, taken from South Mountain. The wonderful thing about South Mountain is how accessible this view from it […]
