Phoenix Municipal Court

I was on my way home from yet another meeting with my PreTrial Probation Officer when I took this photo. I don't like that I have to go pee in a cup still but I suppose I did earn it. Anyhow I really liked the shapes and forms in the area and so I walked up some stairs of a parking garage across the street from this building and took several photos which I will be posting here over the next little while.

Davin The Handful

Well you know how little kids can be when they get tired. I thought this would be a good picture today because my sister Heather is taking a police photography class and so tonight I was trying to show her how to use one of my cameras. Davin was still not in bed and as tired as he was getting he just plain didn't want to go to bed. He was so intent on taking a picture but he wouldn't let either of us help him. It really was quite priceless. We finally decided to put him to bed and at first he kept screaming that he wanted to be good so that we would let him stay up for a while longer. Then when he realized that wasn't going to work on us he was screaming how badly he wanted to take a picture. It was beautiful.

Red Square

So who says that phones take bad pictures? OK usually they do and to be honest this one has plenty of flaws, but hey what picture doesn't have flaws? Anyhow I was walking past this place one night and decided to take this. I like the structural elemtents present in the entry way here. Anyway i hope you enjoyed this little excursion.

Smith Tower

I really like this building. It is in downtown Seattle and when it was built it was the tallest building on the West Coast. I took this one day while working for my friend Hotte. He used to have a studio on Pioneer Square and this is just to the East of there. I miss that city so much.

My Thanks To Justin

I took this picture at Joshua Tree National Park. I was really just taking pictures there because some crazy drama went down and I needed to kill some time before a ride showed up to rescue me. Thank You, Justin. He is among the best people to know in the world. He might not like people very much but he sure is loyal to those whom he loves. I must say that Justin has done alot for me over the years, and I truly appreciate him for always being there.

Notes In The Sky

If I only knew how to read sheet music I am sure this would be the beginning of a beautiful melody. OK maybe that is a slight exaggeration. So when I took this I was wondering how safe it is that in order to gain the attention of passersby businesses put out strings of balloons. You might not be able to make it out exactly but these are wrapped around and intertwined with the power lines above them. Just wondering if anybody else notices the little things in life.

Take Another Look

This is one of my all-time favorite images. I have been asked several times how it was done and to me it was really quite simple, I used two negatives. What I find remarkable though is that on quite a few occasions the person I was showing it to failed to notice what they were looking at. It really shouldn't surprise me though, because people for the most part are blind to what is in front of their face. Which makes me think of a commercial I have seen that says 'People are smart.' However I beg to differ an individual is smart whereas people act like a herd animal. They just follow the people in front of them without heed to where they are going, just so long as they keep moving.
