Phoenix Comancheros Banquet

Hello world! It has been far to long since my last post. I have to start off by saying that I am unfortunately dropping 365. It has become too much of a burden for me to keep up with these past few months. As well, it was too forceful of a way for me to work on my photography and I felt I was losing my creative edge due to that. Now, this is not to say that I won't still be posting new photos for everyone to view. It just means that I will enjoy the process more and thus produce better work.


Now onto this weeks exciting story and start to a new project. My wife's brother-in-law, Jason Keele and I are working towards getting a story published in AZ Highways. We are going to be documenting the 2011 Pony Express put on by the Phoenix JC Comancheros. The Comancheros are a charity group that supports the needs of less fortunate children. For more on them, check out their site http://www.officialponyexpress.org/.


The Pony Express ride will take two days, leaving from Cave Creek and ultimately ending up at the Prescott Rodeo. We will be riding along to document the journey in both writing and of course, photography. This past weekend we attended the banquet that is held before each ride and sets the stage for the journey to come. You couldn't have more personality in one room than that night. It was a great chance for us to meet many of the riders and get to know them better. At this point, we are super excited for the trip which takes place next week. Until then, please enjoy these photos.
