Tres Rios

Hayfield Site

Hey everyone. Tonight is a quick update and post. I am currently working with my brother-in-law, Jason Keele, on a story for Arizona Wildlife Views magazine. The story, which Jason is writing, is covering the Tres Rios water reclamation plant and wetlands projects. The story has already been accepted and is in the editing phase and due to be printed sometime early next year. I have been making several trips to the Hayfield Site, above, as well as the site near Phoenix International Raceway to capture photos for the article. Our hopes are to have both Jason's article with my photos published. We'll see how it works out.

Scott Kelby's 4th Annual Photo Walk

I'm back!

Maybe not with too much of a flurry as I have fallen ill, but I have returned, and with some new photos to display.

October kicked off with Scott Kelby's annual photo walk (http://worldwidephotowalk.com/). The walk is a way to get photographers all around the world a chance to meet up and do what they love, that's taking pictures (just in case you are slightly medicated like me). This year was my first year taking part in one of the local walks. I was part of the 50 some odd photographers that descended upon old town Glendale. It's an area that I've been to for such things as the Glendale Glitters, restaurants, etc, but never just to photograph. It was fun, as I joined the group within a group, "Abstract Photographers." We weren't limited to but were to try and focus on abstract photography. With all of the old buildings, trashed areas, trains, etc, there was plenty available to our group.

I really had a blast and it was cool to meet some other photographers here in the valley. There's nothing like three or four photographers laying down around train tracks taking photos. Don't worry, we were responsible and had someone keeping an eye out for a train, I think. He/she might have been off taking a picture. Anyways, I'm really looking forward to next year's walk. Until then, enjoy this years collection.
