Everywhere you look some young princess is in the making...from shoes to attitude.

simple pleasures

2009-03-01T00:54:00.000-08:00

A child will always look at life in a more simplistic way...something we all fail to do.

jess

2009-02-20T11:12:00.000-08:00

This is Jess. He has lived in Glendale, AZ for over 40 years. He enjoys construction at high elevations, just got a new bike, is not scared of rattlesnakes, and almost had to have his leg cut off due to an accident. He shared the motto of "live one day at a time."

house hunting

2009-02-20T11:08:00.000-08:00

Searching for the "perfect home" has got to be the hardest part of the buying process...especially with a ridiculous housing market..where everything is bank owned.

personality

2009-02-20T11:03:00.000-08:00

She is very curious...and has started to develop a very interesting little personality...and for some reason, she isn't camera shy!

'we're all gonna die'

2009-02-10T07:35:00.000-08:00

I stumbled upon the site of a photographer, Simon Hogsberg and found a recent project shot from a railroad bridge in London. Capturing the true emotions of individuals is the hardest part in photography, yet Simon flawlessly succeeded at this over the course of 20 days. Please view this project at http://www.simonhoegsberg.com/we_are_all_gonna_die/slider.html, and I am sure it will cause you to pay more attention to the common stranger and their true self...and that we all have one thing in common, 'we're all gonna die.'

Washington D.C.

2009-02-02T23:26:00.000-08:00

After a few miles of walking, frozen hands, and a hundred photos, I learned my lesson...stay in Phoenix.

out of africa

2009-02-02T23:22:00.000-08:00

This park had some amazing animals, providing a very unique experience...they allowed us to play with the snake...but not the tigers...go figure.

Tucson, AZ

2009-02-02T23:16:00.000-08:00

It is so amazing what you can find in and around Tucson, Arizona...

lake pleasant

2009-02-02T23:12:00.000-08:00

I had no idea a body of water this size even existed in Arizona...Kayde and her cousins enjoyed it.

Xmas always comes in a variety of decorations, activities, food, and friends..and this year was no different!

rainy days

2008-12-27T00:55:00.000-08:00

So I guess this is what Arizona gets in the winter instead of the snow...

baby doll...is it real?

2008-12-20T16:30:00.000-08:00

If only children realized what their parents were doing to them...

simple things in life

2008-12-16T07:17:00.000-08:00

With so much activity around the holidays, you still have to leave some time for the simple things in life...

learning the tricycle

2008-12-11T09:42:00.000-08:00

The days of learning how to ride a tricycle...

phoenix auto show

2008-12-02T11:07:00.000-08:00

Cars are definitely one of my favorite subjects to photograph...although this International Auto Show in Phoenix was not as good as the one I seen in Frankfurt, Germany last year...it still had some nice cars..and was less busy. However, the trick to photographing cars is to get a good shot around the people looking inside them...here are two of my favorites.

whaley family

2008-11-29T09:39:00.000-08:00

I just did a photo shoot for a very nice family, the Whaley's...although it did rain a bit...the spot was perfect for an Arizona backdrop!

turkey day!

2008-11-29T09:33:00.000-08:00

My favorite holiday...with so much to eat, it's impossible to set a limit! It was a very long day, but very entertaining.

2008-11-25T08:49:00.000-08:00

unlocking a future

2008-11-18T07:00:00.000-08:00

Well, this is a first for the new blog...my plan is to keep this blog updated with my highlighted capture of the week. Feel free to make comments, and of course please follow it...but don't expect too much writing..I tend for a majority of the speaking to be with the photos.
