This past Saturday I was able to go climbing with a couple good friends, one of which is going to South Korea with the Air Force for a year. We spent the day at Windy Point soaking up the sun and conquering the rocks! I was a like a kid in a candy store and was having too much fun climbing to do much in the way of photography. That being said; I couldn't talk about the incredible day without including at least one photo.
...the fact that you can buy a beautiful ring for a portfolio shot and take it back; now that is magic! How do you shoot an object the size of a nickle, on end, with a white background and no shadows? Also magic; or at least a good bit of practice. I did this shot for a possible job with a local Arizona jewelry distributor.
This past Saturday Second Mile; a local Tucson College ministry, partnered with the Tucson Refugee Ministry to put together a hike for a bunch of refugee kids. We went a little over a mile up Sabino Canyon and stopped by this beautiful pool of water. Although it was a little too cold for my swimming taste, that didn't stop the kids; or some of the brave volunteers!
On the way out we caught a few raindrops; but nothing to spoil the fun. I want to thank all those who helped put this together; and those that are so consistently faithful in serving the many refugees we have here in Tucson.
The idea for this photograph came to me late at night as I was lying in bed; as most inspiration does. The idea was to capture the transition from night to day into a single moment. This first photograph was more of an experiment to see how it would work out. Please let me know what you think about the concept
The perk to living in Tucson is that the weather this time of year is absolutely beautiful. What better way to spend an evening than looking over the city and enjoying the sunset.
