Arizona Spring 2014

In my travels a rarely go with out a camera, much to the dismay of anyone traveling with me, photographers tend to stop walking a lot.  These images were taken in April 2014 and I am just getting started editing them right now.  I traveled to Sedona before ending in Globe at my Great Grandmothers 100th birthday.  These images were shot in Jerome, Az an old mining town where may of the building still stand.

Jerome was a quant little town but like many old mining towns, has become a little touristy and a favorite of motorcyclists.  The nice thing about Jerome though is that many of the original building still stand in a state of disrepair, which offers some great photographic opportunities.

HDR Expirement

HDR Photography is a technique that fascinates me and infuriates me.  I believe overall i need more practice with it but so far nothing I have done feels stunning.  This set was no different.  My favorites are probably the arches and the fountain, but still for me they are left wanting.  I do like the range of light to dark detail you can achieve, and i even enjoy the distortions that can happen creating the more dreamlike landscapes, but for me the images are just not strong enough.
