ZOO

Sorry it's been so long! I've been super busy and wanted to get some new material, rather than posting things I shot months or years ago. This is from the zoo in town, which is actually quite small! I laughed when this bird was making a lot of noise.

Manana Island

Manana Island, off the coast of Oahu, Hawaii. I thought it resembled a lion poking his head out of the water.

Laugh in the Face of Horror

Tiffany Shepis, star of numerous horror flicks, down at the now familiar Hi-Speed Rods and Customs, downtown. :)

Whispers

Sometimes I forget to listen to my inner voice, and I could use a self-served slap in the face. :)

Mother and Son

An affectionate nip from mother to son...

Red Shoes

These were some of my favorite shoes! They were stolen out of my car a while ago and I was sad. I am glad that I used them in a shoot before that happened though!!

Mt. Lemmon #2

Cactus blooms on Mt. Lemmon.

One day at work

I snapped this a while ago when I last took my camera to work with me. I really like photographing wine, it's something I want to photograph more often.

Arizona

Scenic Arizona....

Model #2

Bikinis and private airplane hangars, what else could this possibly need? Maybe some bright colors.

Broken Walls

The broken walls of a church in the middle of renovations. I have always wondered what the situation was that caused "no" to be written on the wall.

Water Droplets

Water droplets! Need I say more?

Funny

I've been by here many times in the dark, so the one time I passed by during daylight I could not help but laugh. I wonder what happened!

Just Outside

Just a glimpse of what I see everyday! (Except for the clouds, I would like to see a few more of those on a regular basis!)

Sittin' at a bar

One spring break we were at a dive bar in San Diego. I saw this shot and grabbed my friends crappy point and shoot. Luckily it had some manual settings and I was able to get this!

A Bird in a Cage

A Day on the Mountain

One day my friend and I took his dogs up the mountain and as he was walking them, saw a great shot, and so did I!! It shows how photographers sometimes have to multitask!

Watchtower

A watchtower in the swamp, too bad I wasn't hanging out in there when that gator decided to sun right next to it!

Roses

Simply a rose. By moving the camera as the shutter went off I was able to capture the movement. It reminds me of a shooting star.

County Fair

The county fair! I love all the lights and bright colors!

Train Car

I passed by an empty train in Durango, CO and this was the view I got. It reminded me a little of a kaleidoscope.

Window

I looked up while at the Renaissance Fair and saw this. All I could think of was a fairy tale, nothing specific, just the idea of the romance and mystery.

Making the Climb

On the way up to Fisher Towers. It was a nice trail, not too long, not too steep, but full of beauty! On the way down there was a choir in this same spot, and the natural acoustics of the rock were amazing.

Did I grow up in Jurrasic Park?

My hometown is full of giant dinosaur statues.... I am used to it, but I'm sure people passing through think it's just silly. This is just one of many, many dinosaurs I grew up looking at!

Shiny Blue

I love unique cars! This one wasat a show in Louisiana last year, the engine was amazing!

Golden Mystery

What is this?

I love macro photography and
want to get more into it. I need
a good lens, it's so hard to do
with the one I have!!

Hometown

Oh when we were younger.... jumping out of trees was a much more normal thing than it is now or probably ever will be again.

Spider's web

Spider, hanging out at home.

Horses in Black and White

Horses waiting for some hay!

Morning Dew

The morning dew on my aunt's flowers.

Pink

Luckily I was able to get this shot at Sea World! Too bad the water was so murky.

Dancing Ducks?

The way these ducks all moved in unison was pretty amazing! It was almost like they were dancing, and this image just captured the comedy of the moment.

Wilhelmina

Lunch time for Wilhelmina!

13 Years

I miss you everyday. It has been 13 years today, and I wish I could see you again. I love you so much....

Looking through the lens

A view from the other side of a camera.

Mt. Lemmon life

Mt. Lemmon, a wonderful place for nature, even with the hundreds of people that swarm up there every day.

Midnight Meal

It's not often one witnesses a spider mid meal, much less often I think does one get to see the whole thing through a sliding glass door. The moth was totally devoured by the time the spider was done.

Trapped

.
"The ground shakes, drums...
drums in the deep. We
cannot get out. A shadow
lurks in the dark. We cannot
get out... they are coming."

Boubon Street

A quiet night on Bourbon Street, long after the bead throwing excitement of Mardi Gras. The streets of the French Quarter were filled only with the sounds of a few people checking out the bar scene and the engines of a passing motorcycle.

Winter Wonderland

One of many shots from the finale episode of Arizona Top Model: Season 2.

The Adventure Begins

The adventure begins, where will it end? Excitement grows with each passing cloud, as we soar closer and closer to our destination.

Outside the Stable

I felt like this horse was posing for the camera, it almost looks like a dance move to me.

Pretty in Pink

It's pink, it's pretty.... it's for all of you who do celebrate Valentine's day. Get all made up and treat your man right!!

A Darker Side of a Seemingly Happy Girl

Something a little darker for friday the 13th, one of my few remaining 35mm film photos.

Laughter

I was at sea world a few years ago and came across a walrus that was quite adamant about spitting up shrimp and sucking them back into his mouth. Of course this is extremely funny to the kids that were up close against the glass!

Celebrity Crush

My celebrity crush, Billy Corgan. I was lucky enough to receive a pretty dope ticket for my birthday last year and was able to go and stand less than ten feet away from The Smashing Pumpkins for a full 3 hours......best day ever! I had to shoot this with a brand new camera I had no idea how to use, since they only let you take in point-and-shoot cameras to these kinds of venues.

Venom

I guess I have a thing with semi-dangerous animals, I love how the scales blend in a bit with the dirt. It makes it a little scarier when you see the eyes and realize it's not just dirt and rocks.

Sunflowers

I ran into some sunflowers at the Desert Museum. Most people were looking at all the cacti and the animals, meanwhile I stooped down and got this shot!

Bar Lights

Curving lights on the wall at Level Bar and Lounge. I've had a few shoots there and one day I decided to take a few of my own and this is one of my favorites!

Calendar Girl #1

One of the ladies from the Tempe12 calendar I have shot for the last 2 years. Check out Tempe12.com if you want to see more! The calendar is a lot of fun to work on, there will surely be more photos up from that as the days go by!
