Day 11 - Pollen - Project 365

With all the recent rain and warm weather we are having here in Arizona creates major issues for people who have allergies, me included. We have a tree in our front yard, i'm not exactly sure what kind it is, but it blossoms and drops these yellow balls of pollen on the ground all around it. This is one of the reasons why allergies are at one of the all time high's here in Arizona currently.

Day 10 - AZ Sunsets - Project 365

One thing unique about the deserts are the beautiful sunsets. Although they are not as picturesque as the ocean sunsets, they do a good job for us zonies. Here is a quick pick I took of the sunset this evening with my car in the background.

Day 9 - Summer is almost here - Project 365

Well today is quite warm here in the valley of the sun, we hit 93 for the high today. I better enjoy it while it lasts because endless days of 100+ is almost here.

Day 8 - Grillin some dogs - Project 365

Who doesn't love some grilled dogs and bratts? Tonight was such a beautiful night here in Arizona. Sunny, 87 and perfect weather to fire up the grill. I decided to take a picture of the food that will be no more! Enjoy and TGIF!

Day 7 - AZ Bike Week 2010 - Project 365

For day 7 of Project 365 I was up at Westgate in Glendale for a portion of AZ Bike Week. I love motorcycles and I love all kinds of bikes. This one caught my eye though, its old (or is it?) that is the question. It was pretty unique and I was able to snap a great shot of it before people walked in front of me. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Day 6 - P3G Monthly Shoot - Project 365

This evening is the monthly P3G Gathering, which consists of local photogs talking shop and sharing tips of the trade. We met at Tempe Town Lake and had a model by the name of Kathryn there to strut her stuff while we practiced on her. I had a lot of fun meeting new people and seeing familiar faces. Below is a picture of a row team practicing on the lake. I loved this shot so much I thought I would share it with you all. I'll post a link to the gallery of tonight's shoot. Lots of great pictures to share.



Kathryn our model for the evening.

Shot with a strobe to her right on 1/8th power with a Honl Grid, full CTO gell on the flash and camera f/2.8, 1/125, ISO200 with Tungsten white balance. Unedited straight out of the camera shot.

Day 5 - Stacy's BBQ Smokehouse - Proejct 365

Today I decided to take a picture of this ultra small bbq joint that I ate lunch at today with my friend Scott. Neither of us had been here before and we were both kind of skeptical eating there. We walked in, was greeted by the owner, ordered our food and happily ate it. We will be going back again. The building was this small purple building with graffiti art all over it as their design. It was pretty neat actually so I thought I would share it with you. For the locals, if your interested in some good BBQ give them a try, they are right on the corner of 17th St and Indian School just off I-51.
