Phoenix Trip

Do you remember how I said that my Uncle had told me that the temperature was in the low 50's? Well, by the time I had gotten to Phoenix they were going into a warm trend, so I had to suffer with temperatures in the mid 70's. If I didn't have spring fever before, well I have it now. I can't tell you just how bad it sucks to come back to temps in the 30's and an inversion to go with it.
I had a lot of fun on this trip. I got in some great visiting time with my family and got some fun shots as well. Let me know what you think.


This is me being bored at the Salt Lake Airport while I am waiting to board


I wish I could have gotten some good pics of my cousins puppies, but I could not get them to sit still, so I thought I would show how cute they are anyway



We stopped by a tourist area called Goldfield. It used to be a small town and a mining area, but now its a big tourist area. There are mule rides, a train ride and even actors walking around dressed as cowboys and saloon girls. There were lots of old machines around that I thought had such cool colors and textures.

I had to throw this one in of my uncle











This is part of a mountain range called the Superstition Mountains







This is a cool rock



This is one of the branches of the cactus above. Its almost as if it has its own skeleton

New Blog Site

Okay, so here it is, my new blog. As the name of my blog indicates, I am beginning a photography business that I hope will focus on animals and/or people and their pets. In no way am I excluding other subjects, be they human or material, but my real passion is to help animals and so I would like to donate a portion of any profits from my animal photography to local animal rescue orgainizations. I am hoping that this will be a place where I can post my recent photographs (of all subjects) and have friends, family or anyone who is interested, give me feedback. I want to know the good and the bad. I want to know if my picture sucks, if its okay or if I had a moment of visionary genius. GIVE ME THE WHOLE SCOOP, NO FEELINGS SPARED!
I am leaving for a trip to Phoenix in 1 hour, so hopefully I will aquire some good photos while I am there. According to my Uncle, "the temperature is all the way down to the low 50's". Considering the temp here in Salt Lake City, I think I might be able to handle it.
