Arizona 4/2009

Fallen Toward the Light I love taking pictures of this old fallen tree on the Sunset Crater Lava Flow trail every trip to Arizona. My favorite of the bunch so far, even if the sky was a little blown out. This is an infrared shot, as though the white pine trees weren't a big indicator.

People either think this directs the eye down the tree well, or it makes their left eye hurt. Or both... Taken with a LensBaby Composer.

Out into the haze. That first step is a doozy. It doesn't look it but that's a 20 foot drop. Wukoki ruins at Wupatki National Monument

Through the Pentaprism Infrared shot of my 40D looking out over the Colorado Plateau at sunset. The 40D is on, but no IR from the display screen. Go figure.

Signature drop on Pink Jeep's Broken Arrow jeep tour. Why yes, that is an IR picture... Does it show?

There's your problem... Slightly toned for a little of that old world feel. Infrared of a tree growing through the outer wall at Tlaquepaque in Sedona. That's what you get when you don't weed ;).

Tlaquepaque Lady Infrared of the fountain at the front of Tlaquepaque in Sedona. Looks nice and old world but for the couple of cars in frame.
