Looking about in Phoenix

Spotted this one during a foray into Phoenix for work. I wish I could look about for carts in Ireland where one of the worlds best photographers is right now.

Italy

I would someday like to go back to Napoli.

On travels

We went on vacation, and I found some good carts.

Shooting

In the back of my mind has been the way I shoot, so after photographing a cart in one of my favorite cart spots, I took this photo. It shows how I wind through the approach of a cart, kind of like stalking the darn thing- like a hunter on safari. The straight line of footprints heading back shows my egress from the shoot- probably nothing but snow could demonstrate this except maybe a video- which would be boring to watch.

The bottom photo is the captured image from this approach.

more snow

I had my camera with a 24mm lens on it and just as I was walking to the front door a bird crashed into the window. It landed under a closeby bush and I took its photograph at the closest possible focusing distance- this was one cool bird. Then I walked around back to my captive cart to see how it was doing. Tomorrow will make two days in a row that we will have canceled school for the kids.

Trials

This has been a lousy week and that ended with work in Phoenix. We did some Orienteering, and everyone had fun- we camped out because the super bowl was in town, so I got a sunrise photo this morning and then we drove through some of the worst weather- it took hours to get from Sedona to Flagstaff passing road carnage on the way.
