Tiana Chavez has been a friend of mine since high school and she asked me to shoot some photos of her for her website! She’s an incredible journalist and is fortunate enough to be covering the San Diego Padres this semester for one of her classes! Follow her and see what she’s done lately: @Tee_Chav
I attended a friend’s wedding this weekend and played DJ, not photographer! Still managed to snap a few photos. It was really fun, congrats to Lauren & Brandon.
I live several miles from Firebird International Raceway, after race weekend I usually check out who is still in town. It’s free and as long as you have a good size lens, no one asks questions.
I just wanted to share some of the shots I took, I don’t really know where they are on the website. I’ll post the link soon.
Arcosanti is an experimental town that began construction in 1970 in central Arizona, 70 miles north of Phoenix, it was the first stop on my GPH 405 trip. Architect Paolo Soleri, using a concept he calls arcology started the town to demonstrate how urban conditions could be improved while minimizing the destructive impact on the earth. In the 30 or so years my professor has been doing the trip it is the first time he has had a class meet Paolo.

The final day of our trip we visited Navajo Generating Station, a coal-fired powerplant producing 2280 megawatts located on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Page, Arizona. Navajo Generating Station has three 236 meter high chimneys, which are among the tallest structures in Arizona. This plant provides electrical power to customers in Arizona, Nevada, and California.

Glen Canyon Dam, another stop on our trip but I did not bring the camera on the tour.
Lee’s Ferry, Southwest of Page, AZ.
When I first heard the term I thought Ken Block, but I was mistaken. These ladies are all business. There was some great lighting and overall it was fun because it was something I had never shot.
