Lady Gaga in Phoenix

Lady Gaga put on a spectacle at US Airways Arena in Phoenix, and her fans were right there doing their best to keep up. This was an interesting night to say the least.

AMOCOCO at the Mesa Arts Center

The architect who designed the Sydney, Australia Opera House cooked up a sprawling inflatable interactive art structure called AMOCOCO that is touring the world and that is currently set up in my hometown at the Mesa, Arizona Arts Center. Ambient music is played and different colorful panels fill the space with an array of color from the sunlight projecting through. It's really a relaxing sublime experience exploring the space that has been created out of plastic sheeting less than a millimeter in thickness.

Turning a New Leaf

It's been some time since I last updated my blog, so if there's anyone left out there still keeping tabs, I apologize. But I'm back...

I've decided to commit to posting on my blog if not daily at least more regularly. My job is fun and interesting and very busy. My backlog of photos is enormous and I often lose track of posting images because I'm not supposed to share content that hasn't yet been published, so by the time my work IS published in our weekly magazine I've already shot and am working on shooting dozens of other assignments. It's a never-ending cycle. I live my life one-week's-worth of assignments at a time.

Life doesn't stop for anyone, or even slow down for that matter, but continually trudges ahead. Sometimes it runs you over and leaves you tossing aimlessly and helplessly in its wake. I feel like I've been lost for a spell. I'm entering into a new transitional stage in my life, and although I don't know where this all may lead I am open to whatever change may come.

So cheers...Here's to new beginnings.
