Landscapes of 2019

This year I have been paying special attention to traditional landscape framing, in addition to my favorite close range depth-focusing style. It is always a challenge, of course, but in the Phoenix Mountains especially it can be difficult to find terrain in which little or none of the surrounding city peeks into the shot. Predictably, I tend to look towards the center point, to Piestewa itself. But now and then a lucky vista will open up facing outward, and if the lighting is right, it can become something really special. Also evident are saguaros featured in the foreground, simply because they’re neat, and they’re everywhere.

Please let me know if you like what I’ve been doing this year, I realize none of my physical projects have materialized yet but, as always, I have exciting irons in the fire and feedback always helps refine which are prioritized!
