ATC Zero

21 years ago at 9:03 am a Deputy Manager at the FAA’s regional air traffic control center on Long Island issues a command to clear the skies over New York City and its’ surrounding region. Not a single flight will be allowed in or out of New York. At 9:25 am an FAA National Operations manager on his first day at the job issues a nationwide ground stop, halting all aircraft on the ground from taking off. At 9:38 am that same manager makes the decision to land or divert every single aircraft either over the United States or headed this way.

Monsoon Season 2022

It’s monsoon season here in Phoenix, and we’ve had multiple days of strong winds, rains, flooding, and thunderstorms. I got off work a little after 3 am on Thursday morning and was treated to quite the light show on my drive home so I ran around until about 8 both at home and south mountain taking in the storm.

Forrest Gump Point

If this shot looks familiar to you, it should. This is US Hwy 163 and it runs through Utah on its way to Monument Valley. The road and view look familiar because this is the spot where Forrest Gump decided he had had enough of running and headed home to his beloved Alabama. I was racing the clock and had already missed the sunset when I arrived here and wasn’t even sure if any of the (rather rushed) photos would be salvageable. I had just enough light and color left in the sky to fire off a few frames while dodging traffic (for being out in the middle of nowhere, at dusk, the road was surprisingly busy) and other photographers.

The Westward Ho

The past few days we’ve had some clouds and light rain roll through the valley which, if it doesn’t completely blanket the city, can provide some truly spectacular sunsets. This has been the case the past few days so I ventured out into my neighborhood to see what the weather might provide.

This is The Westward Ho. It was built as a hotel in 1928 and was the tallest building in Arizona for 30 years. The hotel served as the site for numerous large scale events and weddings. The hotel can also be seen in movies such as the 1998 remake of Psycho, the 1972 movie Pocket Money with Paul Newman and the 1965 movie Bus Stop starring Marilyn Monroe. The antenna on top of the building was used to broadcast the first television station in Phoenix and is now used as a cell tower.

Monsoon Season

Beginning in June and ending in September the Arizona monsoon season provides a much-needed respite from the hot dry days common to our summer weather. Along with the humidity comes an increased prevalence of rain and thunderstorms. This storm came up fast enough that I had to decide between making sure I was able to capture the storm before it blew through and moving to a more picturesque location. In the end, I decided that downtown Phoenix would have to suffice and the storm itself did not disappoint.

PHX

Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport quite literally sits in the middle of Phoenix offering unusually spectacular views of landing and departing to aircraft to the surrounding community. Approximately 1200 flights and 120,000 passengers arrive and depart every day. Driving to the top of the parking garage gives an unfettered view of the tarmac below and the mountains (some close, some far) that surround Phoenix.

Tempe Bridges

I hope this finds everyone rested up thanks to…and perhaps from the Thanksgiving holiday. After a crazy run of days between jury duty and working, I am enjoying several days off myself. I decided to run over to Tempe Town lake yesterday as I figured it might be a little less crowded than usual and I wasn’t disappointed.

As a side note, I’m always thinking of different ways to present the photos I take. This past year I’ve worked under the timeline of posting one photo per week…..or at least one primary photo per week. Occasionally I’ve had a set of photos and have either posted them as a group or posted one photo and then added the others to the gallery on my website. I am always working to find the balance between posting photos…..and trying not to be the friend that is constantly posting new content and/or asking you to check out items for sale. There is a fine line between keeping you intrigued or leaving you annoyed…. and I’m trying to walk it. So I’m going to start trying something new. If I end up with a series of photos in a shoot I will post a primary photo to FB and Instagram, as most of my traffic is to this account, and any subsequent photos may be posted to Instagram throughout the week What do you think? Good idea? Bad Idea? Couldn’t care less please pass the Thanksgiving leftovers??? Let me know in the comments. Cheers!!

Homecoming Weekend at Luther College

I flew back to the Midwest for my 20th year reunion at Luther College. The weather forecast was for rain (and so far this morning it hasn't disappointed) so when I saw a little sunshine peaking through the clouds on the drive down yesterday, I decided to take advantage and grab a couple quick pics.
