This is my friend Emma. We’ve been through some crazy adventures together, and I recently got to spend some time with her in her latest adventure: a family flour mill. She and her dad run the business, Hayden Flour Mills, using a fantastic Austrian mill to create unique, clean, local flours. I’m very much [...]

IRC Plants New Roots in Phoenix

Now this is a FANTASTIC idea. I have become a huge proponent of eating organic food and, even better, LOCAL organic food. I love exploring farmers markets in my area and buying as much as possible from local growers. I also, as you know, work with different refugee communities and have come to count them [...]

Phoenix is more of a culturally diverse place than most people might think, and here’s a bit more evidence of it. Complete with supermarket, restaurants, Chinese medicinal herb stores, decor shops, and Chinese garden, the local Chinese Cultural Center it’s an entire plaza dedicated to promoting Chinese culture and providing a place for the local [...]

Soda Dam & Elsewhere, NM

I spent the last several days in New Mexico and had an especially fun time photographing this place. It’s called Soda Dam, at Jemez Springs. Besides the waterfall, with water coming from the river, sulphurous mineral water also comes out of springs in the ground, like this one and through the rock itself. Here’s what [...]

Georgetown

I was there for four days, but it was not enough. I had never seen Georgetown before, and I have to say I wish I had more time there. Exploring the city on red brick sidewalks, taking in elegant row houses, and people-watching at the coffee shops, waterfront restaurants, and hallowed university campus. I thoroughly [...]

Languages of Phoenix

As surely most of you know, Arizona has a bad rap these days for immigration issues, intolerance, etc. etc. But if you don’t live here, you probably don’t realize how incredibly diverse it is or that the city of Phoenix actually takes in more refugees than most other cities in the country. This place [...]

This is Lylah Ledner. She and her husband Michael run The Simple Farm, a very cool local suburban farm I’ve had the privilege to photograph lately. This time I went to photograph Lylah because The Simple Farm has been gaining notoriety in the Valley, and Lylah will soon be featured as one Phoenix’s 100 Tastemakers [...]

San Fran in an Afternoon

This past weekend I was visiting a friend in Northern California and took somewhat of a whirlwind tour of the San Francisco area. These were all taken in the span of an afternoon, but I thought I’d share some of my touristy snapshots from the day with you… Redwoods at Muir Woods National Monument [...]
