For several weeks Tom and Steve discussed riding the light rail to downtown and just 'exploring around'. There were lots of criteria to be met before buying that cheap ticket! The weather, the light, presence of clouds (not too much cover), traffic, etc. Finally, an instant "Let's go!"
More color than you might imagine in a downtown environment.
Or, black and white works.
If you don't have a tree to capture a starburst, just use a skyscraper!
Not everything is tall.
Hmmmmm . . . .
Explained.
The usual question. "What are you taking picture of?" Assumption is that there is not much to photograph in downtown Phoenix. "Anything that moves!" is Tom's usual response. The arms go in a flash and the smile comes along with the'movement'. Click!!

This dog knows how to model. When the camera is pointed in your direction look at IT!

The guys agree. You could spend days photographing downtown Phoenix. There are long shots, wide shots and detail. There are reflections, color and ample opportunities to plan for a black and white. There are interesting people who don't mind being photographed (just ask). If you have not made a trip downtown with photography in mind, no worries, the guys left a lot of images for you!!
