A street shot with AZ road sign. It's almost impossible to get a good shot of the very cool streets with out a car or people in them. So i just cropped them out and let more sky into the frame.

Another view of this abandoned house. Different angle and more dessert in the background.

An old wall with stairs, kind of interesting, not much of an angle.

Once again, (my only reader) in a color and contrast tweaked photo.

One of the round windows. I didn't get the angle how I wanted it. Next time I have to take more shots of the same thing so I get what i want.

An old church, tried to give it that old post card look.

More iron work done in blue.

Tried to get that old style brick curve against the clouds. Got a bit carried away with the f\x, but still good.
More pics to come soon!

Who's that lady?


Off center subject (Iris) and tweaked for color and contrast. Much better than your average snap shot.
Another shot of iron work on old hotel. Tweaked with some copper on a second B&W layer. Makes a nice wide screen desktop.

This didn't really come out like I wanted it too. Was trying for the contrast between the plants, stucco, and sky. The arches just didn't capture the light like I wanted.
Still and OK photo.
Kind of cool old buildings, actually there are 3 of these same buildings in a row. I liked the round windows and arched doorway. The green trim and iron work look nice against the old stucco.

Porch rails on an old house. I just wanted to get the color of the old paint against the weathered wood. Tweaked it a bit to bring out the detail in the wood. Looks a lot better than I thought it would.

Window in an old abandoned house.
I just liked how this looked. The shadows and stains on old concrete. A nice contrast, I think.

Small square windows set over top of doors and display windows of and old store. Nice color and geometric pattern. Makes a nice wide screen desk top.

This just rocked, Nice lettering on old wall. Seems kind of out of place in an old wild west town, but non-the-less very bold and colorful picture.

Iron work from old hotel that burned down. Rusted metal with the old brick and wall made a pretty cool photo.

An old abandoned house hanging over the mountain side. I liked the weather worn textures of the old house set against the bright blue Arizona sky. May not be "ART" but pretty damn close.

Deterioration (things falling apart)

Photo set taken on day trip to Jerome, AZ. Lots of color and texture contrasts. An old mining town now over run by Bikers and Tourists.
Lots of Hippy shops and artsy fartsy stuff.
This is my view on this old town built on the side of a mountian.
