AZ Roller Derby

On thing I missed when I left North Carolina was Roller Derby. I looked into heading up to Albuquerque for a Duke City Derby match, when I was in Clovis, but it never seemed to work out. Now in Phoenix, I found the Arizona Roller Derby and headed out for the league championship.

Not quite trash the dress

Last we Arielle and I did a late night pool photo shoot. Next time it will be during magic light and I'll have an aquarium for underwater shots.

Hiking Camelback

Phoenix is pretty flat. It's not Clovis flat but it's pretty flat. That doesn't mean there isn't terrain around. See, Phoenix is in a valley and surrounded by mountains in every direction. There are several mountains in town. They're not the Appalachian Mountains but they are mountains. Because we have outdoor activities and it doesn't smell like cow poop, Arielle and I have started hiking on the weekends. Last weekend, we headed to Camelback Mountain. It looks as this will become a weekly hike to get in shape before we head out for longer weekend trips.

Phoenix First Friday

Arielle and I went out for First Friday a couple weeks back. We didn't stop at half of the galleries around and we still had a full evening.

A view from Phoenix

It's been a slow month. I haven't done much shooting or editing of what I did shoot. This is something from the end of July, shot as I was leaving my apartment.

Heading West, part 2

It's a little over due, but it's here. The second part of my two part series on moving to Phoenix.


Until this trip, I would have went left, to Albuquerque..


The mountain is a sign we were coming up to Flagstaff. It's at around 7000 feet elevation. Phoenix is around 1000 and 120 miles south.The entire drive is through the steepest mountains we crossed on the trip. One in particular I had my foot to the floor and the truck was barely able to stay at 35 mph.



We got into town about 11:30 and got to the hotel about 12:30 am and were in bed by 1. We were up at 5 and over to the apartment about 6 am. It ended up getting up at 114 the day we moved in. Welcome to Phoenix.
