Event Photography: 4th Avenue 2009 Winter Street Fair
December 14th, 2009Well, it's December, and the Christmas shopping season is hopping. Time to join several hundred thousand of your best friends on Fourth Avenue for Tucson's Winter Street Fair.
Along with several dozen other Watershed Management Group volunteers, I worked the edge of the fair. My job was to prevent people from leaving with open containers of alcohol.
Can't say that I saw any beer walking away, but I did see some catchy wall art while being shuttled to my security vantage point...
The Watershed Management Group took advantage of the opportunity to show off its new signage...
It wasn't all beer drinker-watching and no play. I got a chance to wander around the fair. Saw Tucson's favorite trash container percussionists, the Can Crushers...
Here's a cool idea: Put Tucson Fire Department's first aid guys on bikes. If they need an ambulance for patient transport, they can radio for one. Otherwise, they're saving gas and doing community relations at the same time...
Nothing like watching the sun set over the barbecue stand...
Tip: You can view more event photography in my portfolio. I am also available for event photography assignments in Tucson, Arizona, and elsewhere. To check availability and to request a proposal, please contact me.
Bicycle Photography: Tucson Snake Bridge
December 10th, 2009Was riding across the Snake Bridge, which is just east of Downtown Tucson. This is a bicycle and pedestrian bridge over Broadway Boulevard, and the outside skin has a snake pattern. The southern entrance has a rattler that goes off whenever someone approaches.
The juxtaposition of the Snake Bridge, the traffic below, and my venerable old mountain bike caught my eye...

Bicycle Photography: Nighttime Bike Rack
December 1st, 2009Last month, I was walking along Congress Street in Downtown Tucson. It was a Monday night, not much happening, and I spotted this lone bike outside the Rialto Theatre.
No acts performing at the Rialto, so that didn't explain why the bike was there. It almost seemed as if it was forgotten, but it was too nice of a bike to deserve that fate...
