Nature Photography: The Rains Return
July 23rd, 2010After a three-month absence, an intermittent visitor has returned to the Southern Arizona desert.
While commonly referred to as "rain," this visitor is also referred to as "relief" and less flattering terms, the most common of which is, "Where in the #$%^& have you been?"
The rain in my back yard was a welcome sight on my sagging prickly pear cactii. The increased moisture means that they'll stand up straight again.

Website Design: Optical Sciences Researcher
July 15th, 2010Robert A. Norwood is a professor in the University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences. My website design showcases his research, publishing, teaching, scholarly presentations, and patents.
The home page features a collage of photos that I took of the sculpture, low water use landscaping, and architecture at the college. (If you're interested in water-saving xeriscapes, the College of Optical Sciences offers one of the best examples in all of Tucson.)

Event Photography: Flags and Memories
July 6th, 2010When I was in my early twenties, I set the goal of bicycling through all 50 of the United States. I accomplished this over a 12-year period, and wrote and published two books about my experiences.
My travels also took me into Canada. During a 1987 ride down the Icefields Parkway between Jasper and Banff, Alberta, I met another bicyclist from Quebec.
In heavily accented English, she told me that she didn't really feel like a Canadian until she'd gone out and pedaled around her country. I said that my American bicycle travels had done the same thing for me.
And that's why the Stars and Strips fly outside my house on the 4th of July...
This is my country, and, thanks to the generosity of the people I met on the road, I've seen it, heard it, and felt from Maine to California and from Alaska to Florida. You can see where I went by visiting my bicycle, nature, and travel photography portfolios.
Tip: You can view more event photography in my portfolio and on this blog. I am also available for event photography assignments in Tucson, Arizona, and elsewhere. I specialize in concerts, festivals, parades, political rallies, and sporting events. To check availability and to request a proposal, please e-mail me or call 520-690-1888.
