Aerial view of Arizona landscape

I recently flew to Phoenix, Arizona, to attend my first Imaging USA. Imaging USA is the largest annual convention and expo organized by pro photographers, for pro photographers.  I traveled light so I didn't take my DSLR camera, but my little Canon G9.  I had never seen the mountains of Arizona and was awed by the rugged beauty of the landscape.  These images were perfect fits for black and white so I converted my favorites and have included them for your viewing pleasure.  Enjoy!

Kim in the snow and the nameless cat!

We found some snowy areas in Kim's yard before the snow melted on this beautiful sunny day in January.  We didn't plan to do on any pet portraits but Kim's pet cat wanted to get into the act!  I would have added the cat's name but they have so many cats that they aren't named.  Kim picked most of the cat portraits as her favorites and I have included them for you to enjoy!
