Finally, 2010’s monsoon season is upon us here in the Arizona desert. Saw an INCREDIBLE storm driving home two nights ago, but by the time I was home and could run up to the roof with the camera (yes, I go up on the roof of my house during lightning storms)… the storm had moved off to the East, and I got only a handful of very disappointing shots. Tonight, a very fast-moving storm came through — this time actually moving West. I missed the chance to pick up any shots with the Superstitions in the foreground, but did pick up a few shots as the storm skated by to the North, heading West.
See my flickr set “Lightning” for more photos throughout the season.

Photos from protest — On May 20, 2010, demonstrators gathered at Chase Field (Bank One Ballpark) to protest the Arizona Diamondbacks’ open support of SB1070. The protest included a choreographed dance, call-and-respond chants and a picket line.
This is one of series of demonstrations protesters have held at Diamondback games over the past month.

 If you want to follow along, this might be an interesting experiment. An idea from some new friends I met at the Photoshop World convention back in October, I’ve joined a “Photo A Day” project — we take a single image a day for 30 days and post them to a pool in flickr. The 30-days just started today. I usually think these projects are kinda cheesy, but for some reason I’ve jumped into this one.
You can see my personal “Photo A Day” photos here:

You can also search twitter for the hashtag “#PhotoADay” to see our tweets about it. This link should work:

Feel free to comment if you want. You already have a flickr account if you have a yahoo account (yahoo owns flickr now, and all yahoo accounts automagically are also flickr accounts, too).
Wish me luck!
