Gates' Pass

Since I haven't really been doing anything with my photography over this past year, I've been really enjoying shooting with my old Ansco Ventura. The camera is from the early 1950's, is completely manual, shoots 120 medium format film, and folds up to fit in my pocket. I love it. In Arizona I probably shot about 10 rolls of film, and scanned the best out of most of them yesterday. Since moving, I've shot about 6, now I just need to get them developed. There will be more of these coming soon.

Spring in Tucson

Here are a few photos from several hikes I've done over the past few weeks while the Sonoran Desert has been in full bloom. And after some record rain fall this winter, the bloom has been amazing. Now I just can't wait for the elusive night blooming Saguaro to start.
