Welcome!

Welcome to the Arizona Treks Blog. This is where I talk about my adventures in learning photography. Here you will find a variety of topics and photos.
I hope you enjoy the site and the writing. It is a different style than most photo blogs, I hope to make you think about your photography and to inspire you to shoot more and grow. Feel free to comment or to send me email. It is always nice to hear from people who read the blog.

    So far 2011 has been an eventful year for us. Not all is well, however. I am currently seeking outside employment and re-entering the workforce.
