Like a lot of the smaller towns and cities that make up the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, Gilbert is in transition between its agricultural past and its suburban future. It still has the funky vibe of an old Western farm town, but there are also some cool new community spaces, espresso bars and restaurants serving wood fired margherita pizzas. We went out to dinner at one of those new restaurants last night and I took the opportunity to grab a couple of images.

My friend Stephen is a native of New Orleans, although he hasn’t lived there since he finished his first graduate degree. Recently, however, he was asked to write the screen adaptation of Walker Percy’s novel The Moviegoer, which is set in New Orleans, so he decided to rent a house in the Garden District while he finishes the screenplay. Having never been to New Orleans I, of course, invited myself for a visit, from which I have just returned. I fell in love with the city. It has been knocked down pretty hard in the years since Katrina and still has a long way to go before it is fully recovered, but it is nonetheless still a beautiful, exotic city. Here are a couple of images from the trip.
Lake Pontchartrain late in the afternoon.
An egret nesting in Audubon Park.
The Oak Alley Plantation in Lutcher, Louisiana
The Hale Boggs Bridge over the Mississippi River near Luling, Louisiana
I don’t know which came first – the cemetery or the Dow Chemical St. Charles plant. Hahnville, Louisiana.
Stephen, hard at work.

This morning was a gorgeous – bright blue sky filled with drifting cumulus clouds. After a week filled with meetings and editing, I wanted to get outside and shoot, so I grabbed the camera early and wandered down to the new light rail station recently opened on the western edge of Mesa. I started shooting on the platform, but was quickly chased off by a security guard. What is it with this bizarre paranoia about photographers? In any case, I got a few shots on the platform and then started moving around to various vantage points around the station. I liked this image both because of the beautiful sky in the background, but also because the sleek, modern train and station provide a nice contrast to other images I have of the older, fustier Mesa.

Roosevelt Lake Bridge is the longest two-lane, single-span, steel-arch bridge in North America. It is a graceful, elegant structure, which, with its reflection, vaguely resembles either a football or the ICHTHYS insignia from Christian symbology.

Arizona State University’s Sun Devil stadium, on a late summer day, before the beginning of Pac 10 football craziness.
