I was recently in Richmond, visiting family for the holidays, and was able to spend the better part of one day exploring the city with my brother-in-law. Having previously only seen Richmond from the freeway as I passed through, I had no idea what a beautiful and interesting place it is. Here a coal train pauses on the banks of the James River just south of the Hollywood Cemetery.

Gilbert, AZ
Posted by Chris H. on May 24, 2009
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.

Mesa Light Rail
Posted by Chris H. on March 12, 2009
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.
