Mt. Lemmon

On Sunday I had the privilege to take a short little trip up to Mt. Lemmon for a 'FLIPSIDE' portrait session with the beautifully photogenic Miss Phuong... but more to come on her photographs soon! As we headed up, I constantly kept checking the air temperature button in the car to see how fast the weather would change. Right now in Tucson it's any where from about 96-100 degrees... all depending on when the Monsoon's roll in. As we increased in elevation the temp. was falling fast.... Ha le lu a (if that's how you spell it?). Mid way up it was about 76! Though as we made the drive further up the mountain the clouds were noticeably lower. They were spooky & fog like, rolling across the roads and trees. AWESOME! This totally helped with the mood of the portraits which I will be showing later. I did luckily capture a shot from the car of what we were visually experiencing. In some spots we couldn't see 15 ft in front of the road. At the top of the Mountain I pressed the temp button again for about the 5th time and to my delight it read 72 degrees. AHMAZING. This might be a new location especially when it's wickedly HOT in the city! Yay I had so much fun and didn't get heat exhaustion or dehydrated! It was such a nice change of atmosphere. SCORE!

Enjoy...



Some detail shots of found junk! Way cool little spot filled with old parts from the 'ski lifts'.


There's just something about rusted metal that I can't get enough of! I'm obsessed with it & want to hang up all my photo documentation of found objects all around the house!
