Well, the heat is back in the valley for the duration of the next 4 months.
I am tired of the summers here, but at this point, a move to Montana or Wyoming is not possible. We keep looking for an opportunity, but it will take precious time.
Bri came in this weekend, so I got up at 4:50 and I met her out in east Mesa just before 6 AM.
A short drive to a little cactus park with a reflecting pool for an hour or so shoot. Bri is a great friend, and we always make photos together when the opportunity comes our way. It’s what we do.
At 7:15 it was already pushing 90 degrees so we called it and headed to the airconditioned car.
Always fun shooting Bri.
Next time we will do it in her neck of the woods which is much cooler than Phoenix.
I am a big supporter of Unsplash. If you are uncomfortable with that, I understand. But I do indeed like it, and believe it is good for the industry as a whole. Very good. (I have written about it extensively, google is your friend.)
