A photo full of hope! I like how it is framed with the city in the background. Reminds me of my wife and I although given my fear of heights, she would probably give me a push!

Thanks Joel. You know you've found your partner when you know how to push all of each other's buttons!

Very nicely conceived and composed. At my age, almost everyone seems younger than me.

Thanks Dave and Jer. I took this on my first afternoon in Phoenix, actually, visiting from Georgia for a job interview. It was a little fantasy of mine to take a little rental car and drive too fast up a mountain, which is exactly what I did.

Anyway, there was a local sports team that had also come up the mountain for a photo shoot. I was still dressed up from the job interview, and I was carrying the K-r around. When the coach got out, he went straight up to me. He thought I was their photographer. I had to explain to him, no, your photographer is set up on that ridge over there.



Arizona sunsets are killer for portraits.

Young love. Very sweet. You are so right about those Arizona sunsets. Good luck on the job interview. Quite a change from Georgia.

Thanks Susan! Actually, this all happened a year ago. So much has changed since then, it's hard to believe it's been only a year. I got the job then... and lost the job about a month ago. The company's not doing so well these days. So I guess I will accept your good luck wishes on coming interviews after all!
