So, the Arizona Aloha Festival was this weekend. It’s a big hit around here. In fact, my family and I have enjoyed it for the past few years. You might say, it’s highly addictive. For those of you that know me, you know that I sometimes shoot random photos of all kinds of things. While […]

Next weekend brings another cool event to Tempe Beach Park, the Arizona Aloha Festival. Tens of thousands of people will head to the festival for good food, music, shopping and fun. This family-friendly event will give you a great taste of the islands, don’t miss it. The pic of the week is one I shot […]

My wife and I were at the Downtown Phoenix Market recently when I took this week’s “pic of the week.” I actually took the photo to remind my friend Justin that we are overdue for a Happy Hour at the Market. Come to think of it, we are ALL probably overdue for a Happy Hour […]

This weeks pic of the week is a poor shot of a talented artist. Hey, I never claimed to be a photographer… This past Thursday, I was on Mill Avenue hanging with a bunch of geeks when I hear this guy singing a familiar song. Like many people, I just kind of half-way paid attention […]

Today is the day. The BIG game, the commercials, the pizza, beer and wings. As with just about everything else in life these days, you can also throw in a BUNCH of Tweets on Super Bowl Sunday.

While many have heard of the Twitter prowess that is Jeff Moriarty, and social media powerhouses like Pete Cashmore from Mashable, there is an even more constant roar in […]

My friend Edward Jensen is as cool as he is tall. – That’s pretty cool. I saw him post the pic below where part of the caption said “It’s light rail…at the speed of light!” and immediately thought, “pic of the week!” I love the colors, the reflection on the water and the lights from […]
