Twin Arrows is now Lone Arrow, Arizona. At some point it's twin fell and was removed. Thanks I-40. Lone Arrow This Route 66 trading post declined into legitimate ghost-towndom with the creation of Interstate-40 which bypassed US 66. Sad, if you ask me. But it makes a glorious ghost town. If you know me, you know that I thrive in this sort of photographic atmosphere. I have to admit though, this place heebied my jeebies a bit. When you walk around Twin Arrows, many of these do

Leaving Jerome (sadly) I headed to Montezuma Well. The path to the well Because the snakes don't The well Like most everything in Arizona, the scenery is beautiful. Montezuma Castle was next, 10 minutes away. ' if you've seen one cave dwelling, you've seen them all But, I mean, maybe you should see one. I reiterate. Beautiful. I left Montezuma happy I came and ready to head to the next location on my list. Twin Arrows, Arizona. And this is where things started to get weird.

Personally, I know next to nothing about cars. This is changing with the 1963 Corvair Monza Spyder. When I was a child all I knew was that there was this beautiful green car sitting in my Great Grandma's garage. I was always told not to mess with the car, and for the most part I listened, but that didn't stop me from randomly and gently brushing off dust and peeking in the windows at the immaculate old interior. And watching, somewhat confused, as boxes, tools, and other stor

Jerome, Arizona. Where to begin? Last Arizona trip was limited in the Jerome area, so I set this trip up to give me some time there. Does this explain why I love Jerome? Let's talk about the scenery. Jerome is absolutely beautiful. Not in any small part due to it's elevation. As always, I love to wander where the foot traffic is lighter. And this guy Shhh. Jerome is a literal treasure trove of photographic opportunity. Lunch was my long awaited visit to the Asylum Restaurant

I love Cottonwood, Arizona. Especially at night. Much like Tucumcari, it lights up when the sun goes down. It's a tourist trap. Think driving around, around, and around, looking for the very scarce parking place. It probably took me upwards of 30 minutes to find a place to park that wasn't miles away from my destination. Worth it. Ed Mendoza Finally. Parking. A beautiful night for a walk through Historic Old Town. The food at Pizzeria Bocce is amazing! Lights and neon (like,

There's a quote, "If I Can't Take My Camera, I'm Not Going". You could say it's kinda my motto. Last weekend I was asked to go to a car show, Bug-O-Rama, and thinking this wasn't my thing I almost said no. The question was then followed with "you can take photos..." *sigh. Deal. I actually had a pretty good time. Shhh.. don't tell anyone. You can find my event photos in my Projects. Not under my 'Projects' tab are the doggos of Bug-O-Rama. They can't go unshared, though!

My second day of this AZ/NM trip took me to the Corner in Winslow, Arizona. A random, gloriously dilapidated gas station. Sticky Dwelling We've all heard the song, Take It Easy by The Eagles, that originated when co-writer Jackson Browne was stranded here on his way to Sedona. A girl, my Lord In a flatbed Ford. Stickers. The original social media. Every surface has opinions here. None of them subtle. This town has one job and it’s doing it very well. ➜ More from this trip - a
