~~On Arizona~~
I have created several photo books over the years...On training (as in locomotives)...On Switzerland...On Italy...On Motherhood. Most of my books were just my experimenting with various book publishing services.
I found a service that I LOVE and I am now going to create photo books galore! I really hope everyone that reads this will order one...or more, of course.
Here is the first of many to come....
This luxurious book will not only take you on a journey through one of the most unique states in our country, but will also lose you in it's beautiful texture!

I saw a man die today....
Mother's Day 2016 started off just fine. I was going on a road trip to the lovely...and cool...Mt. Lemmon. At 10,000 feet, it is a lot cooler than the valley...by about 30 degrees.
As I headed out of town I saw a man in an older pick up truck ACCELERATE into a concrete wall. Before he did, he crossed over ALL lanes of traffic, left to right from the HOV lane to an exit ramp. I thought he may have missed his exit and made the stupid move to cross all lines to get off the interstate.
Instead, once he crossed over all lanes, he made a 90-degree angle turn to his left (and back into the traffic), gunned his car and slammed nearly head-on into the concrete wall that separates the north and south bound lanes. Because his vehicle was older, it didn't have air bags. Pieces of the truck flew across the road, and one of his hub caps nearly hit my car.
Because I was immediately behind him, I wasn't able to stop. However, I saw that others did stop, so I called 911, and was told that this was the first call about the crash.
I was so shaken by this event that I thought that I should just go back home. How can I have a decent road trip when this man's life is over? "Awful" doesn't describe it.... I did go on to Mt. Lemmon, all the while replaying the earlier scene.
Unlike me, I took very few photos today...way fewer than normal.
As I look at the images, I am crazy disappointed. I see so many mistakes. Obviously, I was terribly distracted. But that is okay. I remind myself that photography is also therapy.

MiMi Paris Photography: Observation
MiMi Paris Photography: Observation: "Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see, and everything to do with the way you see them.&quo...
