Not much exciting to post today, just this familiar view, taken on Sunday at Monument Valley Park. I realize that it's not very exciting, but at least the mountain has got a nice cap of snow on top of it and that always increases its photogenic quality in my opinion. Maybe tomorrow I'll have a more interesting picture to share! But maybe not, since I'm once again swamped with work and I may not have time to be a shutterbug. We'll see!
I took Frodo for a walk in Monument Valley Park on Sunday, and as we passed Boddington Field I noticed a few people practicing their soccer skills, including these two guys. The one one on the right was clearly honing his goalie reflexes while the one on the left coached him.
Driving through downtown this afternoon I saw this guy in front of the Albany, and he was so interesting I had to drive around the block and find him again so I could get a picture. I took this through my windshield, so if it looks a little blurry, that's why. He was probably in the middle of a drug deal but hey, that outfit is supa fly. 😉
Another day, another senior portrait session in a park -- Palmer Park, that is. I was there both yesterday and today for the same reason. This was taken yesterday, and what a pretty day it was!
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I had a senior portrait session that took me to Ute Valley Park, but we actually started at the Ent Center for the Arts since it's such a cool and photogenic structure. I found this sculpture around the back of the building while my client was in the restroom changing into a different outfit. This is near the baseball diamond, and I suspect this artwork and the utilitarian outbuilding behind it have been there much longer than the Ent Center has. The baseball diamond has been there for some time if memory serves, but the Ent Center was only erected between 2015 and 2018 (I went to both the soft opening in November of 2017 and the grand opening in February of 2018 featuring the art of Floyd Tunson). Anyway, this piece is called Dedicated to Excellence and the artist is Denny Haskew.
I was in Ute Park today doing some senior portraits, and grabbed this shot before leaving. It's very clear from this image that the foothills still haven't recovered from the Waldon Canyon Fire over 12 years ago, in fact they still look quite bare. It must take generations for that kind of devastation to disappear.
Well it's new to me, anyway. I don't know how long this interesting piece has been on the side of the Henley's Key Service building on Boulder Street west of Nevada Avenue. I like it. Do you think it's a Christmas theme? You know, wise men, camels and all that? Anyway, I think it's striking and a little different.
