Color Makes Life Brighter

Here's a few photos that I took that are all about the colors. If you're like me, I live for color. Enjoy.

My Favorite Ghost Town

The old school house, now an artist gallery and studio space

Jerome, AZ has been my favorite place ever since I was in high school. It's the largest ghost town in America. Once a busy mining town, now a fabulous place to visit for a day trip or even a nice weekend.

An old Safeway sign preserved but it's a boutique now

I love it for the old architecture and the photo ops. Surprises are around every corner.

I stayed a night in Jerome recently and was pleased to see that it has more life, but the old is still preserved. It's a very successful destination spot with quaint hotels, wine bars, restaurants, boutiques, and a wonderful artist presence throughout.

Jerome has got such character and quirkiness that during our early morning walk around town we could really stop and admire.

And for me, it was great to see that what was left of old hotel was still protected because I took this same exact picture when I was in high school. And I took it again 2 weeks ago.

In Love

It fits in the palm of my hand and it's no bigger than a deck of cards but I'm so in love with it. It's my new Canon Powershot DS 1200. And it's aqua.  This little baby thing takes better pictures than most any camera I've ever had.  I get giddy with every upload. So clear and sharp are the pictures. Now I feel like I'm really getting somewhere!

It's got a killer zoom lens. The gold lights above were about 50 feet away from me and high in the sky. I could have got even closer!

This photograph I took over my left shoulder. It happened to be a super lucky shot too. Someone was walking by somewhere and their shadow was captured on the window through the water drops in the fountain.  Each of these pictures was enhanced with a photo program as well to make them a little more interesting artistically with color and or texture.
