Somewhere Between Here and There

I am an Arizona professional photographer living in the middle of Nowhere. My blog, Dispatches from Nowhere, provides an open window into the this small rural town in Arizona and the people who define this place called Nowhere. As well, it provides an additional outlet for the photography I create for travel magazine Arizona Highways, an internationally acclaimed landscape and people photography magazine showcasing the best Arizona has to offer to visiting tourists, its residents and lost souls.

A TOWN CALLED NOWHERE, ARIZONA

A TOWN CALLED NOWHERE, ARIZONA

In The Beginning

You see, I and five brothers were raised on an Iowa farm 50 years ago by two incredible parents. But then, I up and moved to Arizona to become a photographer. This profession has been exceptionally good to me. Depending on the workload and the season, I reside in a number of spots: Nowhere, Tempe or Flagstaff, Arizona or Goldfield, Iowa or Puerto PeƱasco, Mexico. As a part-time resident of the tiny town called Nowhere, I have a unique perspective on the folks who live and work in a place which time has passed by. And, I'd like to share this fascinating place with you. When I'm somewhere other than Nowhere, I'm likely on assignment either for a corporate client or Arizona Highways magazine. All along, you'll come to know Nowhere, Arizona and its common people with uncommon problems and personal achievements. Early dispatches offer some background into the town itself while newer dispatches will reveal the character of the townsfolk and my photo travels.

We were Nowhere for Christmas again this year, and a wonderful holiday it's been. But, as you can see from the photo, it wasn't a white Christmas for Rudolph, the girls and Santa. But we're used to it around here. Even the Arizona highway department gets into the spirit with their road signs this time of year. Most places call that vandalism. The folks around these parts call it holiday cheer. We're looking forward to a Nowhere New Year!

A New Year in Nowhere. Ahh, Life Is Good.
