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.

She Needed A Face Lift

We've been busy of late putting the final touches on our commercial photography business's new website: stevensonphotography.com. That means I've been over in Phoenix working with the webmaster for a couple of weeks and not picking up my camera enough. So, enough IS enough. I'm back to Nowhere and darned glad to be here. I came to Phoenix for the first time in 1971 and 38 years has aged this city. We're done with our website's new face lift. I believe it's time for Phoenix to get a new look, as well. With me sitting here in Nowhere again, the big city sure takes on a different appearance. It's when you get up close that its age begins to show.

I'm back home. Life Is Good.
