We've been busy, and that's a good thing for a photographer. After an unusually slow spring, things are popping around here. I've leaving Nowhere now for the cool pines of northern Arizona. This weekend the boys and I have a booth at the Route 66 Chili Cookoff Saturday in Flagstaff and the Arizona State Chili Cookoff Sunday in Payson. We won't be cooking chili but we will be selling our new Arizona Chile Poster (see the October 13, 2008 blurb on this blog), our line of T-shirts and other chile stuff. Cool Country - Hot Chiles. Sounds pretty good to me. Oh, better add a cerveza or three. I hope you enjoy the weekend as much as we will. Then it'll be back to Nowhere and back to work.
A dozen bowls of chili will make life good.
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 Peñasco, 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.
