It was incredible to see so much passion and creativity on display during the Art X Festival. From music, performance, 2-D and 3-D art all the workshops and community involvement were incredible. Another major highlight for me was the multi-media music performance titled “Uncertainty”. At it’s core, it was an original piece composed for marimba. To accompany this, another performer controlled a light show of colored LED strips while another sent signals to what was essentially a second, robotically controlled marimba. Each note was struck by a servo controlled mallet and programed remotely. It was certainly a unique and incredibly interesting performance.

Of the over 180 events spread out over 10-day Art X Festival, one of my personal favorites was the Flagstaff Food Foraging workshop. The brain child of a local chef, a foraged food expert and a artist/musician/creative the team hosted several groups of area high-school students and worked through creating incredible dishes from wild foods found right in our backyards.

Wrapped up photographing Creative Flagstaff’s 10-day Art X Festival, and wow what an event! The basic idea could be summed up as ‘Art everywhere’. Each event could have been its own gallery, but I will break it up into several highlight posts instead. So stay tuned for a TON of content to come from this incredible festival…

Creative Flagstaff is hosting the very ambitious Art-X Festival once again this year. A 10-day arts festival with installations, performances, workshops and so much more in locations all over Flagstaff. The main festival will be May 17-May 26, I had the pleasure to photograph an early event entitled, Traveling the Universe. Local school children had the opportunity to experiment with a mix of poetry, music, visual arts and science to explore the universe outside our solar system. More info on the upcoming festival can be found at artxideas.org

Once again I was invited to photograph the annual Creative Flagstaff Viola Awards Ceremony. I have been photographing this event for probably 10-years, the Violas are always a fun gathering of artists from around Northern Arizona and a great way to celebrate the arts in our area.

The new year is in full swing and I have been shooting like a mad-man. Graduations, basketball and lots of snow related assignments. Check out a sampling of what I have been up to below, as usual, click an image to enter the slideshow for the best viewing…
It took me a while to get it together, but here is the second part of my “Best of 2015” post. Check out the previous post for images of sports, presented here are more news related images from the past year. I would like to put together one more as a “Best of Personal Work” but I will need to get a scanner as I shot almost exclusively film when not at work…Find me in person and I will let you dig through my box of prints if that appeals to you. In the mean time, please enjoy a selection of my favorite images from the past year. As always the best way to view the images is to click on the first one and enter slideshow mode…

While digging through the last years worth of images working on a “best of” post I came to the realization that my sports shots really needed their own post. This style of photography, while not something I ever thought I would do so much of, is a major part of what I do, but different enough from the rest that I think it justifies a separate post. Below is a variety of images which actually lean toward “sports feature” instead of sports action, good sport feature is really the more difficult side of sports shooting. While I may have been better shots throughout the year, Jah knows there were enough of them, here are 25 that I tend to like…
