Phoenix Magazine “Points of View” Essay
In May 2006, I started working on an photo essay for Phoenix Magazine, called “Points of View.” The idea behind the project was to capture images of situations in and around the Phoenix metro area that a normal person doesn’t encounter on a daily basis. What I didn’t know at the time was that it by the time the project was completed it would be nearly 18 months from the date I started the project.
When the project was finished in the Fall of 2007, it included a number of unique ‘views’ such as: inside the operating room during heart surgery, behind bars at the county jail, onstage during a sold-out concert and a view from the roof of the stadium during a Major League Baseball game. The essay appears as a 12 page spread in the December 2007 edition of Phoenix Magazine. Check it out if you get the chance.

And my favorite image that didn’t quite make it into the essay, although I think it is one of the most unique points of view is the view from the roof of Chase Field during a Arizona Diamondbacks game…
