I know you've always wanted to visit Phoenix, especially in the summer. Well if this was your summer to visit, but you've decided to boycott the state of Arizona for political reasons, I've got a solution for you: you can live here vicariously through these photos!
These were taken in the time since my temporary relocation back to Phoenix (I’ll be back in Portland later this summer), with the exception of a few that I took on a brief family visit this past winter.
I really enjoyed the photos from all over the city. Phoenix is surely making good progress. I especially liked the protest pictures, hopefully it will send a message to Gov. Brewer and the AZ Legislature.
well immigration aside, i could still take the bait and make a lot of disparaging remarks about the desert sprawl of phoenix and its downtown, but these photos are just way too awesome to do that!

Very nice shots. Its too bad the protestors have to dip to moronic levels and compare their opponents to Klansmen and Nazi's, while I hate SB 1070, thats no way to make your point effectively, ah well.
Hard to explain, but you've really captured the essence of what it's like to roam around large portions of Phoenix. The only thing that's missing is a Circle K parking lot.
Exceptional photos.
