Going Behind the Scene
Tucson, Arizona
2023
A young woman darts behind a large mural, on her way to work perhaps. Her black coat and pants, and yellow backpack and Vibram sole emblem on the bottom of her boot coordinate nicely with the building colors.

Out of Context #2
Tucson, Arizona
2023
While in general, I thought yesterday’s POTD to be quite “Hopperesque” in feel, I felt it lacked the typical lone person featured in many of Hopper’s paintings. But when I looked closer at the building, I saw this in one of the upper floor windows.

Out of Context
Tucson, Arizona

I was going to call this one “For Ed” but in Arizona, at least among a certain cadre of folks, that would have brought the author and general recalcitrant Edward Abbey (a.k.a. Cactus Ed) to mind. I was thinking here of course of another famous Ed, artist Edward Hopper. I wouldn’t normally think of Hopper while walking around in downtown Tucson because it generally lacks the kind of architecture found in Hopper’s iconic paintings. But this unique building, and the accompanying lighting, brought him to mind immediately.

An aloe plant rather than an agave, but one which fits well with yesterday’s wayward growing agave post.
Agave #3
Tucson, Arizona
2023
It’s easy, I think, for a collection of agave photographs to start feeling redundant. Maybe that’s why I’ve started paying more attention to the less orderly versions of the plant. The sweeping curve of this wayward agave “leaf” give the image a surprising sense of dynamic movement.
Agave #1

I’ve taken so many photos of agave over the years that I should have started numbering them long ago. Too late for those earlier images, but starting with this one, I’ll be doing just that.
Focus Point
Tucson, Arizona
2023
It’s amazing how many leading lines in this image converge to the bottom center of the image, nicely bracketing the three people standing at the intersection.
