Tucson

I lived in Tucson whilst doing a teaching exchange in 2003/04. This was a trip to get to spend some time with old friends, enjoy the city and the desert wilderness that surrounds it. Near the end of my trip I spent an evening addressing the Tucson Camera Club at the Jewish Community Center. This lively club were a great audience, challenged and inspired by my presentation and having many questions afterwards.

Being away from the norm was a great place to experiment with my new camera, a Pentax K-3. Having a 24.4 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, twice the size and yet the camera is smaller and lighter than my Olympus DSLR, I was drawn to the street photography I used to do last century, on film.
