The Bowtie

One more photo from my time in Downtown Phoenix not long ago. I’m pretty happy with how this one came out even though a few people walked in front of the camera while I was taking the photo. The shutter was open for so long that the camera didn’t even register them in the image. I hope you enjoy!

Thank you for your support and have a great weekend!

About

I hope that my photography inspires you to go somewhere you have never been, to try something you haven’t tried, or that it simply helps make you smile on a day when you need it. In addition to photographing amazing landscapes, I also am a wedding photographer in Phoenix.

    Great line up this time. That bow tie thing is really cool. I’m amazed there is so little noise going on with your shutter open so long and that much light around you. very nice.
