PHX Photo Walk One

So what is there to take a picture of in Phoenix anyway? Armed with a new camera and free time, I set out to see what I could find. I figured it would be a good chance to enjoy Phoenix’s amazing October weather and fall clouds passing over the city. I found that most people would usually stare at me or be confused by my camera. They’d look at what I was pointing my camera at and walk by wondering why I would take a picture of “that?”

If you see me walking around, don’t be afraid to say hello. Megan from Megan 3point3 actually spotted me walking down 3rd Ave and Willetta one evening. I hope to turn this into a new series of small galleries from just wandering around downtown and perhaps other surrounding areas or events.

Some of these pictures were edited in Lightroom 6 to bring out more color or correct exposure levels. Really it’s another chance for me to get more practice using both the camera and Lightroom. The pictures are in random order as they are not displayed in the order that they were taken nor are they even a part of the same days walk. So I hope you enjoy this and other short walks around downtown Phoenix.

Phoenix has an Irish Cultural Center. I’ve never been inside but I’d like to experience it one day. On the west side of Central north of Portland St.

Angel’s Trumpet Ale House. One of my favorite places to eat and drink downtown. 2nd St. between McKinley and Garfield

A sign on the O’Neil Printing building. 2nd Ave. south of Fillmore St.

I wasn’t able to soften the letters. More training is in order. I haven’t been to the Phoenix Public Market yet but it’s on my list. 14 E Pierce St.

Film Bar is a unique and fun place to watch indie movies and drink local craft beer. You can also bring in your own food. I brought an entire pizza in once. 2nd St. between McKinley and Garfield. Directly across the street from Angel’s Trumpet Ale House.

The Nash is a jazz venue lauded to be one of the best in the country. NE corner of Roosevelt and 1st St.

I had no idea this was here. Brush Party is a place to paint and socialize with others. It’s also a BYOB establishment. On the east side Central north of Roosevelt.
