Arizona People and Venues:Prescott, Sedona and Phoenix

I had not used my 1969 Nikon F for a while, so decided to give it some exercise on a trips to Arizona cities.

Prescott: I have posted photos from this charming cowboy town in the mountains of Arizona. Since it is Easter today, here is a street photo to stay in that spirit. The woman was wearing bunny ears, which is most appropriate on this day but would be out of context for the remaining days of the year!


But Prescott is also home for national social issues and reactions. Here is a moment from the Women's March. Note that the signs do address multiple social issues.



Phoenix:  As any metropolis, Phoenix is all brouhaha of cars and people. On an early Sunday morning I wanted to capture a slow moment. This woman seems to wonder why everyone is eager to go non stop.


Sedona: A city of magestic rock structures and spritualism. On a hike in the rocks, I noticed a man who had climbed high and staying at the edge of the rock. He was more than 500 meters away, and contre-jour. I wanted to test the prowess of my 1970's Nikkor 105mm portrait lens.
Here is the complete negative:


And the cropped segment showing the man:


The imperfections on the film give a feel of a starry evening sky -- and the joy of using film and mechanical cameras.
