Montezuma Castle and Montezuma Well - Montezuma Castle National Monument, along with the detached unit of Montezuma Well, are about five miles from Camp Verde, Arizona. And, they are well worth a visit if you are interested in photographing ancient architecture.
  • The ruins of a Sinaguan three-story pueblo run along a outcropping in the Verde Valley near Clarkdale, Arizona. The site is the main feature of Tuzigoot National Monument. Tuzigoot National Monument - At Tuzigoot National Monument, the ruins of a pueblo crown a ridge east of Clarkdale, Arizona. From this ridge, ancient Sinaguans had a panoramic view of the Verde Valley. Today, Tuzigoot’s prominent position provides multiple opportunities for dramatic photographs.
  • The surrounding red and buff sandstone cliffs are visible from under the overhang of an alcove containing pictographs at Palatki Heritage Site near Sedona, Arizona. Palatki Heritage Site - If you are visiting Sedona, you need to make the trip out to the Palatki Heritage Site to view the ancient pictographs. It is about 18 miles northwest of town, on Forest Road, which is off Forest Service Road 525 (N. Loy Butte Rd.). 
  • Closeup of ancient Sinaguan pictographs and ruins at Honanki Heritage Site, near Sedona, Arizona. Is that a moon figure above the wall?

  • Overlapping sheets of plastic sheets were sprinkled with dots cut from the plastic. Then the composition was photographed through an upper and lower polarizing filter. This is part of my Garbography Series. Garbography: Valuing the Discarded - The series Garbography: Valuing the Discarded reverses the value of objects. By using discarded materials to refract and modify light, I find surprising shapes, tones, and colors.
