Saturday Morning at the Oro Valley Library

Oro Valley Public Art

Monsoon rains had filled the sky most of the afternoon and evening.  There were heavy clouds with thunder and lightening goin on all around.  Just has the sun was setting it popped out under the clouds for about 5 minutes.  The slot for light was very narrow and focused.  It hit the mountains and I knew where I wanted to be.  I also knew I had less than 5 minutes to be there and still have the light.

I made it set up and got off about 6 quick shots before the light and the sun were gone for the day.  This one was the keeper.  Shot with an Ultra Wide angle at 14mm.  1.6 sec exposure at f8.

Handing off the Stone Cold Pizza

It’s a pizza hand off, like two runners in a marathon these two metal heads are either going for the pizza or headed home with the last two pieces.

Taking the Shot

This is one of the latest additions to Oro Valley’s pubic art. It has the same whimsical touch of humor that so many of the latest pieces exemplify. This is truly one of my favorites.  Not because of the scary lips that make him look like the Joker.  It is the whole scene that takes this photographer from scary to smiles for all that encounter him.

Shooting the Shooter

Outside the Oro Valley Hospital

This is a touching piece of artwork.  There is over a million dollars worth of art all throughout the hopsital.  One thing that makes me smile about this piece.  The Oro Valley Hospital is an Adult hospital.  There are no childrens services here.  Those are handled by the sister hospital Northwest.
