El otro lado / The other side

May 5th, 2011 by Steven St John

I spent some time recently checking out the border crossing in Nogales AZ/Sonora. The project I was there to work on didn’t materialize, but it is fascinating to me exploring a city and people living on a divided.

A vendor looks for more customers as people wait in line on active train tracks to cross legally into the USA. I wish I would have slowed my shutter speed to show the train moving. (more…)

Can you see the moon with that thing?

Be sure to make time tonight to look up at la luna tonight, I hear it’s pretty big. I’m still hoping to make a better picture than this, but we are under cloud cover right now, and not good, big interesting looking clouds either. So, I thought I’d share this to show how close a 300mm stacked with a 1.4 and 2x converters looks, with a bit of a crop. Not the worlds greatest detail, but kinda fun to look at. Just need an airplane to intersect it now.

Obviously sports isn’t a big emphasis of my work, but it’s fun picking up the occasional assignment documenting these student athletes who play with such heart and dedication.

Viva la Tribune!

February 23 marks the anniversary of the publishing of the final edition of The Albuquerque Tribune, and alumni gathered locally as we do each year.

It’s great to have an opportunity to catch up with everyone. Some of the photo department folks I see nearly every week or less, but many others I see much less frequently. So much has changed in such a short amount of time. The growth of the kids in these pictures help mark the passage of time. I hope all those who missed it this year can join us next year.

I’ve been having fun shooting in camera square format black & white with my GF-1, a fresh way to see and compose pictures for my eye. If anyone wants copies of these images, just double-click on the picture to access my archive where you download them for free.

Obama

I couldn’t resist making a few frames of President Obama with my iphone when he was in Rio Rancho back in May of 2009.
