While Tempe is a great place for a portrait session (the lake at sunset, Mill Ave. at night, the upside down triangle building (Tempe City Hall?), etc.), I can now suggest one very cool place not to go. I was recently doing an engagement session there and had planned on shooting a few different places. After playing around the lake for a little while, I thought "Hey, why don't we go shoot up on the old bridge." Old yes, but that train bridge is still active. We managed to get a few good shots in before the cop came and once we were firmly in his custody, back on the street, Mr. Officer got on his radio. "This is Mr. Officer, you can start the train back up." My heart stopped. I had no idea that was still an active track and certainly would not have put my couple in harms way on purpose. But, sure enough, as we were being cited for criminal trespassing, the train rolled past. I felt like a 15 year old being busted for skateboarding again. Thankfully, we weren't on the new light rail track, that would have landed all of us in JAIL. Erin and Dave, sorry again. At least we have a great story.
