Like the sun-baked buildings that dot the desert landscape, the inhabitants of Globe and Miami, Arizona, survive gracefully, showing their age. The two cities live next to each other huddled in the hills. The heat that punishes Phoenix spares the high desert. In the Hill Country of Central Arizona, residents find themselves at a crossroads between national trends and their desire to control and define their community. Taken during the summer of 1995 (except for second photo), these photographs reveal an America still rural and conservative.

Chicano Photographer is a book and exhibition project that documents Chicano/as during the 70s. For this project I photographed a broad spectrum of social and political events and activities. The images that constitute Chicano Photographer reflect the wide range of issues, artists, activists, and extraordinary people of this important period. Please feel free to send me your comments or go to my web site at http://www.jmmgarza.com. You can also email me at garza@jmmgarza.com or call (909) 557-7151. I look forward to hearing from you.

Despite the fires that seem to continually ravage the Joshua Tree National Park (near Palm Springs, CA USA), a beauty still persists. This small series was taken the summer of 2006. The photos were captured using only a modest point-and-shoot Canon digital camera. By the way, the soil temperature at the park was a sizzling 200 degrees. Using only my small camera, I explored the natural beauty of the park. I plan to come back soon and take more pictures with a more professional camera.
