I am from San Diego, California and I have many friends and family that still live there. A lot of people I know from San Diego have never been to Tucson before. I get comments from them such as “You only have cacti in Arizona” or “Isn’t all desert and rocks there?”. I wanted to do my documentary on beautiful tree pictures to show those people Tucson is not all desert and cacti, we also have palm trees and other beautiful trees here as well. My audience is people who have never been to Tucson and have pre conceived notions that we do not have much plant life or trees. I think my pictures capture many different types of trees that are all different sizes and are uniquely beautiful. I took assorted photos of either multiple trees together or a single tree alone to show the diversity we have here. I do not believe Tucson gets enough credit for its scenery so I tried to capture it through interesting tree pictures. While taking my pictures and editing them I choose the appropriate way to edit them to make them most effective and took into consideration lighting, color and texture.
