Your Bio

We are Ben and Ashlee Pearson, a husband/wife team of photographers. Ashlee is also a very talented artist, especially in colored pencil sketches, and we post her work here frequently. We live in Tucson, Arizona, and enjoy photographing the many wonders in Southern Arizona.

We hope our art can beautify your home, office, or other location. Each of our pictures are printed by Bay Photo, which Smugmug has researched and declared the best professional photo printer on the internet. We take pride in making each picture perfect for your enjoyment! These pictures represent travels around the Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona, wildlife, zoos, and even more exotic travel locations. Ashlee's artwork includes drawings of many fabulous things, including fantastic settings, cats, fairies, and Christ pictures, done in colored pencil sketches. All of our pictures are available for download, in either personal or commercial use licenses. We hope you enjoy!

Note that while most images on this site include a watermark, none of them will include anything when they are printed out, nor downloaded.

2009 daily pictures : A year in pictures, starting April 24, 2009. In an attempt to improve my photography, and keep a time history of it, then I'm putting this together. I hope it will inspire me to continue. I hope to post a picture here that I've at least taken recently, if not the previous day (I'm going to try to upload the next days the day before). I'd take a picture every day, but, well, I have a full time job outside of photography, not to mention I'm a graduate student... 

I've only been getting serious at photography for about the last 6 months, mostly through hearing about it in podcasts I listen to, and having a wife whose an artist. As I'm an engineer, well, I needed to have a more creative side to have more in common with her, and so I decided to give it a shot. I went a few times with a friend who is hard core into photography, and he taught me how to use a DSLR. I got my own (Used Canon 20d), and have been having fun since.

Normally I only do contrast editing and cropping, but occasionally I'll have a desire to play with other things. I'm sure from time to time you'll see me venture into that realm. I'd like to learn more about such tools, and hope to get to learning all kinds of fun things.

Often times I had a hard time choosing just one, and posted alternatives to my "Almost Dailies" gallery, seen at http://www.pearsonartphoto.com/gallery/8077136_NyPDu .

Please leave a comment if you like the photo or have ideas on how to improve it. Thanks!
