Howdy Phoenix! Lomography is coming to you!

On this day, 130 years ago, one of the legendary events known to the Old West took place in Arizona. Let us step back in time and relive the infamous shootout between the Earp brothers and the Clanton-McLaury gang in OK Corral.

Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona is the perfect place to take an LC-A and some Redscale XR film.

All great adventures require a copilot. Somebody who can watch your back and tell you when things are a little dicey or out of hand. A pal, friend and lover. That’s why I married her. My wife, Beth, is my most important Lomo Person.

Arcosanti is a colony in Central Arizona devoted to building and testing the concept of "arcology". The worthiness and success of arcology is a matter for debate. What is beyond debate however, is that it is an awesome opportunity to shoot a few rolls when you're in the southwest. Take a look at this futuristic throwback and tell me what you think.

In between one of the wonders of the world and one of America's most quaint western cities is a roadside attraction that has something for fans of pop culture and a whole lot more for those who are into analogue photography. Just spend a day in Bedrock City, and surely it will have you saying Yabba Dabba Lomo!

Before a long day of shooting you need fuel and there's a great restaurant in Phoenix where you can get breakfast and shoot a few rolls. Take a trip to the Arcadia district and visit Over Easy to experience a meal fit for the analogue lifestyle.

One of the 7 natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon is a location that you must visit. As part of our roadtrip through Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona, one of our major stops was the Grand Canyon. This was my second trip to the great landmark (my first was as a kid). The first time I visited as a child I did not appreciate what I was seeing.

Nestled in southwest Phoenix is the home of Don Parks. Don has been collecting stuff since 1971 and he wants to show off his amazing collection to intrepid Lomographers. If you think you're a packrat, you're in for a major surprise at Don Park's home!

On a recent vacation (which was not my first choice of vacation destinations), I chanced upon the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch Gilbert, Arizona, which is a beautiful sanctuary in the middle of the city. It certainly blew me away!

Twin Arrows is an abandoned gas station in Northern Arizona that is one of the most easily identifiable landmarks along Historic Route 66. The giant arrows, crumbling buildings and high desert views make for a great opportunity.

This little photographic jewel is a bumpy drive and a long, hot hike in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, near the border of Arizona and Utah. You can only get in by winning one of the twenty daily permits by lottery, but it will please the hell out of the inner workings of your cameras.

Building the dam was hot, dirty and often dangerous work, but more than 20,000 men were happy to be working on the Hoover Dam, the biggest dam project in the world when it was completed.

Thanks to those useless viewfinders, Lomography cameras produce some of my favourite mistakes.

This is not only a Zoo, but a park with several ponds, a dog park, little league baseball fields, Colorado Rockies practice field, golf course, tennis courts and public art centre (including public darkrooms). Yes folks this is the ultimate Lomographic location. You can go see the exotic animals in the zoo and later go to the ponds and feed the aquatic fowl. Pay a buck or two and take a little train ride around the park while your dog plays with more of its own species in the dog park. Pause for a chat with the old man with the metal detector searching for rare tokens and other precious metals. When you're done, head to the dark room to reveal what your camera thinks that you need to take home as memories. There is so much to do here that you can certainly revisit again and again.
