This is an early 2010 view southwest from atop "A Mountain" in Tempe. It was sunrise, and the moon hadn't yet set. It's not Phoenix, but I can see you from here.
The countdown to Best of Phoenix continues! Last year, we profiled 100 Creatives who made a mark on the local arts scene. This year, we'll have 100 creative representations of Phoenix. No scope or requirement on medium or size -- we'll include photography, painting, sculpture, video, installation, literary, and more. What do you see when you Imagine PHX?
