The photographs on this page were made during a shoot with a group of friends in southern Arizona during the first week of April, 2009. It will be updated during the rest of April and into May as these images appear on the site’s home page. Most were shot with a Phase One 645 camera and P65+ back, while a Sony A900 and Fuji F200EXR were also used.

Our group stayed at theCOD Ranch & Retreat. This is owned and operated bySteven Malkin, a friend, and brother ofAlexis Malkinour dear friend who passed away in April from a battle with brain cancer.

TheCOD Ranchis a place to stop, take a breath near one of the most beautiful national forests in the nation, and appreciate one another in a family reunion, a corporate retreat, or a spiritual workshop/conference of any kind. When you’re considering a chance to gather as a family, a spiritual community or your community at work, check out the ranch as a place to get away.
