The Book
Tucson is a place of balance and contrast: stillness and energy; roots and heritage mixed with modern visionaries; the strength of the sunlight throwing shadows into starker relief. This volume offers a visual narrative unfolding over four days wandering through the city.
Begin in the bright alleys of Barrio Viejo, following photographer Erica Connolly through secret doors set in whitewashed walls and wander into the eclectic historic charm of Fourth Avenue, with its colorful murals and charming, old-fashioned stores.
The Photographer
Erica’s specialties span editorial photography, branding and portraits, commercial campaigns, boutique group trip documentation and fine art prints—each created with an eye for storytelling and connection. Influenced by her love of exploration and a curiosity for culture, her imagery often conveys a sense of place—where geography, architecture, and light intertwine with the stories of the people who inhabit them.

About the Book
What will you find inside The Weekender – Tucson
From its Indigenous roots to its Spanish heritage and into the present day, Tucson is a creative and complex community, infused with desert spirit. Photographer Erica Connolly invites readers on a visual journey through this unique urban-desert destination, taking in the sweeping landscapes of the hilltop views and mountain outlines to the small and intimate details of Tucson neighborhood life.
Woven together through the quiet, luminous eye of a travel storyteller, Weekender Tucson represents a personal and atmospheric interpretation that bridges the city’s layered heritages, infused with melding adobe, mountainous scenes and splashes of color on the desert-bleached backdrop.
The rhythm of the city is traced by the fleeting blooms of saguaro cacti and succulents in desert gardens, and lines of modern architecture rising beside centuries-old earthy brown adobe traditional structures. Mesquite smoke curls into the evening air as the sun goes down; the desert sky deepens and stars flood the horizon. With its culinary heritage recognized as the first UNESCO City of Gastronomy in the United States, Tucson delights every one of the five senses.
