This is an image from my latest trip to Big Bend National Park with my friend, Alex Suarez. We decided to do a photographers trek without kids so that we could shoot with minimal distractions. As usual, we had great weather, it being Spring Break. The Lost Mine Trail was a 1200 ft. climb but [...]
I was recently in Austin and did some night shooting with my good friends Brian and Alex. Brian, Alex, and I have been shooting together since the early 1980s when we all attended Houston’s High School for the Performing and Visual Arts together.
We decided to do some night photography and I wanted to go to [...]
I bought myself a fisheye lens with my Christmas money this year. As a bit of a wide angle nut, it seemed like a logical choice. I am still working on visualizing with it but in the mean time I am having a lot of fun playing with its possibilities (probably too much fun, actually).
This [...]
This is one of those great buildings that just reflects the world around it. In this case I was blessed with some dramatic clouds that really enhanced the photo. I’m sure I could go back and reshoot this building and get a totally different picture depending on the quality of the sky on that particular [...]
This is another image from my Yosemite expedition and is yet another example of the amazing light of that place. As a photographer, I’ve become a student of light and that helps me recognize the different colors that nature is likely to provide to me. One of the advantages of specializing is that you can [...]
I made the pilgrimage to Yosemite National Park. An experience I recommend to any photographer. I was amazed at the number of pictures I was able to get in just 12 hours (I am still going through them). I have a new appreciation for the work of Ansel Adams. It really helps when you live [...]
I finally got back downtown to do some shooting on a decent day this weekend. I really like the Continental Airlines Building because it looks different from every angle. Other shots I’ve taken of it look like this:
And this:
One of the keys to successful architectural photography is finding unusual angles and this building has plenty [...]
I really liked the texture in the worn wood of this odd-looking sculpture in front of the Brazos Valley Center in Bryan, Texas. I was there for the Lone Star Art Guild Show.
It’s a funny thing about black-and-whites. Typically, only other photographers appreciate them. I never have much luck with them in non-photographer-judged shows, like [...]
This is one of my more recent architectural photos. I really like going into downtown Houston and trying to figure out new ways of looking at the buildings under varying lighting conditions. In this case. the rippling reflection of the Wells Fargo building in the Reliant Energy building caught my eye as I was crossing [...]
This image was taken the first evening we were in the Davis Mountains. The state park there has a road that goes to the top of a small hill that offers a dramatic view of the valley in which Fort Davis lies. What really struck me about this trip to the Davis Mountains was the [...]
