A spring-like day in February
5:17 PM , February 29, 2012 1

Today has been just lovely. Temperature in the mid 70s and sunny. Is this February? Really? I just had to get out at lunch, so I went over by Airfield Falls in Fort Worth and snapped a couple of shots. Midday is not the best time to shoot outdoors, but I took a couple that [...]

One more composite from Sci-Fi Expo

I don’t know the name of this creature, but I really loved the costume. I put it in a forest setting, as I think it looks like some kind of alien witch doctor. Enjoy.

A Quick Shot For Today

I apologize for the lack of entries on my blog the past week and a half. I’ve been fairly busy and I’ve had a sinus infection which sapped my energy by five o’clock everyday. Just so I get one post in this week, here’s a shot of one of my client’s offices in Big D. [...]

Sci-Fi Expo - Andorian Girl

Here’s another composite image from last weeks Sci-Fi Expo in Irving, Texas. I decided she should be in a school type setting, thus the blue interior. Here’s the before shot. The little girls makeup was spot on, as was her mom’s.

SciFi fun in Irving

This weekend, my wife and I enjoyed going to the SciFi Expo in Irving, Texas. It was a total geek fest for me. Got to see some of the cast of Firefly, bought some great geeky stuff and enjoyed seeing all the folks in costume. I took my camera and snapped a couple of shots. [...]

Stairway to the bath

I shot this image in one of the bathhouses in Hot Springs, Arkansas. These bathhouses are a wonderful trip back in time to the roaring twenties. This makes me think, with a new century, what will the upcoming twenties be called? They will have to be special to out do the nineteen twenties. Flappers, millionaires, [...]

How I created the Ultra-Detailed Portraits
10:54 AM , February 7, 2012 1

Over the past several days, I’ve received several inquiries to how I created the ultra-detailed portraits that I posted earlier on my blog. I’ve decided that the only way to answer these folks is to create a tutorial on just how I created these shots. First thing let me say that I have never created [...]

Morning at work
3:55 PM , February 6, 2012 0

Mondays are always a bit hard for me as it is for the majority of working people. I was the first one to my office this morning, which is rare. As I was walking up to our building it struck me just how nice the sky was this morning. I immediately whipped out my camera [...]

Sunrays over Texas
9:45 PM , February 2, 2012 0

This week has been a busy one for me. Part of that busyness was a day trip to Austin to shoot some portraits for my day job. I was also able to walk two blocks over from our Austin office to the State Capitol and grab a few architectural shots. Granted the timing wasn’t ideal, [...]

Ultra-Detailed Portraits
7:08 AM , February 1, 2012 2

I love detail. Lot’s of it. But with portraits I have to tone it down a little. I’ve usually taken more of a glamour approach to portraits. That all changed this week. We are creating a new web site at my day job. Part of the new site is to create short bios of all [...]
