The folks at my day job are very busy this time of year working with the Texas legislature in Austin. I went down there recently to check out our new digs just across the street from the Capitol. Our office is eight stories up and gives me a GREAT location to shoot the Capitol Dome [...]

This past weekend as I was driving around looking for some interesting things to photograph, I stopped by Grapevine’s 911 memorial. With the very cool clouds that evening, I decided to take some new shots. I’ve found that going back to shoot locations I’ve shot before can be rewarding, as each day brings with it [...]
