Results from my lame attempt at portrait photography
4:53 PM , November 27, 2011 3

Thanksgiving was great this year. No drama. No fights. Just good family time with food, football and fun. And photos. I surprised our family with a make shift photo setup in the garage of my in-laws. My thought being that I’d grab of few shots of everyone this year that didn’t have junk in the [...]

My lame attempt at people photography
12:08 PM , November 22, 2011 0

As some of you know, I don’t really do portraiture. People just aren’t my thing when it comes to photography. I am much more comfortable shooting mountains, buildings, forrest, churches, sunsets, etc. Why? I don’t know really, other than I get pretty uptight when someone is in front of my camera. I feel like I’m [...]

This Sunday, my daughter Ellion and I went on a mini-photo walk in Carrolton’s Old Town Square. Honestly, I thought this would have been a great location, but it actually was a disappointment. The square lacked the character of other similar squares in Texas. I did manage to get one shot that I like. It’s [...]

As part of my fiftieth birthday celebration weekend, my daughter and I attended Star Wars FanDays in Irving today. As big a nerd as I am, I’ve never attended a SciFi Convention until now. As far as these types of gatherings go, this one is fairly small. But that didn’t matter. I LOVED it. There’s [...]

Hunting Lions? No, Lines.

This weekend I went with my youngest daughter on a sort of photo safari. She’s taking photography in college and her professor gave her an assignment to capture lines. The catch—no perspective. She had to be parallel to the lines. Well I thought this was a great assignment and decided to tag along. We had [...]

Happy Sunday to everyone. I hope your day has been a restful one. My Sunday definitely has been a full today. The day started with a jog and walking Emma the wonder dog. Then we were off to church. The featured image today is of our church — First United Methodist Church of Grapevine. I [...]

Continuing my birthday theme from yesterday, here’s a shot of Arielle, now 22, at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. It was beautiful and COOL, unlike our sweltering 100 degree heat wave we are in now. Happy weekend to everyone, all two of you who follow this thing I do.

My girls at Bear Lake

Here’s another shot from our little walk around Bear Lake. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you make your own luck. This shot is a bit of both. I had the girls sit on this bench thinking it would be a cute shot, but I didn’t realize until I snapped it that I was getting [...]

Photography conquers fear of heights
10:17 PM , July 5, 2011 1

I’m a big chicken when it comes to heights. Just thinking about certain high places can make my palms break out in a sweat. So, when my wife and daughter wanted to walk across the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado I quickly said “NO”. Then my palms started to sweat. My wife and daughter didn’t [...]
