Getting ready to travel!

I have a trip to New York next week and I am really looking forward to getting back up there to see some old friends. It has certainly been a while. Where does the time go?

Speaking of friends... I was having lunch with my friend Alan and out of the blue in walks an old buddy of ours from the Marine Corps days! It had been probably eight or nine years at least since we has seen Chris, but some things never change.... We picked right up where we had left off and found that Chris will be moving to Texas shortly. Small world....


Take care!

I'm back!

I had been out of town for a few days and I am now starting to catch up around here. For you dragboat folks who ordered prints, I will get them going right away.

Here's a quick shot from my recent trip...

PLEASE NOTE: Cowtown Dragboat images

Just a quick note for anyone interested in the dragboat images: I will be unable to process those orders between the 11th and the 20th. If you are interested in ordering, please understand that your order will be processed as soon as possible. Your order is important to me and I apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you!

Cowtown Nationals are online!

Basic sizes and set-ups are available. If there is something special you want, feel free to drop me a note with the picture number and what you are looking for and I will be in touch to discuss your needs.

Click on the picture to be taken go to the entire gallery!

Thanks!

One hot weekend!

Wow.... It was 100+ both Saturday and Sunday here in Fort Worth. Add to that some dragboats capable of doing 200+ MPH and you really come to understand the word "HOT!"

There were a few times when I was grumbling about the heat, but then I would take a break and hit the lemonade concession and that would help take the edge off. I really felt bad for those racers in their protective gear. That must have been a very uncomfortable wait for their turn at the starting line. Here's a few more from today's races. I will post a link to the complete series in a day or two so please check back.

For those teams that were nice enough to give me a lift with my gear back and forth, you know who you are...THANK YOU!!!

Have a great week everyone!

Off to a good start!

Just a quick post tonight. Spent the day shooting the qualifying rounds of the Cowtown Dragboat Nationals out at Marine Creek Lake. Will likely be out there again tomorrow, maybe I'll see you there!

Another session with Rachel...

Tonight (last night since it's now early morning) I spent a little time in the studio with a great model with whom I worked with a few months ago. Rachel is just great to work with and after just briefly going through some of the shots of the session I thought I would put a couple up here that caught my eye.

We're already talking about plans for some future shoots including one that will show off her new car! We just have to get her to slow down long enough to catch her now!

Speaking of things going fast. We are already into August and with school getting ready to get back in session, now is the time to start thinking about those senior portraits. Whether you are looking for a studio session or at your location or BOTH, drop me a line and I am sure we can put together a package that will work for you.

Thanks for stopping by!

Rut-bustin' with water, milk, and......

Sometimes when you are in a rut you need to try something a little different. I have always been intrigued by these type of shots so I thought I'd give it a whirl. I'm sure I will give it another go sometime because it has a lot of potential for days that it is just too darn hot outside to want to do anything.

All I can say is this. Thank goodness for digital. I would never have tried this with film! Just to get this one took me about 75 exposures.... It was a fun experiement though!!
