Aspen Wallpapers
We trekked it back home from Colorado yesterday evening, tired from the road, and ready for rest! The week was spent mostly with family, yet the weather cooperated enough that on our hikes and off-road drives through the Rio Grande National Forest I could walk away with some nice images. As evidenced in a previous [...]
Eight Hiking Tips For Photographers
Photographers are often outdoor enthusiasts, and there are a slew of shooters out there that have made successful livings out of their passion for the outdoors and what exists in the natural world. Fortunately, I have been lucky enough to work in this area over the past several years, and I’m never more excited to [...]
Photo of the Day – Bluestem Blues!
During high school, I was part of the plant identification team, and I became fond of bluestem grass. As funny as this sounds, bluestem always seemed like a graceful organism to me, much like the gracefulness of a willow tree. It flows along with the wind in such a way that it seems like a [...]

Looking toward the Spring!
Here’s another archive natural history piece for those of you looking forward to Spring. Taken just outside of Mason, Texas, where the granite rock seemingly grows from the ground everywhere! This particular area of Texas is home to a diverse set of ecosystems, where not only 100 miles away, inklings of the Chihuahuan desert come [...]
Photo of the Day – Devil’s River more calm side
I’ve posted before about the Devil’s River, however, most of those posts include images of Dolan Falls. Dolan Falls is the site of the largest amount of water pouring over a set of boulders, however, no one ever gets to see the other direction, the side of the falls that represents a more serene environment. [...]
Photo of the Day – Big Bend Sky
Take a trip sometime to Big Bend National Park, and you won’t be disappointed in the immense spaces offered to you for just simply getting away! This particular shot was taken off of the park’s river road, a high-clearance road that parallels the Texas/Mexico border. If you get there at the right time of the [...]
Visit Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Texas Magazine
How many national parks does Texas have? Four, not counting the other ten monuments, preserves, historical sites, etc. One of my particular favorite national parks in the state is the Guadalupe Mountains National Park near Dell City, Texas. It’s actually right on the New Mexico/Texas border, in between Carlsbad and El Paso. This park has [...]
Photo of the Day – Llano River Fog
The Llano River approximately 15 miles east of Junction, Texas. This is one of the finest spots on the river, and each Spring, Wyman Meinzer and I take a class of student photographers to visit and shoot the location! It’s always nice when it fogs up! (Canon 5D MkII, 24-105mm f/4 L)
Happy Earth Day!
I want to make a quick Happy Earth Day blog with a photograph of one of the most beautiful vistas I have ever been lucky to see. I’m sure several out there have seen its vast greatness as well! This is about as deep as you can get without hiking in to Big Bend Ranch [...]
A Beautiful Solitude
I said in a previous post it’s been a busy past couple of weeks. The assignment work sort of let up a little, and I was able to do a little driving to catch up on some stock imagery. Knowing that I really needed to strengthen my fall colors stock, I headed to the mountains. [...]
What will happen today?
Election day in the United States of America. This is most definitely not a political post, but I would encourage everyone to go vote if they can and want. Echoing David Hobby over at Strobist, you can’t really justify griping at the next four years if you don’t vote…but then again, it is your right [...]
