November Desktop Calendar: The Coming Winter

Late as usual, but you have to give a guy a break when he’s trying to re-invent his time management. I’m rather fond of this image. I’m especially drawn to the hair-like flow of the dried corn stalk leaves, almost as if they’re ready to bow out for the season. The pivot, a signature characteristic [...]

Photo of the Day: My Backyard

Well, maybe not MY backyard, but it’s what I see every morning while in Scotland. For the next 15 days I’m beginning a new project and touring the glens of Scotland as part of it. There will certainly be further news on the project coming down the pipe, but as for now, I’ll try to [...]

Field Lighting #13: The LIGHT, the LIGHT, the LIGHT!

OK, so at the risk of wearing you thin on the subject in the photographs, I’m going to chronologically detail an evening shoot that serves as the epitome of unique natural light conditions where I live (yes, I wrote the EPITOME, I think it’s the Johnny Winter I’m listening to right now that’s riled me [...]

Throwing Hay (a photo essay) and testing new tools

Throwing Hay, by Jerod Foster from Jerod Foster on Vimeo. I spent some much-needed family time back home over Memorial Day weekend. It was a relaxing intersession between the Junction workshops and getting back to Lubbock, and I found time to shoot a little essay on a facet of ranch work that you might not [...]

Texas Winters do not equal predictable seasons.

That’s right! As most of the nation noticed over the past month, the weather has been seemingly harder on many states, what with all the blizzards and such. Texas is no different, and this Winter is shaping up to be one for the books. I spent a few days on Meadows Ranch, my family’s ranch [...]

Photo of the Day – Cotton Around The Corner

It’s that time of year again, when cotton starts to develop in to what most of us visualize when you mention the crop. Lubbock is central to the greatest amount of cotton production in the U.S., let alone one of the most agriculturally-driven areas in the world. My first internship was with Plains Cotton Cooperative [...]

“Six Days On The Road…” – Carl Montgomery and Earl Green

Well, maybe not quite six days (four is more like it), but close enough. In fact, while on the topic of the song that summarizes truck driving in the U.S., Mudcrutch, Tom Petty’s current band does a bang-up job covering the tune on their self-titled album. I had a small delay in posting, mainly because [...]

Aliens And My Grandfather (would be a cool name for a band!)

Here’s a quick look at what I’m doing when I travel to a shoot. This is me all hunky dory (maybe not hunky, but you know what I mean): This is me when I see something up ahead on the horizon that looks like it may delay me, non-photographically, from my destination (I hate being [...]
