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 [...]
Most of Texas would certainly be happy with a little rain right now, even if it brought with it a bit of ferocity! This menacing looking thunderstorm came in during September, 2007, and it was what some folks in this area call a “gullywasher.” We definitely could use a washing of any kind right now! [...]
You can almost consider this the second season of Field Lighting, especially since I haven’t posted one since November of last year! Think of this as a reemergence, then, and since I don’t have to keep some larger portrait projects under wraps anymore, you’ll hopefully see more of these in the near future! The last [...]
If you go back to the very first Field Lighting post, you’ll know that I try to introduce lighting concepts used pragmatically in the field, on assignment. I haven’t strayed too far, and I don’t intend to. Sometimes, it’s nice to revisit some of the more basic lighting concepts, mainly because these “basic” ideas is [...]
This past Sunday was my and Amanda’s first wedding anniversary, and we spent it at the Ironman 70.3 at Buffalo Springs Lake in Lubbock, Texas. To clarify, Amanda (she’s the one smiling, in the pink and blue) participated in the triathlon, and like any proud husband, I went for support…and to take photographs of the [...]
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 [...]
Often times in West Texas, you have to get down real low to avoid high-lines and houses in your shot of the awesome skies we have out here, even if you are in a somewhat remote area. However awesome the skies get though, getting down low sometimes presents its own advantages, like creating perspective in [...]
I love West Texas wine! I had a conversation the other day with a gentleman about a friend of his that was a supposed “wine snob.” You know, one of those folks that will only drink $60+ bottles of imported wines, letting only the “finest” wines indulge his palette. Anyways, said gentleman sent his snobbish [...]
Here’s a thought that is stressed throughout the industry by leading professionals and educators: always have your camera handy! Now, I’m not going to tell you that every successful photog out there always has their camera with them, no matter what, but I will tell you that they have theirs around more often than not. [...]
It’s been a doooooozy of a past couple of weeks, but I can’t complain from any kind of standpoint. Being busy is good. I often read Joe McNally’s blog, as well as Chase Jarvis’s blog, about how busy one can really be in this industry! Talk about a guy that has been busy, especially for the majority [...]
I'm an editorial and natural history photographer based out of Lubbock, Texas, as well as a photography instructor at Texas Tech University.
