We’re just going through our first real cold spell on the Southern High Plains, and with it we see Fall slowly making its exit and the doldrums of Winter to take its place. That’s not to say that photography during the Winter in West Texas is lacking activity–quite the opposite. The commotion generally just turns [...]
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 [...]
I can’t believe it’s been nearly three weeks since my last post, but the absence has certainly been warranted. Work is steady, the visual subject matter certainly hasn’t lacked any interest, and I’ve been staring at a computer screen so much over the past three months that I’m probably going to need to visit an [...]
July is a nice month to reflect on earlier times of the summer. It’s brutally hot, we’ve barely received enough rain to settle the dust in the air, and the wind zaps the energy out of you the moment it picks up. It’s a great time, however, for getting quite a bit of work done [...]
Sandhill Cranes may be my favorite bird to see in flight. Those slender necks and expansive wings set back on their bodies make for an impressive shape taking to the sky. We’re fortunate in West Texas to play host to thousands upon thousands of these migratory animals, as well as a couple species of geese, [...]
Every couple of weeks or so I’m going to start featuring an image I pull from the archive that, for lack of a better way to say it, excites me and one that harkens special meaning for me. I’m calling this portfolio of sorts Finding Favorites, because each time I go through my files for [...]
The past month has seen me shooting more landscape and natural history pieces for clients than portraits, and it’s been a healthy shift for a bit. Sometimes, these breaks or changes in assignments can be just what you need to create more effectively later! On a more recent feature shoot with a local artisan, I [...]
Running right on time (for this blog at least), the December desktop calendar! Pastel colors are hard to pass up in a nice New Mexican sunset, especially over a fresh coating of snow. Enjoy! Large: 2400 X 1600 Laptop: 1440 X 960 iPad: 1024 X 1024 iPhone: 960 X 640
I can never complain about being busy, and I don’t intend to start here. It’s just no excuse, though, for getting the calendar up late. I mean, how am I supposed to even know what day it is… These lone Live Oak trees stand sentinel to the rolling plains of the big ranch country between [...]
One evening, after a long day of shooting in the Texas Hill Country, we sat down next to an outdoor fire pit set just right off the prettiest stretch of the Llano River I’ve ever seen. The land belongs to Bill Worrell, an incredible southwest painter and sculpture. Bill sat down next to the fire [...]
I'm an editorial and natural history photographer based out of Lubbock, Texas, as well as a photography instructor at Texas Tech University. My work primarily focuses on features and environmental portraits for magazines, books, and commercial purposes, and I'm available for both domestic and international travel.
I'm a regular contributor to the Manfrotto School of Xcellence, an educational resource for amateurs and professionals alike. I'm also a partner and editor for Badlands Design and Production, a publishing house that focuses on high-end coffee table photography books.
