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 [...]
Today and tomorrow, one of my best friends and colleagues is being honored and inducted into the Texas Heroes Hall of Honor. Over the past decade, I’ve been able to share some great experiences, take part in some life-changing opportunities, and see quite a bit of dashboard time with Wyman Meinzer, and I can’t say [...]
July (well, all winter, spring, and summer) has been an extremely dry period in Texas. It’s so dry that most folks, along with the meteorologists, are saying it’s worse than the Dust Bowl era. I believe it. When I stepped off the plane in Lubbock from my trip to Scotland, the 25+ mile per hour [...]
Each May usually sees me co-teaching a photography course in Junction, Texas, with my good friend, Wyman Meinzer. However, I’m headed to teach in Spain this year, and although it will be a new and fresh environment to lead students, much of my experience in teaching these types of courses comes from working in Junction [...]
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! [...]
One of the more pristine water sources in Texas resides just a short hike up a canyon near Dolan Falls on the Devil’s River. Dolan Creek feeds the Devil’s, much in part from natural seepage from the canyon walls that line its path through acres of wilderness and sparse ranch land. The creek is mostly [...]
I know last month’s desktop calendar featured mountains as well, but I’m jonesing for another pilgrimage to Big Bend soon, and I just couldn’t help it! This particular shot was made of the same range as featured in this post, however, this sunrise slithered across the lower hills on the south side of the Chisos. [...]
This small pasture is right next to the house I grew up in on Meadows Ranch, and with the sun setting, it just simply lights up, glowing gold in stark contrast with the rich blues of the thick layer of clouds the sun happened to sneak under for a minute or two. Although in the [...]
The good folks over at Craft & Vision this week tweeted a request for the best photography tips out there! Needless to say, there are many “best” tips, and there were some great ones provided! I’ll add one more to it. It’s certainly not the “best” tip, but it’s one you should throw in the [...]
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 [...]
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.
