I told a good friend the other day that you know the oppressive heat and the longstanding drought in the southwest United States is starting to really become a problem when folks that aren’t start talking about the weather like farmers. These types of things do indeed affect not only the land and fauna, but [...]
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! [...]
What’s the start of the season that reinvigorates life without a symbolic visual representation? In all actuality, this shot really does embody all that the new season comes roaring in with in tow. The storm has passed over, the wonderfully warm evening light appears, and a rainbow spreads across the sky and in striking contrast [...]
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 [...]
On a trip back to west Texas from the Dallas/Fort Worth area, my wife and I ran through a fairly substantial thunderstorm. We were met with a glowing sunset and immediately swallowed up by a wave of rain. We made our way down the highway, and just after dark set in, we were clear of [...]
Rolando Gomez from Lens Diaries wrote at the beginning of this month about the significance Rembrandt lighting for portraits, from the classics all the way up to today’s digitally rendered photographs. His post reminded me of my recent trip to the Denver Art Museum and its collection of impressionist art from the likes of Picasso [...]
I can’t emphasize enough paying attention to light! It is, after all, what we photographers work with. I drove in from a 1,000+ mile trip full of photoshoots this past weekend, and ended up coming home to a massive thunderstorm. So, I stopped off at the house to drop a few things off, and then [...]
Amanda and I are headed to Charleston, South Carolina for one of my best friend’s wedding this weekend, and on our way to Dallas (driving to Dallas to fly out makes more sense sometimes than from Lubbock, I know…), we ran through a building thunderstorm. The images aren’t anything to write home about, but living [...]
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. [...]
I'm an editorial and natural history photographer based out of Lubbock, Texas, as well as a photography instructor at Texas Tech University.
