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, [...]
Actually, it really doesn’t take much for a muley like this to hide. I just happened to spook it while doing some wind turbine shooting yesterday for a design house in Lubbock. To be completely honest, it really spooked me, seeing as how it jumped up about ten feet from my path and bounded off [...]
I neglected my blog for a few days, and I figured everyone was tired of looking at my mug on the opening page of the site. So, in an effort to rectify any visual damage I’ve caused you, I thought I would throw Earl up on display! In fact, Earl was one of my first [...]
I use a similar photograph to the one above to stress to my students how important focus is in a photograph. I was looking through some photographs from years past the other day, and I ran across the set of images this one originates from, and I couldn’t help remembering how a three-day run at [...]
It’s been a little while for a Field Lighting post, but I have a few in the bag. Assignment work and research has been keeping me away, and it looks like it’s just going to get heavier in the near future, but hopefully I can squeeze in a few remnants of my existence on the [...]
Owls are one of those special creatures that you just don’t see much of (me included), and it’s a shame, because they are one of the most beautiful, graceful birds I have ever seen/photographed. Although I’ve spent much more time photographing Barn Owls, I enjoy this photograph of an early morning Great Horned Owl perched [...]
I was skimming through some images in my archive from a while back, and I happened across this one of a gray fox I photographed while helping Wyman Meinzer at a photo workshop at Cibolo Creek Ranch. The resort/ranch is located due south of Marfa, Texas, in the Big Bend (a jewel of the desert, [...]
I’m nearly out from under a series of assignments for this year, but just to make a quick “Hey, I’m still around” appearance on the blog, I’m offering this image taken a couple winters ago as a free desktop wallpaper (just right click and save the image to your hard-drive). I blogged about this image [...]
It’s getting to be that time of year again, when the fall brings everything that does not bloom to life! Many a photographer would say this is their favorite time of the year, and I would have to agree. There’s something nice about fall light, and in West Texas, it has a certain uniqueness to [...]
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.
