LILY WHITE

Lilium. Heavily cropped but otherwise fairly straight image from my rather new Sony Alpha 6000, meaning I haven’t taken as many pictures with it as I would have liked. I used a heavy Sepia preset in Lightroom, the lighter tone

WEST AUSTIN ANTENNA FARM

Hmmmm…is it antenna, antennas or antennae? For those of us that live in Austin, the West Austin Antenna Farm is an ever-present site. While I wouldn’t call it a landmark, it is definitely a point of reference. The West Austin

BARTON CREEK GREENBELT

A picture that I’ve grown to like after some time. I grabbed it one humid morning during a ride through the Barton Creek Greenbelt trail in Austin. I spend more time on my road bikes so even a short run

STRAW HAT, NEW CAMERA

I picked up a new camera last October, a Sony Alpha 6000. I wanted something small. I have a DSLR that I found myself leaving at home when I went anywhere. Even when I did have it with me, I

ALIEN

The figure (top center, left window pane) in the window is someone installing new windows in our home. It’s out of focus, which worked well. I took the picture quickly, before my camera phone figured out what was going on.

LLANO ESTACADO PUMP JACK

Pump jacks, or grasshoppers, are a common site in Texas. I live in Austin, where they are not as abundant but as you head west their presence increases. This photograph was made near Post, Texas in Garza County, just southeast

GUADALUPE RIVER

This is an older photograph but it holds a certain amount of pride for me, it’s the first photograph I had published in a book. The book was titled “Texas On A Roll, Images of Texas by Texas Photographers“. It

NORITSU NIRVANA

Scans have been hit or miss for me with 35mm film. The scans I’ve made of 120, 4×5 and 8×10 negatives and transparencies look wonderful. The only way I can describe the problem is that the 35mm scans don’t look

THE POWER OF LIGHT

This is another image that made me stop while driving. I’m still in work-print stage as I think the file can be tweaked further to improve the sky and foreground. The fence was that white and it’s what caught my

ARCHER CITY AND ANARENE

I’ve always been intrigued by Archer City, Texas. It’s a small town (1,848 population) in north central Texas about one hour south of the Oklahoma border. Oil country. Cattle country. My wife’s family is from Olney, just 19 miles southwest
