Tortilla Lady
The “Tortilla Lady” was photographed during a trip to the town of San Antonino Castillo Velasco, located just south of the city of Oaxaca.
People & Lifestyles
People and lifestyles.
Killcatherine Church
I photographed Killcatherine Church and Cemetery during a trip to the Beara Peninsula in the summer of 2017.
Old Irish Home
I photographed this Old Irish Home after viewing it from the Waterville Golf Links during a trip to the Southwestern part of Ireland.
Fort Niagara
I had the opportunity to visit Fort Niagara during a visit to the area. The fort has great architecture and it is a great place to visit.
Fossil Art
I encountered this fossil art while photographing the sunset in the Hall of Horrors area of Joshua Tree National Park.
Portrait Photography
Most of you know that I’m more comfortable photographing landscapes than people so it took quite an effort to go into portrait photography.
Band Photo
My friend Sam Pace invited me to photograph a band photo during a recording session for their new album. I captured this one during a break.
Sunset Photographer
I photographed this sunset photographer during my visit to Howard Murph Memorial Park during my recent trip to Rockport, Texas.
Austin 360
This photograph of the Goat Cheese and Beet appetizer from Barley Swine in Austin, TX was posted in the Austin 360 food section last Friday.
Happy New Year – 2017
Happy New Year! May 2017 bring you all great memories, joy, health and happiness. I look forward to sharing my work in the year ahead.
Best of 2016 – Austin Live Music
I photographed Sam playing his Gibson guitar one night while I was downtown photographing the Austin Live Music scene.
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving! I photographed the ice rink at Millennium Park in Chicago using a photography technique to remove people from a photo.
All Souls’ Day
Happy “All Souls’ Day”! I always find this time of year interesting. I spotted this neon sign in a window of a downtown Austin establishment.
Swimming at Lou Neff Point
Meet Luis! Luis decided to go swimming at Lou Neff Point at the same time I decided to photograph the Austin skyline at sunset.
Guitar Player
This photograph of Sam Pace, a guitar player, was taken as part of a request to assist him in the graphic design work for t-shirts and posters.
Jacal Milky Way
One of my favorite activities of our annual spring trip to the Big Bend National Park is night sky photography. It is part of our grueling, 5-day schedule.
Holga
I took this photo in 1997 when a friend of mine, who was very instrumental in my photography journey, was visiting along with his daughter Anne.
Harmonica Player
I posted an image of Patrick the Bass Player two days ago. The image below of Kevin, the Harmonica player, is the second image from that same photo shoot.
Bass Player
I got a message from a band leader that I previously photographed. He asked if I would come over and photograph the band while they recorded a music video.
Whole
I you have not been to the Whole Foods flagship store in Austin you have missed a great experience. The store is by far the best grocery store in the country.
Fishing
This is another sunset image from Rockport, TX. I noticed this couple fishing and I thought their shiloutted bodies against the sunset made for a good photo.
B-cycles
The City of Austin undertook an initiative to increase bicycle ridership in the metropolitan area. The Austin B-cycle system in the image is part of that plan.
The Photographer
This sunset photograph was taken in a park near the Rockport airport called Howard Murph Memorial Park. The photographer in the image below is John Martell.
Pele
I went on a Photowalk of downtown Austin late one evening. I was able to capture a variety of images including Pele and his master the “Street Musician”.
Photowalking
Photowalking is the act of walking with a camera for the main purpose of taking pictures of things that the photographer may find interesting.
Rhythm
The lead guitar player is responsible for the melodic tune and for the general sound. The drummer’s role is to make sure everyone stays in rhythm.
Sax Player
Next in my “Austin Live Music” series is a sax player that was part of a small band. I love playing the Sax but it’s an instrument I never mastered.
Window View
The artist in this “Window View” photograph is Sam Pace. He’s one of many very talented Austin musicians that are looking for their big opportunity.
Esther’s
Welcome to a new category – Street Photography. I have been wanting to try this new area for some time. Esther’s Follies was my first stop.
Zildjian
This is the second post in my Austin Live Music series. The first one featured a guitar player with his Gibson SG. The image below is of a Zildjian cymbal.
Live
Austin is the “Live Music Capital of the World”. So, I decided to conduct a photowalk through Austin’s live music district to find bands to photograph.
Tunnel
I mentioned in a prior post titled “Homeless” that Austin is homeless-friendly. I ventured out to photograph when I encountered a homeless lady in a tunnel.
Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson, one of our founding fathers, principal author of the Declaration of Independence, member of Congress, Secretary of State and the third President of the United States (1801–1809). Wow, what a resume!
Stevie
This image was taken on the south bank of “Town Lake” (which is really a river) near the statute of one of our famous musicians, Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Homeless
I was part of a photowalk in downtown Austin in the spring of 2012. Our first stop was the Long Center for the Performing Arts where we met a homeless man.
Frozen
Many people describe Cuba as a country frozen in time. This is evident by the large number of vintage vehicles on the roads, many in pristine condition.
No Photo for You
There is a place in Old Havana called the Plaza de la Catedral. It is here where you will find many Cuban Cigar Ladies posing for pictures. For me though, it was “No Photo for You”.
Paladar Menu
One thing that can be said about Cuban society is that they have an incredible ability to adapt. Cuba was highly dependent on the Soviet Union. This all came to an abrupt halt with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Safari Trophy
Hemingway was a big game hunter and frequently traveled to Africa on safari. As I toured his home in Havana (by viewing through the open windows) I could not help but notice this guy on the wall.
Hemingway’s Other Office
Ernest Hemingway was a famous author. In 1939, he moved to Cuba where he was adopted by the community. This was evident when I visited Cuba in 2014.
Cat Nap
The other day I posted a story about the Sleeping Cowboy and the story about the Campfire Cowboy and my encounter with Lea Jones back in the summer of 1999.
Sleeping Cowboy
I recently posted a story about the Campfire Cowboy and the an encounter I had with Lea Jones (Gila Wilderness Outfitter) at the Blue Front Cafe in Glenwood NM back in the summer of 1999.
Campfire Cowboys
I made a trip to eastern Arizona / western New Mexico. I stopped in to have lunch at the Blue Front Cafe in Glenwood NM where I met Lea Jones.
