(Extra)Ordinary

Afternoon Bath

There are days – many days actually – as an artist where I can’t seem to find the inspiration to create and everything seems quite ordinary.  It could be the weather, it could be lack of sleep (although that is almost a constant), it could be any number of things.  Whatever the reason, the camera stays…… Continue reading (Extra)Ordinary

Think (Again)

Vintage Microphone Painted

“Everything has been thought of before, but the problem is to think of it again.” — Goethe As a photographer and artist, I’m always trying new things, new techniques, and new equipment so I can continue to improve on what I have done and perhaps create something not done before.  Or at least, create something…… Continue reading Think (Again)

Snapshot to Photograph

A lot goes into creating a photograph.   Certainly knowing your equipment inside and out, making sure your settings are correct for the subject, getting what needs to be in focus IN focus, are big parts of making a photo.  Then there is this from National Geographic photographer, Jim Richardson, “If you want to be a…… Continue reading Snapshot to Photograph

Dreamland

Cafe Winter Solstice

I had a recurring dream when I was a kid. It was night.  I was totally alone in a small hilltop village square, cobblestones beneath my feet.The street lamps were bright and the storefronts were lit up.  In the center of the square stood a small kiosk with a clock.  It was still and quiet…… Continue reading Dreamland

Thoughts for the New Year

At the start of each New Year, I invariably think about goals for the days, weeks and months ahead. While I don’t actually make resolutions (I find I don’t keep them anyway), I do strive to try new things, stop doing things I shouldn’t, and generally look for new avenues to grow and learn. With…… Continue reading Thoughts for the New Year

Texas A&M University Century Oak

The Century Oak

I was born and raised in Texas and spent 12 years of my life in College Station, Texas.  I consider it my hometown even though I was born in Baytown.  I went to high school (A&M Consolidated Tigers) and college there.  I miss the town, the campus of Texas A&M, and certainly the people -…… Continue reading Texas A&M University Century Oak

Lost and Alone

Lost and Alone

I often wonder what stories these old abandoned homes could tell.   This particular home we found on a country road between Montello and Princeton, Wisconsin.  I saw it and immediately had to pull over, grab my camera and tripod and set up to take the shot.    For some reason, an old John Denver…… Continue reading Lost and Alone
