Camera Obscura

Camera Obscura

I’ve been fascinated with pinhole (camera obscura) photography since I built my first pinhole camera out of an oatmeal container way back in high school.  (For those of you keeping score, that was over 30 years ago.)  There is something amazing about how such a tiny pinhole can capture such cool imagery.  What is more…… Continue reading Camera Obscura

One Leaf, Two Leaf

One Leaf Two Leaf

I found this pair of leaves on a rain soaked park bench exactly this way – laying on one other in relative symmetry.  While I did a lot of post-processing, Mother Nature certainly did quite a bit of the set up for me.  I only had to slow down and look around to see it.…… Continue reading One Leaf, Two Leaf

(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

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
