I shot the photo of this Northern White Rhino in Glen Rose, Texas while working on an assignment for National Geographic-World. he is one of only about 10 left worldwide. To this day I wonder how Noah managed to actually get the rhinos into the... Continue Reading →
Years ago while shooting an assignment in Colorado I was stopped in my tracks by the most beautiful scene I have ever seen. I was moved to tears as I marveled at Gods incredible creation.

I recently taught a wildflower photography workshop and shot this photo at one of our locations. Later when I pulled this photo up to edit, Â it really reminded me of our coming resurrection with many of the flower stems shooting towards the heavens.

There's nothing like arriving to the beach to find tons of seaweed washed up where you hoped to be swimming...unless you plan on just taking beautiful photos:) This photo reminds me of a sermon I once heard.

As I write this, my kind wife is driving us to Houston to take down a show I've had up for a month. I've been noticing the wildflowers are starting to make their way out and blooming everywhere. Spring has always been a season that reminds me to bloom where I am planted. Before I... Continue Reading →
I just shot this image last year outside Capulin, New Mexico. It seems like just about every time I pass through that part of New Mexico there is a gnarly-looking storm brewing on the horizon. As I shot the photo, I began to think about having to drive though it when I was done. Immediately,... Continue Reading →
