This last weekend I met a really fun 83 year old cowboy outside Wimberley, Texas while teaching a photo workshop. His name is Jack Glover, but I like calling him "Cowboy Jack". As it turned out Cowboy Jack is Will Rogers cousin. At 83 , he had some wonderful stories from his life to share.... Continue Reading →
One of the stories I've followed throughout much of career as a photojournalist was Serial Killer Henry Lee Lucas. I was there the day they found the remains of his first victim while working for the Dallas Times Herald and later would be put into his jail cell to shoot photos a couple of times...

My wife and I have lived in one of the most affluent neighborhoods in Austin for the past 13 years. Most of our friends and family, including myself, have believed the popular teaching that God wants us to have everything we want. I had believed He desired us to live in materialistic prosperity. Materialism filled... Continue Reading →
With so much loss in the news these days, many of us are reminded of our own losses and find ourselves reliving them to one degree or another. As we watch the news of the recent outbreak of tornadoes, some of us find tears rolling down our cheeks as we see others suffering. It's funny... Continue Reading →
This row boat photo reminds me of a couple of fishermen Leslie and I admire greatly; Louis and Dinah DeLuca! These two are true walking warriors for Christ who have endured much. Not ones to talk about the good Christians should be doing, rather just themselves doing it. It's all about others, not themselves. Just... Continue Reading →
I first met Bhim Monger two years ago after he arrived in Austin as a refugee from Nepal along with about 300 others, brought here by the United Nations as a way to help them start a new life. In fact, many cities in the U.S. have opened their arms to these people from multiple... Continue Reading →
Growing up as a teen, I used to love to head to the beach with my friends to surf most weekends. Some of the fondest memories I have in my life are from those days. To this day I still wear my Vans everyday and I'm a sucker for a good surf movie. Night before... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite countries to visit is Israel. For four months I had the privilege of serving Rabbi Dr. Harold Liebowitz as his photographer on an archeology expedition in the Yavnel Valley. After five long dirty days living like prairie dogs, each week, from Friday evenings until Sunday nights, we all would head off... Continue Reading →
Through the years, I've had the fortune of meeting and shooting a few country performers. All of them have been class acts and great people to work with. One of my all time favorites is Charlie Daniels! Most young folk don't know who I'm talking about until I mention his great hit "The Devil Went... Continue Reading →
Prison Fellowship is such an incredible ministry and I have felt so fortunate to work on a few projects for them over the years. Back in the late 90's after hearing about prison units in Brazil and Ecuador which were 100% Christian having less than a 20% recidivation rate, newly elected Governor of Texas, George...

Learning to trust God has been one of the hardest processes for me since giving my life to Jesus back in 1985. It seems like we all have been taught through many of life's curve balls to not trust anyone or anything. At least that has been the case for me. I do have trust... Continue Reading →
As those who know me, know that I love a good laugh. Growing up, our house was filled with laughter much of the time as us kids would listen from other rooms as my mom and her friends would write scripts for TV shows and a few theater productions. My eyeballs would bolt open to... Continue Reading →
