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 →
This photo and storms like this always remind me of when I had just graduated from high school in the 70's, I decided to take a break from school and work for a year before going to college. I always like working with my hands, so I got a construction job. Now, in Houston, Texas,... Continue Reading →
On one of my visits to the Big Island to Guest Teach at YWAM's University of the Nations, I picked up a book left in my room called God Is That Really You? Written by Loren Cunningham, Founder of YWAM. The read is the story of how YWAM came about and it's early trials. In... 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 →
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. It still ranks to this day as one of the best sermons I've ever heard. That could be... 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 →
On one assignment for National Geographic World Magazine, I was privileged to shoot a story on Cheetahs. Wildlife is my favorite subject to shoot. I was actually a Wildlife and Game Management student in the School of Forestry at Stephen F. Austin State University before making the decision to pursue photography as a career. This...

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 →
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 →
