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 →
Years ago I was honored to meet the man in the above photo! His name is Oscar Lorick and he is a farmer in Cochran, Georgia. Mr. Lorick became national news as the poster child for all farmers in the mid 80's when he was one of 20,000 farmers to be foreclosed on by the... Continue Reading →
The pastor who mentored me for years, Dan Davis and to this day is like a father to me, at least spiritually, would make regular trips to Turkey to pray for the people of Turkey to come to know Jesus.

My heart is breaking, so I know God's heart is breaking that much more. Each day the news gets worse from just about all corners of the world. If one were inclined to run and hide, I don't think he could find a safe place on this planet. As I have been in town this... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite things to do is drive in the mountains with just about any Brian Doerksen worship song blasting away. A few years back when my son Shannon and I made regular trips into the mountains to shoot photos together (for me to steal precious time with my son before he drifted away... Continue Reading →
I've always loved shooting trees and the above photo is one of my favorites in my library of images. After shooting the photos, I actually sat at the base of this tree and just rested and prayed. I marveled at all the limbs and wondered how deep the roots must go. The tree was estimated... Continue Reading →
