It has been a while since posting. I do have a great excuse...all four of my children were married from June to October. I posted about Shannon's wedding in August and pretty much everything I had to say goes for the rest of my kids. However, giving daughters away is so much harder than letting... Continue Reading →
Those of us who are believers in Jesus Christ know that we have been freed from the penalties due us via Jesus Christ. We fortunately do not get what we absolutely deserve and instead get what we don't deserve, to loosely quote one of my favorite Christian songs by The Newsboys, "Real Good Thing". That's...

Wildlife photography is one of my favorite subjects to shoot. 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 →
2 Corinthians 5 is one of my favorite scriptures. It has personally brought me great comfort during times of loss and direction when confused in the desert. I used to worry that something was wrong with me after being born again, because I wanted to go to heaven and be with Jesus. I long for... Continue Reading →
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 →

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. I usually hate to bring up the resurrection, because it seems like... 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 →
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 →
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 →
Every year I produce a photo annual book of the best images I took the year before. Lately, I've been finalizing the 2010 edition and for some reason this image has been stuck in my head. It comes from a story my wife, Leslie (a writer) and I worked on for Texas Highways Magazine last... Continue Reading →
Back when my son Shannon was still in high school at Lake Travis in Central Texas he out of the blue decided to join the football team. I had mixed feelings about it, but that is another message for another day. The team was a good team, in fact the best the school had ever... Continue Reading →
Like most people I know, dawn is their favorite part of the day. Of course the problem is always dragging yourself out of bed to be there when it happens. I shot this photo in West Texas and dawn in West Texas is the best. This was one of those moments when I just pulled... Continue Reading →
