Sorry for the long gap since my last post. I've been recovering from Shannon's wedding on one hand and getting ready for Kaitlin's wedding in Sept on the other. My other daughter Kelly and her fiance announced their wedding in December. Our oldest son Sean announced that he and his bride were secretly married earlier... Continue Reading →
Today the first of our children, my oldest son Shannon is getting married to a wonderful wonderful gift from God! As I prepare to conduct the ceremony myself I wonder where the time went? How fast it passed by. Seriously it seems I just blinked, boom he’s a man getting married. My relationship with Shannon... 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 →
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. Wilson Peak appears to be on fire as fresh blowing snow is illuminated by the last light of the day.... Continue Reading →
Years ago I shot this image of a our friend Christie during her home birth. Normally, I would not shoot such a private moment, but this was a special case, with a special story. Leslie and Christie had become friends during a show they both performed about women having to give birth during the 1800's... Continue Reading →
A couple of weeks ago, Leslie and I had dinner with some good friends of ours, Paul and Amy Davis. During the evening, Paul shared with us a wonderful story about forgiving others. I also knew Paul enjoyed photography since he had taken a photo workshop from me, so I asked him if he had... 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 →
Years ago when my children were young I remember reading a great book called "This Present Darkness" by Frank Peretti. The one thing that stood out to me in that book was how false accusations could be so destructive. We all at some level or another have experienced having someone knowingly say something about you...

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 →
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 →
