-
- “Driveway in the Snow” – Untouched snow blankets the driveway to my home during a rare east Texas snowfall giving me the opportunity to capture its serenity and beauty.
-
- “The Dairy Barn Door” – On a highway in east Texas the character of this old dairy barn catches my eye each and every time I drive past it. Different times of day and the changing seasons offer many photographic opportunities I find hard to pass up!
-
- “Lighthouse on the Hill” – The shadows of the windows and the majesty of this landmark lighthouse against a gray sky on Padre Island caught my eye during a vacation there last summer. My desire was to capture the presence of the historical lighthouse without clutter around it.
-
- “Seagull in the Sun” – Seagulls are plenty for photographing on the Texas coastline. With them flying all around and overhead I could only aim and shoot. This photograph was the unique capture I hoped for.
-
- “Senior Prom” – I strive for my portraits to reveal something about a person’s character. This young lady is a dedicated softball player who is dressed up for her high school prom.
-
- “Portrait of a Writer” – An abandoned feed mill provided the natural lighting and setting for this photograph. My attempt in this portrait was to present the subject in a way that portrayed something about his character, his interests and his history. He is a writer. He loves to read. He has a complicated life.
-
- “Dad” – After taking the natural light portrait class at the Dallas Center for Photography, I came home and took this photograph of my 87 year old father to practice what I’d learned. The natural light of a late afternoon sun gave me ideal conditions for capturing this photograph in the carport of my parents’ home.
-
- “Picking Tomatoes” -This is my four year old granddaughter picking bright red tomatoes from her great grandfather’s garden, shot with my cell phone.
-
- “Merline’s Buggy” – For years I’d seen this woman push a “borrowed” shopping cart filled with water bottles up and down a highway near my home. I always wondered about her – who is she and what’s her story. Finally on a hot summer day and with camera in hand I stopped and asked if I could photograph her. She readily agreed and began to search her purse for a tube of violet colored lipstick. This woman had pride. She talked about water and told me her name was Merline and she was once a nurse.
