Chihuly After Dark

Attended this Chihuly exhibit at the Dallas Arboretum back in September. All these shots were taken after sundown. There were many people there that night and virtually impossible to get some shots without some people in a shot or two. Since they were all long exposures, some blurry moving people are in some shots. I don't know where it's headed next, but if you ever have the opportunity, it's well worth it.

Three Amigos

Recently shot these 3 Seniors who have been friends since elementary school. The young man on the left is my son. In a matter of months these guys will all head in different directions as most friends do at this stage in life. It's kind of sad in many ways that friends part company, but exciting as well knowing all the possibilities and new experiences that lie ahead. This shot just begged for a vintage antique effect, so here it is. I hope you like it. I certainly do.

Cold Front Coming

Western bank of the Brazos River as the leading edge of an arctic front approaches and snuffs out much of the available light. Click on photo to view on black for the best view.

Capturing People

I like to shoot anything of interest, but I really like shooting people. This is a family I've had the pleasure to shoot several times over the last few years. Some photographers really don't care for it. The way I see it is that there are well over 6 billion people in this world, each a unique individual, each a subject all their own. So many people, so little time..............

Lola

One of my Dachshunds. Absolutely hates to be photographed ( Just like many people I know!). Shot this one with the zoom lens without her knowledge. This dog is one of the best natured animals I have ever seen. She is an absolute joy and I wouldn't take anything for her.  Made this shot a bit more painterly which I really like.
