DOG BEACH | San Diego
I have been remiss about updating my blog lately, so in the next few days I hope to remedy that problem with some new posts sharing some experiences since last Christmas. I thought I would start out with Dog Beach, which is a leash free area to run your dog on the shore of the Pacific Ocean just north of San Diego. My wife Kim and I, along with our dog Shadow, spent a wonderful couple of weeks at her mother’s house on Point Loma in San Diego over Christmas and New Year’s Holidays.

While the show was in San Diego, she took a set of three books in for their appraisal. After looking at them they...

Sugar Land | Car Show and Around the Town
It happened to be a Saturday afternoon and I was watching some college football with some buddies at Baker Street Pub & Grill, when one of them told me there was a car show going on in the plaza at Sugar Land Town Square just down the street. He thought there might be some interesting shots there since he knew I was interested in photography. I grab the camera and went down there to find some really neat cars, both old and new, shined to the max. I took multiple handheld exposures of these cars and processed them in HDR. Click HERE to view more pictures in the slideshow gallery. I thought...

I grew up in Colorado but oil and gas exploration brought me to Texas after graduating from the Colorado School of Mines in 1977. After 30 years in the business my passions have now turned to photography and the digital arts which I try to incorporate with my love of the outdoors, nature, skiing, golf, traveling and meeting new people. I view life as a continuous learning experience.
