Wrap – Up Texas Photography-101 Workshop Fort Worth Stockyards

That’s a wrap on the March, Photo 101 class. Great Group of students for the inaugural class in Fort Worth, Texas at the Cowtown Coliseum and Stockyards National Historic District. It was a smaller class this time, but that gave us a lot more one-on-one time and a little camera time ourselves. The first day […]
Keeping it Fresh

As with anything the redundancy of doing something over and over can become less than exhilarating. Photography is no different, sometimes changing it up a bit and trying a new form of photography is just the ticket.

Well the PBR came to Decatur again this weekend for the8th annual JW Hart challenge. I have to say it was probably one of the best run to date, with perfect weather, bull riding just doesn’t get much better than this! Tried little different strategy this year by moving around with the 400 instead of […]
Waiting on it!

So, have you ever run across a shot that was perfect, only if it had…. in it? Such was the case at a recent Youth Fair rodeo. I saw the bleachers and became fascainated with the lines, all of the sudden two horses appeared as if to be posing for me, that was […]
It all began with a glass of wine

…Actually it began about eight years ago when I launched my first photo class 101. I found a need and enjoyment in teaching a beginning photo class in Wise County, since, I’ve added a 102 class, editing class and a advanced lighting class. Recently on a trip to the Galapagoes, I had a thought of […]
