Vancouver Fall – Oct 2013
Back to Recent Images Back Home This fall I returned to Vancouver to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving with family. The weather was fantastic. The days were cold and crisp and many mornings I awoke to fog. This was the first time in a long time that I can remember the leaves turning wonderful fall colours as opposed to them just rotting and falling to the ground....
Read MoreBig Bend National Park – August 2013
Back to Recent Images Back Home I spent the second week of August exploring Big Bend National Park in west Texas. Although it was hot, we had a great time and saw some incredible scenery. One of my favourite parts of the trip was photographing the Milky Way. The park is extremely dark, and the night skies are very impressive. Another highlight was the variety of wildlife that we saw. There was an incredible variety of birds, mammals and reptiles. Thanks to Greg Lavity for his expert guiding...
Read MoreDog Show – July 2013
Back to Recent Images Back Home It’s hot in Houston, so I have been looking for things to photograph inside air-conditioned buildings! This past Friday my friend Lisa invited me to the Houston Dog Show at Reliant Park. It was a lot of fun and I wish I could have spent more time there. Unfortunately the light was not very good, so I had to push my ISO up to 3200 to get a shutter speed fast enough to freeze the dogs on the agility course. I will definitely spend some more time there next...
Read MoreSan Antonio – June 2013
Back to Recent Images Back Home While visiting San Antonio last weekend, we visited the San Jose Mission and the LBJ Ranch. The first photo was a case of being in the right place at the right time. I was envisioning a black and white image of these arches when a bride on a photo shoot walked through the archways at the end of the hall. In the second shot, I was drawn in by the textures of the old wood, straw and feathers in the chicken coop at the Lyndon Johnson...
Read MoreSilhouette at YVR – June 2013
Back to Recent Images Back Home I have been visualizing an image like this for some time. While heading back to Houston from YVR I got my opportunity, although very brief. This image is taken with a Canon S95 point and shoot. Not longer after I sat down, this your girl and her mother sat in front of me in the waiting area. While her mother was digging out an iPad for her to watch a show, she ran to the window and looked out at the plane. In under twenty seconds she was sitting down watching her video and never went to the window again. Lesson learned – always be...
Read MoreGalveston Island – May 2013
Back to Recent Images Back Home In early May I got to spend another day with Greg Lavity during the spring migration. We had a super day down in Galveston. The highlight of the day was watching the courtship of two white-tailed kites. As a courting gift the male caught a mouse and gave it to the female in flight. It was very exciting to...
