Special Thanks to the Houston Museum of Natural Science!

I’d just like to say thanks publicly to Erin Blatzer and all the folks at the Houston Museum of Natural Science for posting three of my images on their Flicker Group and soon on their Internet Press Room. If you’re not familiar with HMNS you really should drop by the museum on Hermann Drive in Houston. If [...]

Texas Wildlife

One of the great things about wandering around a state park in Texas is the variety of wildlife you’ll encounter. I shot this earlier this afternoon during another visit to the Brazos Bend State Park where I was actually looking for some alligators to photograph. Accoring to the park guide there are “more than 300 species [...]

The Windmills of my Mind

You know you’re in the South when you see one of these! This “working” windmill sits in the middle of the Brazos Bend State Park and on a windy day it pumps fresh water into a small cistern.
Yes, we do get some of the most spectacular clouds here in Texas. It comes from being close [...]

Hi, I’m a PC and My Friend Mac Just Gave Me Some Malware!

It goes like this…
“Hi, I’m a PC.”
“And I’m a Mac, and I just gave my friend PC here some Malware to chew on!”
If you’re a MobileMe user like I am, you’ve probably already downloaded the latest update for your Mac and the iPhone/iPod Touch 2.0 firmware so that you can “sync” them up over the [...]

Just south of Sugar Land, TX about 20 miles as the crow flies, you’ll find the Brazos Bend State Park and the George Observatory. Nestled in just under 5000 acres of river bottomlands, the park boasts an abundance of wildlife including white-tail deer, coyotes, waterfowl and some of the biggest alligators this side of the Mississippi. All [...]

Powerful Words

I found this wandering around Sugar Land a few weeks ago. Like most of the south, folks in Texas take their religion seriously. Notice what’s sculpted on the sides of this cross. Powerful words indeed!

I Hate Neck Straps!

Up until a few months ago, I hadn’t bought any photo gear in almost 25 years. In all that time I’d have thought the major camera manufacturers (Canon especially) would have come up with a better neck strap! But No. The strap that came with my 40D body looks exactly like the strap still connected [...]

I Know I’m a Bit Rusty!

I’m just getting back into serious photography after about a 25 year hiatus. It’s a long story but basically all my free time in the past 25 years has been spent with my wife and four daughters or on the golf course. Boy oh boy, could I chase that little white ball around the course [...]

Those Warm Summer Nights!

Sugar Land, TX is not just one of those modern Texas suburbs with the new brick buildings and manicured gardens. Like most Texas towns, it boasts a long and colorful history. In Sugar Land’s case, it’s all about the Imperial Sugar mill and headquarters.
