Make sure to take a four-wheel drive vehicle and spare tire when driving the outback of Big Bend National Park because help is far away and cell phone service is virtually nonexistent. It’s a long walk home if you’re not prepared.

An interesting view from the road leading south into the heart of Big Bend National Park, taken during this middle of the wildfire season last spring. The smoke you see is from the uncontrolled wildfires throughout Northern Mexico last year. Much of this smoke drifted North hundreds of miles and blanketed southwest Texas for several months last year. Thank goodness this year is starting out cold and wet!

Photographing the “black powder” shooters in action is a treat. These replicas of 1873 Winchester rifles shoot black powder cartridges reminiscent of the days before “smokeless” (modern) gun powder was invented. The percussion “open-top” pistols are even more interesting since there is no modern “cartridge” as we know it. Just a cap, ball and black powder! KaBoom…

I hope when I’m eighty I have half the grace and poise that this wonderful model does. Her song enchanted me and I had to capture the life, love and beauty of this incredible face. It’s one of my favorite portraits.

On a personal note
My sincere thanks to everyone for your prayers and concerns for my daughter Margaret. She is beginning to feel better and her doctors are very positive. Next week when we get the test results we will know better if this is just a bump in the road or not. — Jeff
Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately but we had a family emergency earlier this week and it’s rattled my cage a bit. One of my daughters ended up in the ER this week with acute abdominal pain and for a father, nothing hurts as much as seeing your child in pain, and you not being able to do one darn thing about it! She’s home now resting but it scared the daylights out of her mother and I as well as her three sisters. I certainly hope the rest of February is less eventful…
