I have moved my book sales to Blurb and my previous two books, Hill Country Landscapes, released in 2009 and Landscapes of the Texas Plains & Canyons, released in 2010, can now be purchased directly from their web site, along with my latest book, Landscapes of the Davis Mountains.
My love affair with the Davis Mountains began with a short trip to the area in 2011 to cover the recent wildfires that ravaged the region. This seemingly random event opened my eyes to one of the most beautiful and majestic regions in our state and an area that calls to me like a bee to honey.
Join me as I explore the rugged outback of the Davis Mountains and surrounding area with its rich history and unique geology and geography. From the verdant plains to the highest peaks, it’s a region like no other.

I have been posting images and writing this blog since early 2008 and I thought that after seven years, it’s time for a little change. Serious Amateur Photography is now Texas Landscape Photography in keeping with my focus on landscape photography in the Lone Star State.
The photography that you’ve come to expect and enjoy won’t change much but my emphasis on “how to become a better landscape photographer” will begin to morph into “where can I find inspiring locations to photograph here in Texas”. Quite honestly, many of my readers are accomplished landscape photographers in their own right and even my youngest readers have a knack for digital photography well beyond their years. Oh, I’ll still post the occasional “how did I get that shot” type of article but more often than not my wordier posts will assume a certain level of technical proficiency and delve into the questions of “where”, “when” and “why” did I take a certain shot.
So with that in mind… Once More Unto the Breach my Friends!
