You can find patterns in all sorts of places. It’s one of the wonders of looking at life through a lens.
One of the biggest aspects of photography that appeals to me as an artist is the limit of view or vantage point that photography offers.  The constraints of having to work inside a box.  It’s ironic when I think about it.  I often colored outside the box as a child.  Cliche?  Perhaps.

Requested piece by the wife. She loves black and white photography with floral and natural patterns. It’s good to have someone to “request” work that I don’t mind doing.

I think most people have this misconception of Midland, TX.  Perhaps it is because we are surrounded by West Texas desert or perhaps it’s because we are often plagued by hot hot summers.

Once you enter a truly great neighborhood like ours your perception starts to change a little.  There is an abundance of wonderfully kept gardens just ripe for great photography. 

I don’t have a green thumb and find myself looking, with awe, at the care and intimacy that our neighborhood gardeners have taken in creating lush and beautiful landscape. 

I feel like our home is a sore spot on the rest of the neighborhood.  Perhaps I’ll work on my green thumb in the Spring.

Childhood memories. Swings. Play. Nostalgia. When was the last time you remembered what it was like to be a child?

One of the best things about black and white photography is it’s ability to create “timeless” imagery.

I took this photograph at a park near our home in Midland, TX.  I’m sort of dreading the winter months coming.  It means shorter evenings and less trips to the park with out kiddos.
Truthfully, here in the Permian Basin, we don’t suffer really cold winters.  So perhaps we’ll be able to bundle the kiddos in warmer sweaters and still make those little expeditions?

Here’s to being hopeful for great weather to come.
