Of blossoms and things
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.

Have a Seat, Stay a While
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.

smokey bokeh
Photograph of small flower patch in black and white.
I usually don’t photograph flowers or botanical scenes but we were taking the kiddos to the park and one of our neighbors had some flowers in their garden. You gotta love how friendly our older Midland, TX neighborhood is. At least we do.
Tegann (our oldest) was really drawn to theses little flowers and Heather (my wife) had been asking for some black and white prints for our bedroom.
Her request was for something in the realm of calming and soothing as we work on making our bedroom a place of relaxation and serenity.
I really enjoyed how the blur of the grass and flower stems at this focal length with a large aperture sort of melts into the top left of the photograph. Reminded me of smoke. Hence the title of this photograph.
