I’ve come to a realization in my “real off-line life”.
I don’t have enough contact with people in my own area that are active in the arts (however limited it is here in Midland, TX).
Well, that’s gonna have to change.
If you’re in the Permian Basin, or anywhere in West Texas really, and are involved in the arts in anyway, I’d love to take you to lunch or coffee. Just to talk about art and culture or whatever.
Use the contact page. It’ll be fun. As long as I’ve had my coffee!

green bottle and friends
Sometimes the things that people collect can and organize can really become great eye candy.
We were staying at a really nice little cottage just outside New Braunfels, Texas this past summer. Of course we were there to float the Guadalupe River. My wife and I, along with some of our closest friends, had a such a great time.
Really needed that escape from the dry deserts of West Texas.
The cottage had so much personality. Lot’s of little trinkets to photograph. Used my camera quite a bit while we were there.

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.
