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!

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.

Shoes hanging on telephone wires.
One of the best things about being a father and an active parent is the sponteneity that can arise from a simple walk through our West Texas town to a park.
As a photographer I always take a camera with me. Because my wife is also a photographer it doesn’t seem to be bothersome to her. Besides, she ends up with tons of great pictures to use for her scrapbooks.
At a park near our home we saw these shoes hanging from some telephone wires. Brand new Nike Shox to be exact!
I’m willing to bet that somebody was pretty pissed about those shoes ending up where they are.
