After deciding to sell my Surface Pro 2 after it has sat unused for months and months, I needed to take pictures, and I might as well take some decent ones.

So…lighting comes from the K5600 Alpha 800 fresnel and a bounce card on a set of materials available at the studio.

Light photoshop work to cleanup the last bits of dust and ensure color accuracy created the final images seen above.

A few images from a trip to Sam’s Throne for an engagement and climbing trip for my friends Erin and Michael.

This morning, I threw the bike in the box, and headed to one of my favorite local trails at OCNP.

The trail conditions were tacky and firm, producing some great moments of grip, yet being a bit slippery over the logs and roots. After 17.5 miles of pedaling, I did have to call it a day for riding and return to the real world of responsibilities at home.

Estes Park in Colorado. 

Lets play find the fisherman in the first one. After that, just enjoy the images of Longs Peak and my friends Christina and Andy getting some climbing on.

The previous blog post was just the precursor for this shot.

I have been wanting to expanded upon the Orbs set in my arts section and decided that this was the perfect time.

Another night under the stars, another light orb spun, complete with its imperfections!

With a group of friends to meet in the Alpine/Marfa area in West TX this last weekend, I made my way by car toward friends and adventure. 

This was just one of the shots I made during my transit. It was somewhere along highway 20 far outside of Abilene.

Thanks for peeking,

I had the lovely opportunity to shoot something very fun in the studio today after work. Check out this chair!

I am quite happy that we have been getting so much water here in Texas, as the years past have been dismally dry. It means a return to the lake, to good times, and to some of the best friends I could ever ask for gathering in one place for at least a few weekends of the year. 

I can’t wait for the first chance to take some time out from my schedule to get out to the water and thrash myself learning new tricks, only to come up from getting slammed with a smile on my face. 

My camera will be out there with me again this year, hopefully capturing more images like this one!

Until next time,
