I was lucky enough to witness a wonderful sunset on my recent trip over to Sydney, Australia - click on in and check out the pics!  Sometimes you just show up and it all works out!

I stumbled across a little church and a cemetery along an empty road in a deserted corner of New Mexico.  So I stopped and took a few pics!  That's what you would do, right?

This may qualify as my longest post ever, at least in terms of the number of photos that it contains.  But, it was worth every minute it took to prepare it for you. Click through to enjoy a visual tour of that most beautiful French Chateau in the Loire Valley - Chateau de Chenonceau.  Then pack your bags - you're likely to want to travel to France asap!

Today's post is all about the Sydney Opera House - it's pretty awesome!  I went over to Australia last week, and was able to capture quite a few shots of this iconic structure.  It was #1 on my list of what to shoot, and I shot it - LOTs. So take a look at these 5 photos and enjoy the visual tour! 

Sometimes I get lucky and catch an incredible sunset, and sometimes I don't.  Either way, I am happy because I am pointing my camera at one, and that's a good thing.  Today you get a group of photos taken during a couple of different sunsets in Arch Cape, OR earlier this year.  It's just beautiful, so take a look, k?

SoCo (short for South Congress) is a funky little spot in downtown Austin, and I love to go shoot there.  You never know what you might get, but I'm pretty sure you can count on it being interesting.  Hop on in and have a look!  It's 9 HDR photos from a recent sunrise shoot there.

Ah, the mountains!  Cool breezes, fresh air, and wicked cool clouds!  I do love the mountains, and whenever I get a chance to visit and photograph them, I'm like a kid in a candy store.  It's just what I love.  Perhaps I should move?

I just got back from NYC, and brought home a few images as well.  It's a great town for that, though you can read my thoughts on NYC in this post.  In short, I like it, but don't love it.  However, I really enjoyed wandering in Central Park and firing off a bunch of photos!  Check 'em out!

How about we step back into history today?  Specifically, 16th century France - does that sound good?  It does to me, so I hope you will come along for the ride.  It's going to be fun, educational, colorful (of course!) and hopefully inspirational too!  Vive le France!  (or something like that)

Have you ever visited San Antonio, TX?  It's very beautiful, especially the Riverwalk area, and especially at sunrise when there are no tourists in the way.  Have a look...I think you will enjoy these.  Oh, and I toss out a 5 year old sunset photo too, since I had forgotten about it.  No time like the present!

Today I share 1 photo that I have process 8 different ways - and I share some thoughts on breaking free of routines and experimenting to broaden your creativity.  

A trio of shots from my hometown of Austin today...and a little commentary on the idea of variety.

I enjoy checking out sculpture gardens - they are often a great place for interesting photographs.  My visit last week to Minneapolis confirmed it - this crazy (and large!) sculpture of a spoon with a cherry on it is awesome!

Do you ever get out and shoot at sunrise?  You should!  Especially when in a touristy area of a city, sunrise is great to shoot because all the tourists are still asleep.  It's quiet and awesome.

While everyone loves a sunset shot, it's well worth getting out and shooting in the afternoon too - especially if you happen to be in Amsterdam!  Here's 3 photos to help convince you.  :-)

London City Hall is one of many iconic and interesting bits of architecture in London.  Honestly, the city is full of them!  Have you been to see this place?

How about 3 photos from the Oregon coast, on a day I went exploring a sea cave?  Sound fun?  Come check it out!

Today's post is a couple of shots from Bull Creek, here in Austin.  It's close to home, beautiful, and fun to shoot - especially when you get great light!

A trio of shots from Copenhagen - which has a few canals, as well as awesome architecture!  Also, I am using new software to edit my photos - read more in this post!

This is one of my favorite spots in Nashville - The Parthenon.  On my last trip there, I ran into an online friend there - travel sure makes this a small world at times!
