Here it is - a monster post about Brussels, Belgium!  It's one of my favorite places - hey, it's famous for chocolate and beer, so what do you expect?  I've got 20 photos in here, so click in for a look and have a read too.  I ramble a bit about how these posts come about too, in case you were wondering.  Anyways, hope you enjoy the photo tour of Brussels!  It's a wonderful place!

Today's post is a collection of photos I took on the day I arrived in Sydney, Australia - after a 16 hour flight and no sleep.  A little dreary but determined, I wandered down to Circular Quay and found lots of great stuff to photograph.  Sometimes you just have to forget that you are tired and focus on getting out there and getting things done!

I love architecture - a LOT! - and when I find something like this place, I'm pretty fired up. Here's a quick photo tour of Hay's Galleria in London.  Just something I literally stumbled upon - and almost missed!

Whiskey, bridges, a church and a jail - not your normal collection of shots!  Today's post doesn't really follow a "theme" like many of mine do.  This is rather just a group of shots from some of my trips to Dublin that I happened to have ready, but which don't necessarily all go together.  But I think it does give you a nice tour of some cool spots around this lovely Irish town...so click on in and have a look!

Paris is a beautiful city - that's basically an undisputed fact.  But on my recent visit there, I found beauty in lots of unexpected places - including inside a cafe, inside the Musee d'Orsay museum.  Here's a visual tour of the place, which is the home to many of the great works of the Impressionists.  Enjoy!

Sometimes you find yourself in absolutely the wrong place when the sunset decides to get all awesome.  It's a real drag, but hey what can you do about it?  Well, I'll tell you what I do.  I shoot like crazy.  What if it's the best sunset you've seen in ages?  You can't just pack it up and go home.  Take the shot - you never regret it!

It's always hard to get up early for anything - even if it's something you love, like shooting sunrise.  But then again, you can't shoot sunrise any other time of day except morning, so an early rise is sort of a requirement.  So I did just that when I was in Montpellier, France a while back - and it was well worth it!  And it was an amazing sunrise!

Today's post is a collection of 20 photos from a summer hike up to Middle Fork Lake in New Mexico.  It's a beautiful and secluded spot, and well worth the effort to get to it!  I shot landscapes, waterfalls and even little fairy mushrooms - good fun!  Have a look, and thanks for stopping by!

Here's a few shots from a trip I took last year up to Minneapolis.  It's really a very beautiful city, and this was my first visit with a camera.  These shots were all captured one evening during blue hour, down at their lovely State Theatre.  Have a look!

Grace Cathedral in San Francisco is just incredible.  Today's photo essay is a collection of 10 photos and 1 painting that summarize my visit there...and a little story about luck, perseverance, and why you should always tell the truth.  Be sure to add this place to your list if you are planning a trip to San Fran!

Wishing you and yours a very happy and prosperous holiday season!

From my recent trip to lovely Nashville, here's a collection of photos taken downtown.  It's a wonderful town for photography, and I love to go there and shoot.  I always seem to get great conditions for photography while I am there.  So click on it and let me know what you think - and thanks for stopping by!

Do you ever find yourself in the wrong spot when the light gets awesome?  Yeah, me too.  So I do what any sane person would do - RUN and find a good spot!  Luckily, I didn't get hit by any of the bewildered Parisian drivers!

Here's a collection of shots from a FABULOUS sunset I shot recently in Montpellier, France.  Although I was tired from no sleep on the flight over, I just could NOT resist getting out and exploring a bit.  Then to get rewarded with such great light - well, let's just say I was pretty dang happy!

Today's post is 4 images from a marvelous sunset in Copenhagen that I took a while ago, but converted to paintings for your viewing pleasure (and a side-by-side comparison).  I think they look pretty awesome.  And there's a MASSIVE Cyber Monday deal going on at Topaz Labs, the makers of some of my favorite editing software - click on through for details!

Good old Luckenbach, TX - a tiny little spot in the Texas hill country, famous for being in a country song.  And in my opinion, a great little spot to take some photos - here's 10 photos to prove it!

Have I ever mentioned that I love train stations in Europe?  Haha, well ok, maybe I have.  So keeping with that theme, here are 6 photos from the grand interior of the train station in Leipzig, Germany!

A week in the mountains is never enough for me, but as an escape from the Texas heat, it sure goes a long way!  Here's a collection of 10 photos from our family trip up to Red River, NM last summer.  Great waterfalls, sunsets, and more!  Oh my!

I love living here in Austin - it's a great town for living, and a great town for photography.  These 10 photos are a small sample of the great stuff you can find to shoot here.  Have a look!

I'm back at it - sharing a HUGE collection of photos from a trip I took to Bratislava, Slovakia.  But this isn't your normal post, featuring some landmark or well-known sight.  This is 16 photos of the little things I found there while wandering with my camera.  Take a look!
