Today I share a collection of Instagram photos from my recent family vacation up to the little mountain town of Red River, NM.  Lots more to come from this trip!

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!

For my trip to NYC, I had a list a mile long of things I wanted to shoot, and the Brooklyn Bridge was very near the top of that list.  While I didn't make it to all of them, I made sure I got here, and it was worth it!

Sometimes it pays to drive 5 minutes from home, instead of flying halfway around the world.  You can find great stuff to shoot close to home, too!

Cupid's Span is an interesting (and large!) sculpture along the Embarcadero in San Francisco, CA - well worth a visit to this part of a fabulous city!

I love San Francisco and find it to be a very beautiful town.  In the blue hour light after a good, solid rain...well, it's beyond beautiful - it's downright amazing!

I just don't get tired of shooting all the beautiful churches that I come across in Europe.  I found this one in Vienna, Austria by accident - sometimes I get lucky!  I'll take it!

Today's post is about The Mean-Eyed Cat Bar here in Austin, TX.  It's a pretty awesome looking place, if I do say so myself!  And I am glad to finally get this one marked off my list of places to shoot here!

You ever see pics of a place, and hope that someday you can get there and shoot it?  Yeah, me too - all the time in fact.  In this case, it actually happened.  I finally made it to the Santa Monica Pier!

I've been blogging here for 5 years - time flies!  I was thinking about how far I have come, and thought I would share what I have learned on this creative journey of mine.  

Austin is a great town, and we like our weirdness...hence the town motto, "Keep Austin Weird".  Here's a couple of proof points for ya!

You have heard me say how much I love train stations, especially those in Europe.  Now, here's a full examination of why, and some tips for getting the shot too!  This is a lengthy read, but I hope you enjoy it!

Today I share 3 shots from Ecola State Park, just outside of Cannon Beach, OR.  It's a rugged but beautiful stretch of coastline - and something that everyone should see.

South Congress Avenue in downtown Austin is quite a fun place to shoot, and arriving at sunrise means you get it all to yourself!  Of course, you can't order a cupcake then, so that's no good.  But the photo-taking...yep, that's pretty good.

I love HDR photography, but it's changing - a lot.  And in my opinion, that's a good thing.  There are a million ways to skin a cat, as the saying goes, and that is very true with HDR as well.  Today I ramble a bit about HDR photography and share some resources to help you on your own journey.

Ah, New York City - what an impressive skyline!  Today's post is a couple of photos shot from Brooklyn, while staring out at the most-photographed skyline in the world.  Good times!

Luck comes in pretty handy sometimes, especially since we can't control the weather!  I showed up here one morning just as the light got perfect - I love it when my timing is good!

Apple is going to drop Aperture, which I use every day.  What am I going to do about it?  Well, that's a good question.  I'm not sure I have an answer - yet.  But here's what I am thinking about it right now.

Going underground in Copenhagen and getting the shot!  Or, shots, in this case.  :-)

A quick look at an old church I found while wandering in Copenhagen...
