There's a lot of beauty in Panama City, Panama - and a lot of disrepair.  Today's post explores the overlooked parts of their historic district - the grunge, the grit, the grime.  Click on in but grab a little hand sanitizer first!  :-)

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!

Today's post is all about that great American tradition: neon signs! In particular, this is a collection of photos of some of the wonderful neon signs in downtown Nashville, TN.  I was there last week, and I shot a bunch of this stuff.  Hope you enjoy it!

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! 

Well hi there!  I made a reasonably quick trip over to Sydney, Australia last week, and came home with a LOT of photos.  But, today's post is a bit of a teaser - just iPhone shots for ya.  I haven't had time to get my Olympus shots processed.  So come back, ok?  There's a lot more coming!  But for now, enjoy these photos and this quick tour of my little adventures Down Under!  G'day mate!

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.

Today I share my thoughts on how I am changing as a photographer.  I love great photos of the big things, but I am finding an equal (and sometimes greater) satisfaction from shooting the little things.  Read on to get my thoughts on this and feel free to leave your feedback in the comments section!

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?

How about some more photos from San Antonio?  You ok with that?  Great!  Let's dive in and check out the Riverwalk at sunrise.  There are no tourists, and the water is like glass.  All the lights are on, so you can get great reflections that really come to life.  Oh and there are bridges!  It's all quite beautiful, so click on in and enjoy!

Today I share some shots I created in the new Topaz Impression - it's a new and exciting (and fun!) way to turn your photos into digital art!  I have spent a lot of time with it over the last few days, and have really enjoyed it!  Take a peek inside and enjoy, and feel free to let me know your thoughts!  And note there is a special offer from Topaz Labs on this product until Sept 30, which is tomorrow!

I am always carrying a list with me when I travel to any city, and the list contains all the big, important things I hope to photograph while I am there.  And I think that is a good thing.  But equally - if not more - important, is noticing, enjoying and photographing the little things that you see while out there.  They add a lot to your experience and enjoyment of a city.  So today, here's a few of the "little things" I enjoyed in Amsterdam!
