It's a New Year, and I'm already busy.  I am planning on doing a lot this year, taking my photography business to new levels, and enjoying the heck out of it.  Here's a personal post about what I am thinking. I welcome your feedback, and look forward to a productive 2016!  Thanks for following along!

It's a big fat post about the cafes in Paris, yay!  :-)  I spent a week in Paris more than a year ago, and just got around to processing some of these shots.  I started with one, then another, and ended up with 11 photos of cafes in Paris.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed being there taking them!

2015 was a great year, and I thank you for your support!

South Congress Avenue in downtown Austin is quite a fun place for photography.  While I have often shot this area at sunrise, I recently changed things up a bit and shot in the evening instead.  Here's a few pics to give you a taste of it!  I hope you like neon!

It's fun to look back on the year that just ended, and today's post is exactly that - a look back.  2015 was a year of photography, travel, and change - and I hope I did it justice in this summary.  Grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy the review - there's a LOT here!  Thanks for visiting my blog this year!

Do you have a particular spot that you just NEVER feel like you get the right opportunity to photograph, yet everyone else DOES?  I had one just like that until recently.  It has eluded me for YEARS, but finally I was able to capture a stunning sunset at The Oasis.  Read on my friends!

Barton Springs Road in Austin is a little gem, with a few interesting little spots to photograph.  Oh yeah, and right around the corner is our natural spring pool, too - another jewel in the crown, so to speak.  Check out these recent sunrise photos and enjoy!

Falkirk, Scotland is a small town not too far from Glasgow, and well worth a trip over for exploring.  The Falkirk Wheel is a boat lift technically, but really it's an engineering marvel and a very interesting thing to go see and photograph.  Check it out!

I return again to San Francisco in today's post - a gorgeous sunset at a gorgeous location, the Palace of Fine Arts.  Oh, and I walked nearly 18 miles that day.  Whew!  Read on and enjoy the pics my friends!  

Ah, San Francisco - full of beauty and interestingness and some weirdness, too.  Yep, the City by the Bay has a few spots that are a little different, and today I transport you to one of them.  This is Haight Ashbury, which was at the center of the hippie counter-culture revolution way back in the 1960's.  A lot has changed since then, but you can still feel the vibe in this most interesting district in San Francisco.  Enjoy!

Well, here's something you don't see everyday.  It's a blog post from me with photos of people in it.  Yep, real, live humans.  Of course, they were swinging fire torches around and breathing fire into the night like a dragon, so I launched into full "extreme portrait" mode and fired away!  It was awesome, too!

Today on the blog I whisk you away to that lovely Scottish city, Glasgow.  Some think it's "not all that", but I disagree.  Here's a photo collection showing you some of the beauty in Glasgow!

Once again, I spent some time in a train station - this time it was Copenhagen's Central Station.  It's a beautiful spot, and I learned that no matter how many times you have been somewhere, you can always find a new way to look at things.  Read on!

I found some incredible color in Central Park on my recent trip to New York - my timing was excellent.  And I covered about 20 miles on foot while photographing it - isn't it crazy how much walking you can do in that city?

I've been getting in a LOT of shots of Austin lately, for a couple of reasons.  Today I share some of my most recent Austin pics and hint at what I am working on!

Boston is a beautiful town, and is great to photograph during sunrise.  You can wander around all the best spots and have them to yourself, which makes them even more enjoyable in my book!  Here is a collection of shots from a recent trip to that fair city.

How about a virtual trip to a fairy-tale castle in Denmark today?  Sound good?  Ok, let's go!  Here is a collection of pics I took at Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerod, Denmark earlier this year.  It's a beautiful place!

Central Park in New York is pretty gorgeous at any time, but it really shines in the Fall when the leaves start changing colors.  Read about my recent trip there, see 6 different photos, and listen to me musing about using my new Sony camera and a small, nimble prime lens.  It's all good!

This is Avenue B Grocery, which is a really cool old grocery store tucked away on a quiet street in Austin.  It's like walking back into the 1950's or something.  Here are 5 pics I caught at sunrise one morning last Fall.

Austin has so much to shoot, and I am back on the trail of capturing it!  I am also out getting more familiar with my new Sony A7II and share some thoughts about it in today's post.  Read on and enjoy!
