I've photographed with Nikon cameras for over 10 years now. Sure, that's not nearly as many years as some of the outstanding photographers using this equipment today, but I'd like to think that 10 years not only marks me as a loyal customer but also means that I might know a thing or two about [...]

In the past two days, I have purchased two new bags with two very different purposes. I have already started to rethink both of them.
The first bag I bought is a backpack. Nothing too special: well made, durable, somewhat weather proof, lots of pockets, holds a laptop, and looks nice.
The second is a photographer's shoulder [...]

I'm slowly getting caught up on photographs. This morning I mostly finished editing a session that is well over a year old. I can't believe I've let myself get this far behind. I guess that's what happens when other, more important things, take precedence. I really need to find a way to edit images on my [...]

My desire to organize my life tends to ebb and flow. Lately, I've been trying to straighten out the growing collection of photographs that I have, both at home, and that I share online. The methods I'm employing at home are probably of more interest to my Shrink than they are to you, but, you [...]

With a name like Beaver Lake Nature Center (complete with Observation Deck) I was sure it would hold enough beavers that I might actually see and photograph one. As a testament to that, on the way there I saw no less than three beavers on the side of the highway, taking in the last few [...]

My photo session for this evening canceled a few minutes ago. If any of you would like to stand in, give me a shout. It'll have to be studio work unless you're into standing in the rain and getting soaking wet (which is also fine by me), because it doesn't look like it's going to [...]

Believe it or not, after 8+ years of blogging (7 years of which is nearly fully visible on this site) I still haven't figured out where I want to put what. But who cares.
Here's a sampling of images I took at the Fort Worth Nature Preserve a few weekends ago with my dad. There are [...]

Despite my best efforts, I never did see any beavers last night. To be honest, I've only ever seen a beaver in the wild once, so I'm not entirely certain what their habits are, or where the best places to wait out to see them are. I saw a few structures that might [...]

Back in March, Jess and I went hiking in Green Lakes State Park near Syracuse. I couldn't help but notice all of the fallen cottonwoods boarding the lake, the tell tale signs of beaver incisors indicating their demise. While we never actually saw any of the living creatures, I knew that heading there at the [...]

It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow. I had scheduled a photo session in the rain for Saturday evening with a great subject, but she forgot that she already had made plans for the day and had to cancel.
Anyone else want to give it a shot? We'll meet near-ish to Denton around 6:30pm Saturday evening. The session will [...]
