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 [...]

I'd like to do some lake photography at sunset and sunrise. The easiest way to get the best photographs, is to camp out at a location on a lake. That way my vehicle is inside of the gates after the close and before they open. However, hiking alone isn't really all that fine. And hiking [...]

I've been digging through a lot of old photographs over the last week or so trying to recover files lost during the backup fiasco and recatalog and reindex everything. It has made me nostalgic. Not so much for the places or the people or the things I was involved with then, but because of the [...]

Imagine for a moment, if you will, the following scenario. A series of events, that, one by one and only in a particular order, add up to headache and destruction.
Imagine if every night all of the files from one directory are copied to a directory on a remote server using a piece of software that [...]

One of these days, the photography side of me will have its own journal so I won't have to bore the rest of you with this stuff. Until then, if you're local to DFW (or willing to fly/drive this way) and enjoy photography, art, hiking, and/or new [...]
