Wedding and Portrait Photography
As I travel throughout the Hill Country, I always seem to find a little jewel here and there that I never knew existed. Such is the case with a small Catholic Church in Lacoste Texas. It’s a little southeast of Castroville. The church is gorgeous. I was there for the wedding of Barbara and Ricardo.
Save the Date Cards. This is something that seems to be less popular over the years with engaged couples, and it is a shame. For those of you who do not know what Save the Date cards are, it is a card that is mailed out traditionally about 6 months from the date of the… Read More
Philosophical Energy. It’s time to get a little deep. I believe that everything in our world is made up of energy. In that world, there are two kinds: positive and negative. We can also call it light and dark, or good and bad. Most people on an average day will experience both kinds. Positive energy… Read More
The term K9 usually refers to a Police Dog. As some of you know, I’ve been a police officer since 1984. As a photographer I’ve wanted to do a shoot with a K9 team for a long time, and it just never worked out. Last week, I did it, and I’m very proud of the… Read More
KAHIKI I want you to think of this as my Public Service Announcement. It could really save someone’s life. That’s why I post this stuff. That’s how I roll, and that’s the kind of guy I am. Before I get fully into the Review, let me preface by saying that my wife works nights, so… Read More
Uncle Bob is a term that wedding photographers use to describe a wedding guest who sometimes (usually) gets in the way of the hired photographer to get a picture on his camera or cell phone. I understand Uncle Bob. There’s usually at least one at every wedding. They want to be the FIRST one to post a video clip or a picture of the wedding on FaceBook or other social media. They all know the wedding couple have hired a professional wedding photographer, but they still feel it is their responsibility to get that shot because surely they have a better view or angle than that “Pro” does. They will get in the aisle while the bride is coming, or they will pop up to get the picture of “the kiss”. Read More

I discriminate. Yes, there… I said it. Not against a race, ethnicity, sexual preference or gender. I love all races, ethnicity, and love my gay friends. I’ve discovered after many years that I am mean to people who drink excessive alcohol. Without going into detail WHY I’m writing this, I just want to give some… Read More
When you go shopping for a picture frame, what’s the most “common” size you’ll find? 8″ x 10″. It’s been like that for… well, longer than I’ve been around. I remember when I first got into photography, (the film years) and took my film to the drugstore to get processed. I had 4″x6″ prints made,… Read More
My Foil Hat I’m a little worried about Whataburger. Apparently, they have figured out a way into my parietal lobe of my brain and figured out what makes me salivate like a starving Great Dane. I heard a commercial on the radio the other day that they were introducing a new burger: The “Chorizo Burger”… Read More
