Early one morning this past fall I hiked out to a bluff at Big South Fork where I like to photograph. It offers so many photographic opportunities that I find myself drawn to it anytime that I am in the area. This time however it was so socked in with fog that I finally decided to head back. It was on the walk back that the fog shrouded forest inspired me to create this image.

On May 2-4 2014, I will be leading a workshop at Big South National Recreation Area where this image was created. You can find the details by clicking HERE .

I was hiking along the edge of a rock bluff when I began to see wonderful abstract patterns written in the eroded stone. Hours past as I composed images of stone……

We just received an updated cover for our new book Treasures Untold from the graphic designer. We are excited to see the project moving forward and we like the look!

“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.”  ~John Muir

I arrived along the river at sunrise and spent the entire day wandering along its edge making images. As so often happens it was almost dark before I began the hike back. I hadn’t gone very far when I saw these boulders reflecting in the water.  I paused to create this image and “reflect” upon the day with them.

One of our clients sent us this picture of an installation of one of our images as an ” around the corner” installation in a healthcare facility. It is on frosted Plexi and it is 8 feet high by 16 feet long! We think it is a creative way to approach using art for a corridor space.

Paul Kingsbury and I are making some final image selections for our upcoming book Treasures Untold. Here is one from the Duck River that will be included. After the first of the year we will be sharing how you will be able to get a copy!

There is a zone I strive for when creating photographs. It is probably similar to the zone athletes and other artists reach where time stops and there is only this moment…..

It is a wondrous place!

I was photographing in early spring in the Texas Hill country and I became fascinated by the abstract patterns that were being created and changed almost instantly by the wind. The wind can create problems for photography but it can also create opportunities!

“It’s on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds
a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.”
~Claude Monet

This year’s fall season winds quietly down along the Little River. I love the quiet time that I spend alone in nature creating images at this time of year. Things slow down and my image making becomes more contemplative.
