That’s a good question! I really loved landscape photography and creating those types of images that you would see on postcards or calendars. Also, I photographed with the f-word : FILM. I was looking through my refrigerator and I still have film in there! It’s probably gone bad by now. Also, this was before what I knew what photoshop was all about. Wow, have times changed.
Here’s some unretouched scanned film negatives taken a while back.
Wow – I can’t believe it! We won hands-down! I really wanted to go to the game, but I couldn’t fathom putting down a $1,000.00 a ticket for the game. It was awesome to watch, and I still can’t believe it.
Here’s some awesome photography that I wish I could have captured.

Geaux Tigers!
I always wondered who makes those bobble-head dolls like the one of Dwight Shrute on NBC’s the Office?

Well, there is a website that can take pictures that you submit and can create a bobblehead of yourself – check this site out:
I was at the Apple store the other day checking out the new ipods. I watched one of the sample videos on the video ipod and thought I had to share this with other folks because it was just so funny. I laughed so hard that I cried!
While modern photography can be trendy and cool, I try to shy away from some of the extreme effects that some photographers do. This includes textures and such. We love colorful images that tell a story. We often take portraits, too, but we try to keep them so that they will capture the moment, while standing the test of time. It’s funny because wedding dresses AND tuxedo’s REALLY do show the age of images sometimes. For example, strapless dresses are in style now, but they are actually starting to phase out on the West and East Coast (Austin tends to be last in changes of style for wedding attire and wedding photography style).
Olan Mills was a huge portrait studio when I was a kid, and my parents brought me there for portraits when I was a child. Some of my portraits look like these:

I wanted to laugh at many of these. I just can’t get over how some of the men who are posed LOOK so feminine because of the pose! Don’t laugh too hard at these – I’m sure that you all some of these in your closet somewhere! My hope is that our portraits don’t look as dated 20-30 years from now as these do.
