slip and slide

I love these shots of the boys. Every summer there's this unofficial ushering in of the season when we turn on the sprinklers, or break out the slip and slide, or whatever, and just let the kids do what they do best, which is have fun. I take pictures like this every time, but every time they're great. In just one frame of the boys I capture everything summer is supposed to feel like: being outside, the hot weather, cooling off, relaxing or playing... Well, everything that Old Navy commercials tell you what summer's supposed to feel like.

summer storms

One crazy storm blew through town yesterday, bringing wind, rain, hail, and an awesome light show.
oh, geez. wow. that's a small image. well, hopefully you can click on it to see it close up.

crawfish boil

Sorry for my absence everyone, been busy working and working towards certain projects. But, thought I'd do my thing here and bring a little bit of Louisiana back to Texas with this shot of a big ol' pile of crawfish just waiting to be de-tailed, peeled, and eatin'. Man, dat's good stuff!

suburban school

So, went walking through the neighborhood the other day, and just happened upon a vintage school desk just sittin' out in somebody's yard. So, what does a school desk need? A school boy. Ewan was just the right size.

masquerade

Another cool shot taken at the prom.

Lately I've been getting a bug in me to emphasis the 'art' in artbrandphoto and come up with more 'fine art' photographs. These will be displayed soon enough. It involves things I love such as: post cards, Polaroids, coffee, crayons, etc. And maybe a weird black thing...more later.

at the prom

I photographed these calla lilies at a prom last Saturday night. The event was held at the Waxahatchie Civic Center and in the main foyer was this huge arrangement of calla lilies front and center. I had crouched down beside the arrangement to get a low angle shot of the kids walking down the hallway when I look up to see these flowers just begging to be photographed. The light and tone of the shot was quite unexpected, and I'm not so sure about the white orb in the background. Without knowing the back story of the photo, does that look like a moon-or a light? But the flowers are beautiful-and I don't even know if they are real.
