Although we try to saturate the kids in the arts, you can't keep a guy from loving sports. So, we enrolled Aidan in basketball this year. The little guy did pretty good, scoring a goal here and there, really hustling up and down the court. Here's some pics we took off the court.

Had the idea for these photos for the past month or so, finally got the chance to carry it out. I love it when I get an idea, then get to really flesh it out. These came out exactly how I imagined them.

I've never shot at the water gardens down town, so when Lazer (aka: Ashley) and Neal asked me too, I of course said yes-but had my reservations about the location it being so monochromatic (at times) and angular. But I was completely wrong, and their engagement session proves it! I love every shot, but I don't want to give them all away, so here's a few favs.

A quick peak at some upcoming engagements... stay tuned...

did anyone say, "mineral wells?"

Ah! Mineral Wells, my favorite Texas town of old with it's runned down everything and random miscellaneous stuff that one finds just driving through town. A documentary photographer's dream. Here's a shot take recently when I was working in the small town. Three crosses...one a little more rugged than the other, an overcast cold, windy day-and my lens baby (let's go make some pictures)!

jenny and john, engagements

Jenny and John are engaged! Here's more (as promised) from their engagement session we did at Cityview Lanes off of Oakmont Blvd. A hot spot for them, they bowl every week, so we asked why not take some engagements there? I love the blue aquatic background, great for the colors they were wearing, and a quick thanks to the lanes for letting me shoot in their alley, I appreciate it!

snowmen: part II

More snowmen from the neighborhood:

The Shriner and The Republican

The Salesman and The Clown

snowmen: part I

So, interesting things happen when the world grows cold and snowfall blankets the city, especially a city that never gets snow like this, people emerge. Formed sometimes over night, or in the morning. Sometimes you can drive and see them half-born, forming, but not yet alive. Snowmen. They were everywhere, each taking on their own personality, their own back story, their own voice and opinion. Here are a few I've met:

Our snowman, and our barista.

The busybody, The loud obnoxious neighbor.

The hipster, and Mr. Creepy.

snowfall

On the morning of February the 12th, this was the view outside my back door. A reported 12 inches of snow fell on Fort Worth that day, the most I'd seen since I've lived here, and the most the city has seen in 31 years (you may need to fact check me, but it's been a while). Even now, days later, snow still remains on the ground in some spots. It was awesome.
