We were in Grapevine, Texas, on business on this particular afternoon in June 2025, and the weather was quite warm. So while there wasn’t time for a lot of sightseeing, I did manage to take a quick stroll down the street and take note of a few historical details. I later realized that I had been here at least once […]
The Big Guy and I are both the youngest siblings in our families; I have two older sisters, while he has an older sister and an older brother. In going through the stacks of family photos, I’m pleased to see plenty of pictures of him with his siblings as well as his parents — quite a lot of Christmas season […]

Each of these was shot during the month of April between 2009 and 2016, […]
I do enjoy shooting scenes with some sort of framing around them, but I don’t do it very often. That’s mostly because I do a lot of outdoor photography, and also because my results are only successful about half the time.
