Airshow Images on the way!

Well, just a short note: I'm working through the images from the Memorial Day weekend celebration. About 2,500 images, and I've worked through about 300 of them so far. Much more soon.

Pilar's Graduation

Two weeks ago, my wife and I were in College Station, TX for the graduation of an "adopted" daughter of ours. Pilar is from Equatorial Guinea, and has just graduated with a degree in Geoscience. We are so proud of her: she came to this country knowing no one, and not knowing a word of English.

In the time since she's arrived, she's created a strong network of supportive friends, learned the language AND the culture, and excelled in her studies. A very impressive young woman. We met her when our daughter became friends with Pilar. She spent some holidays with us, becoming part of the family in the bargain (we got the good end of that bargain!).

Naturally, I had to pull out the camera and get a few fun shots:





Congratulations, Pilar! We're proud of you.

Abandoned 2

Today I went out for a short photo shoot over lunch. It's a great decompress. I'm still a people photographer, but my lunchtime shoots need to be non-people, so they can be short. My favorite non-people subject is abandoned properties. I found a new one the other day, so I went by today to get these shots:

Scheduling Senior Photos

Just a quick comment: I noticed that the local high schools have told their juniors to start getting their senior pictures put together. I'm starting to book times for senior photos; if you'd like to schedule a time, please give me a call or drop me an email so we can schedule the best time for you.

Textures

Recently, I was in Lawrence, KS and had some time to shoot for fun (is it a passion or an addiction???). While there, I stopped by a park that has an old steam engine on display:

The train itself was pretty interesting, but as I shot, I became more and more enamored of the textures on the train.
