Even though the travel was personal and not business, I still took a ton of photos. This post is the last in a series of 4 dedicated to the images made during the trip.

Late last Saturday evening I got a last minute call to cover the 2010 Lonestar Iron Man triathlon that was taking place in Galveston, Texas.
SXSW 2010
It’s almost been a week since I departed Houston for Austin and the live music mecca that is South by Southwest, yet it still feels like I’m recovering. It’s mostly the severe seasonal allergies, but the journey wore me out, like it does every year, but like every year, I had a blast and saw [...]
BEST OF 2009
As we wrap up the first week of the new year I can’t help but reflect on the past year. There were struggles as there are with anything, but I’d be remised if I didn’t sit back and be thankful for the good things. I met a lot of great people, made a few new [...]
AFRICA
I have a laundry list of things to do and update and one of the most important things on my “to blog” list is my images from my trip to southern Africa last July. I spent a little over a week exploring various locales from the coastal villages near Cape Town to the border of [...]

KILLING TO CONSERVE
During my visit to Africa in July of last year, I spent a couple of days with Joeseph Ramakokovhu and Ruben Mhiangu of the Marula Lodge. The pair of native South Africans from the Venda and Sotho tribes, respectively, work as trackers for the big game lodge that caters to foreigners. The owner of the [...]
IPHONE ADVENTURE
Every year Libby and I send out a self-designed holiday card using our own skills as graphic artists and photographers. When it came time to produce this year’s card we had some initial trouble coming up with a fresh idea. After a bit of thinking I came up with the idea of using images taken [...]

DESTINATION: QATAR
I’ve been pretty busy lately and have much to catch up on the blog world. I still need to update my blog with my stuff from Africa, Brazil and my story completed at the Eddie Adams Workshop last month, but this post is devoted to a rather interesting trip I took last week to Qatar [...]
STREET ART RIO
After spending a good bit of time in Brasil, Ive noticed that in most cities, namely Rio de Janeiro, street art, whether it be graffiti, wheat pasting, stenciling or another form is thought of and subsequently dealt with a lot differently than it is here in Houston. Of course this differential may be a lot [...]
ARKANSAS VIA IPHONE
Last Wednesday I hopped on a plane and was whisked off to Little Rock, Arkansas.

What a weekend! I’ve been pretty busy shooting the past week. After shooting several assignments this week for the Houston Chronicle, I decided to take Friday night and shoot something for myself. I had seen that the Half Pint Brawlers were coming into town for a midget wrestling show and I knew that I had [...]
THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS
I have been doing a lot of video work, self-teaching and archiving lately, but today I actually did some still shooting so I felt it facilitated a blog posting. I was planning on heading out to check out some extreme ice sculpture when I found out that a few friends of mine were headed out [...]
ALL ON BLACK
I spent the last couple of days exploring Atlantic City and the Jersey shore. When the lady visits we usually make it a point to spend my days off exploring a new city or area of the East Coast. There are so many interesting areas within a few hours of Baltimore. It takes a significant [...]
AFTERMATH
I am slowly but surely getting my images and projects from the past few weeks edited and posted. Tonight I edited a few images from an essay I shot in my hometown of Galveston, Texas of the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. I only had a few hours on the island since they were still under [...]
PPC FIRST WEEK
So yesterday was the magically Internet hook-up day for me at my new Baltimore City place. It was a long time coming as life is frustrating when you are in a new place, away from friends and family, without Internet. Ive been working at Patuxent Publishing Company for a week now and it has been a ride so [...]
RIO
I have finally begun working on putting something together using my stills and video that I gathered on my trip to Rio de Janeiro back in January. Not exactly sure what direction it will end up taking, but for now here is a teaser of my introduction thus far.
