Dave and Merlin

Sometimes, it’s really a good thing to have a camera stashed away in your vehicle. Such was the case when this fellow, Dave, came walking by a Southlake restaurant, where I’d just finish lunch. He was out taking his bird, Merlin, for a walk.

Cooper

It’s been so hot lately that I haven’t been doing a whole lot of shooting. However, I did manage to make a few shots of the neighbor’s cat, Cooper.

Update: Home Studio

As some of you are aware, I’ve been looking into the possibility of converting my garage into a home studio, where I could conduct portrait and headshot sessions. Well, as they say in west Texas, it ain’t happ’nen. After further thought, I’ve nixed this idea due to one reason: the Texas heat. There is just no way I would be able to keep it cool and comfortable enough to work in without actually converting the space into a room that’s fully insulated and air-conditioned. To do that, the expense would be too great (we still need to be able to use the garage for our vehicles). That’s the downside.

Here’s the upside. There is a fully-equipped studio space not far from my home that I can rent whenever I need it. All I have to do is bring my cameras and any special lighting equipment that’s not available at the studio. No messy conversion. No huge cash outlay. Just a short drive of about 15 minutes. It doesn’t get much better than that.

I’m hoping that you will begin to see some studio portraits posted here in the near future.

Colleyville Victorian

Every now-and-then, a property will beg for my photographic attention. This unexpected jewel at an undisclosed location in Colleyville is one of those properties. The tract of land is larger than what’s shown here.

Vetro Art Glass

Something a little different with a Photoshop plug-in called Topaz Adjust. I’m just trying it out on a trial basis at the moment, but I like what I see.
