Images from my weekend

(I took this image Sunday afternoon on the bridge over Lady Bird Lake near the Barton Springs bridge which you can see filled with cars.)

Photography is just like anything else, you have to keep doing it to get good at it. I am a very visual person so I have an eye for what works and what doesn't. Even though I've been taking pictures for over 35 years, I have only been shooting digital since 2004. I came to the realization around that time that I was an artist that happen to take pictures. I try to recreate in digital what I did with film. I very seldom use photo shop. If I can't capture you the way you are then no need to make you look like someone your not. And even if a subject want to look different, that's what make up is for, but I tend to stay away from people who wear too much. I like to photograph natural beauty.

 (This was an early morning shot as the sun was in the East.) 

I've always loved skylines, but its difficult to capture them unless you have access to a pedestrian bridge or someone else is driving while you take pictures. 

(This is a reflection of a condo about a mile away from the Zachery Scott Theater.)

I am always looking to try something different, but I also like to do things I've done in the past. I try to copy myself sometimes as opposed to copying other photographers. Sometimes you realize someone has already done what you're doing so you have to think of a subtle way to make it your own.

(The sculpture is called Cowbella) This is near the Bobby Pavillion at the Zachery Scott Theater. I took this one Sunday evening after attending the performance of Too Darn Fosse in the Kleberg Theater.)

I enjoy taking pictures of nature, but you have to be very patient. I guess when I was younger like most people I just didn't want to sit in one place waiting for that perfect shot. People are a lot easier. When you become one with nature the creatures aren't afraid of you.
