These fickle, fuddled words confuse me Like 'Will it rain today?' ~ Dave Matthews, "The Space Between" As much as I love trekking to the beach on bright sunny days, I love even more heading to the Gulf when the weather is not so pretty. Watching and photographing storms rolling into shore is exhilarating. Last … Continue reading Will it rain today?

I've been whining lately that I'm running out of places to go on my photo hikes. I've done beaches, I've done the local state parks, I've found out-of-the-way trails that aren't on any maps. What could I do to mix things up? I was getting tired of taking the same photos over and over, changing … Continue reading Off track

Gas prices are killing me and severely thwarting my photo road trips. If I gas up in town it's around $3.90/gal, a short drive across the bay into Tourist Town and it jumps over 20¢.

We're visiting the in-laws this weekend and that gave me a chance to photograph my FIL's collection of old Willys trucks. They are great old cars, lots of character and personality. I went out early in the morning, which gave me some wonderful shadows and light. I had originally planned to post-edit all the images … Continue reading Willys graveyard

Spring break: the bitch is back!

I got called a Bitch this weekend... and I could not be more satisfied. The area where I live is a big tourist destination. Being that Spring Break has begun, tourist have been flocking to the beaches like seagulls looking for cold french fries. I know that our area depends on tourist dollars.
