Cynthia and I celebrate our 16th anniversary this weekend. It’s an ongoing journey of exploration and adventure and so much joy. I’m a lucky, LUCKY man…

Fork Apple

I like the BSD Daemon sticker on phliKtid’s shiny new MacBook Air. I also like the blue illumination of his eyes in this photo.

Sony Alpha 700
Tamron 17-50mm 2.8

Hurricane Dolly

There were some amazing storms early early this morning caused by the approaching hurricane “Dolly”

Since I am “lucky” enough to be up at the crack of dawn I was lucky enough to see the sun punch a hole in the storm clouds as I rolled into work.

1400 Smith St.

Call it what you may, but 1400 Smith St. will always be “The Enron Building” to me.

This was shot handheld from Bell @ Louisiana using my 17-50mm 2.8

Skate Free Or Die

The Lee and Joe Jamail Skatepark nestles up to the Houston skyline over near Sabine and Memorial Drive. A state-of-the-art 30,000 square foot in-ground public facility, it’s pretty spectacular to see and, being free, a great entertainment opportunity for skaters and observers on any given day. It’s also well lit and open till 10pm so you come late and beat the heat.

My friend Groovehouse had been posting some pics to his Flickr site and I thought I might go try my hand.

Fortunately when I arrived at the park Groovehouse happened to be there. You can see him working his craft in these two photos:

I really like this place. The lighting, the people, the layout of the park. It’s fun to just watch and it’s really fun to shoot.

Groove helped me out with some tips and was especially helpful in pointing out who the particularly good skaters were so I could be ready to shoot when they “dropped in.”

This is Ben Raybourn

And this is Charlie Urquhart:

Obviously, I’ve got a lot to learn about shooting this kind of stuff.

I have some additional photos here.

The (original) El Orbits

Jim Henkel on guitar, David Beebe on vocals and drum and Allen Hill on bass.

Dwight Can Has iPhone

Looks very cool larger and on black

Dwight Silverman of The Houston Chronicle’s Tech Blog and co-host of Technology Bytes proudly shows us his iPhone. I chose to let the iPhone remain in color while desaturating the rest. I find the contrast between the shiny new technology and the not so shiny new tech geek rather compelling.

Nothing personal, Dwight!

Dr. Szell wants to know… is it safe?

My dentist is also a photog and agreed to let me take this “patient-eye view” shot from the dentist’s chair. The wide angle just makes your teeth twitch, don’t it?
