Some photographers find product photography tedious. I find it FUN! How else would I get to arrange things in such specific shapes?! (by the way, had to turn the AC off so it would not blow the brushes out of place) Tedious?

So that’s what you can do with all those tangy orange fruits growing on trees around the neighborhood. Once it’s ready I’m going to force carbonate it to give it some pizazz…..
You can get that recipe and more at Defalco’s
Check out Melissa’s wonderful jewelry designs. She actually uses REAL roman coins! Imagine the Caeser coming home from war to a triumph, throwing out coins to the people. You can have this around your neck!
Now this is the kind of portrait I can sink my teeth into! This young couple chose a wonderful theme for their engagement shoot! It didn’t hurt that he was a sailor. The story of the original kiss V-J day in Times Square is really interesting (READ ABOUT IT HERE) In choosing a location for this – I knew it had to be downtown. But at 6pm on a Monday, I wondered how we’d get that “middle of the street” look – then it came to me. Thank god for the light rail!
Wow – Fleming’s BBQ Shrimp was actually more fun to eat than photograph! (one of the benefits of shooting food) I knew they had a great selection of steak and wine but never thought to venture out into other parts of their menu – Maeve Pesquera at Fleming’s River Oaks is ready to provide you great food and service!
So I was backpacking on the Lone Star Trail and set up camp in a nice spot. I placed my hat on top of a stump and went about my business. The next morning, as I was getting ready to move on, I pick up my hat, and before PLACING IT ON MY HEAD, I decided to look:
What is this black dot in my hat?
Thank goodness I checked!
Latrodectus mactans, the (southern) Black widow, is a highly venomous species of spider in the genus Latrodectus. They are well known for the distinctive black and red coloring of the female of the species and for the fact that she will occasionally eat her mate after reproduction. The species is native to the United States of America and Mexico. The female black widow’s venom is particularly harmful to humans (males almost never bite humans). The injection of venom from these species is a comparatively dangerous or lethal bite.
I don’t have a pretty picture of my Bougainvillea to show you. It’s leafless and bare – a victim of Houston’s winter storm. I never covered up my plants for a hard freeze before, saying something like, “survival of the fittest” to myself. Even if I had learned that yes, a hard freeze will indeed kill your plants, I wouldn’t have covered up the Bougainvillea. I probably bought it outside Kroger’s for 12$ over 10 years ago. It traveled from one porch to another with me to find it’s place here, in the front corner of my front yard, along the wrought iron fence, planted in the ground – a key point of my landscape. It provided beauty with it’s blooms and security with its thorns. I hear bougainvilleas bloom under stress – so I guess I assumed it was indestructible. Despite the negligence I offered in exchange for its protection and brilliance, it was a shock to see it not re-emerge with green this spring. It was one of the few constants in my life – even in death it provides a thorny warning to intruders…..and will be sorely missed.
Take care of what is important to you – but first, decide what is important to you.
During a recent engagement session at Hermann Park, my clients and I came across a black cat in “stalk” mode. It’s always interesting watching a cat do this, moving without moving in a way….This cat being black, was hidden in the shadows very well. We decided to stick around and see how this played out, not expecting what was about happen. *Spoiler Alert* the Squirrel gets away…
