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 [...]

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, [...]

The first time I had Pho. A staple for late nighters, and anybody who loved Vietnamese food. Sadly – I saw the smoke…and from the 24 Hour Fitness parking lot I saw:

This was an exceptionally good concert. I had never been to the House of Blues before, so starting out in the Foundation Room I was a pretty good way to begin. As I walked into this dark place adorned with Persian rugs and Eastern tapestries – my jaw dropped. I didn’t care if I looked [...]

The Birds (1963) is a suspense film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, based on the short story of the same name by Daphne du Maurier. These birds fortunately did not attack me – but if they decided to, it would have made one heck of an interesting news story! Thousands of them kept congregating at this [...]

I am so ready to get back into a rythm of spending true time with nature! Backpacking can be one of the most rewarding hobbies – it’s healthy, full of entertainment, spiritual and doesn’t really cost very much! That’s why I have started the Houston Backpacking Network! The inaugural trek is going to be at [...]

I have been runnng across Lamborghinis lately. I’ve never had the opportunity to ride in one, I imagine you must feel like you are lying on the street. I did get to sit in Mario Andretti’s indy car once, and it fit like a glove. The Lambo is definitely a status symbol – wouldn’t it [...]
