T Minus 24 days to TEXAS!!!

Apr 012011
 

Yep, before you say anything or post a comment, I know I have been severely absent from all the blogs as of late.  Sorry about that and I am doing my best to get back in the saddle so to speak.

But enough of that.  As of today there is only 24 days left until I am kicking my heels up and hanging out with my great buddy Jeff Lynch on the next installment of the Texas landscape Safari.

I started thinking about the last trip out there and WHAT A BLAST it was to go to all these amazing locations.  I dug up some images from the old files and decided to give folks a preview of what is out there in Texas.  At the same time I thought I would play around with SEP 2 a bit more and have some fun…

 

 

If you are coming out to Texas for the event.  I will be the guy in the cowboy boots and hat (can’t miss me )

One more from this past weekends adventures.  Saw this single Oak tree with leaves that were extremely bright compared to the surrounding trees so I did what I thought was best and photographed it :)

Words of Deaf Ears

So not too long ago my friend Mark Krajnak wrote an article about missing the shot, it struck home and I went out an snagged a shot of an old truck that I have been wanting forever, but never took the time to go get it until Mark’s GOYA made me realize it could be gone any second. Now back to the present, me and my wayward excursions of roads less traveled, I realized that there was an old General Store on a backroad that I took over 6 years ago that I didn’t get a shot of at the time, because I had no camera with me (yes, I have learned from that mistake). So I loaded up the gear and set off to find this old place that I have thought of so many times, but spaced it every time I went in that direction. What I found is this:

Just so happened when I arrived there was a group of bicyclist all staging near the old place that had been riding through here for a while, they told me the building collapsed about 2 years back in a big storm that rolled through the valley. Words can’t honestly describe how angry I was at myself for not getting back out there sooner. I even had found notes on shot ideas for that location. I know even if I would have went when I was out to go shoot that truck that the building would still have been gone, but it is still a big disappointment to me. So I said it once and I will say it again, if you see something SHOOT IT!!!
