It has been awhile since my last post, but with a death in the family, life just gets crazy. I was in El Paso Texas last week for a funeral and although I did not really have any time to shoot, I was able to get one last capture of the rugged Franklin mountains. I say one last capture because I am not sure I will ever get back to the El Paso area again. At least not any time soon. I have no more relatives living there now. I won’t miss the area, but I will miss some of the best Mexican food you can find. Viva El Chicos Tacos! Or something like that. 
I went out to a photography club event last night to shoot the Dallas skyline. Lots of photographers made the event and it was fun to see everyone!

Grand landscapes provide some of the most eye catching and awe inspiring photographs. More times than not it is this type of image that dominates our preconceived vision of what we strive to capture when we head out the door with our camera. The reality is that grand landscapes, while stunning and eye catching, often distract us from other eye catching and inspiring photo subjects.

I wake up in the morning, go downstairs while two little dogs follow me to go outside. While they do their business I get my morning coffee brewed and sit down on my MacBook to catch up on today’s events. Check e-mail and look…what do I have here? I have made a framed print sale on one of my photographs! This is the fourth sale of this photo and though I do not know the people who chose to purchase this photo, my best guess is that they are Longhorns in some way or another.
So a BIG THANKS goes out to the person who made this purchase and thanks to all the people out there who continue to support my work. It truly makes my day! GO HORNS!!!

Composition for a photograph is like a screenplay for a movie. If the picture isn’t composed well, it won’t strike a cord with the viewer regardless of the technical expertise or the story being told. Composition skills improve over time with constant practice. Here are some of the basic composition tips with a picture to illustrate each of those tips. The example pictures were all taken in one day while driving through Eastern Washington. These tips will help train your eyes to see the frames, an important point if you want to take great pictures.
