Farewell to the Old Red
October 23, 2021
I’ve photographed many times at the Old Red Museum in downtown Dallas. It’s a distinct Dallas landmark that used to be the Dallas courthouse, but became a museum and event space for several decades – until now. It’s turning back into a courthouse again in 2022. I photographed Veronica and Patrick there for the very […]
Dance in Big D
October 8, 2020
I’ve worked with Michelle and Sergey of Studio 22 for over a decade, photographing them for their promotional needs. It’s a challenging but fun assignment to capture them and their instructors as they dance. They are all immensely talented. Here’s a gallery of some of the photos I took of them late last year:
Portrait Photography as History
September 23, 2020
A project I’m working on is to scan family photographs dating back to the 19th century, although most are from the 1940s to 1960s. It has reminded me of something I’ve longed believed – that photographers don’t just create images for those in the present day, they also create documents that will eventually be seen […]
More 3D Photos

Here are a few more stereo images I’ve photographed in the past few years with a Fuji W3:
Flat Stanley Fun
August 12, 2020
Just a follow-up to the previous travel post. My wife, Erin, works in a library, and it has a tradition of bringing a ‘retired’ book stamp on employee vacations for photos. Stamper has been all over! The library’s idea to bring Stamper came from the children’s book ‘Flat Stanley’ and the Flat Stanley Project that […]
Personal Trips (3 of 3)
August 5, 2020
While we’re still in the ‘no travel’ era, I’m catching up on some previous notable trips that Erin and I have been on in the past few years. An easy favorite was our trip to Italy in 2018 to visit good friends of ours. They live in Vicenza, Italy, and on that visit we also […]
Personal Trips (2 of 3)
July 29, 2020
I’ve been to Las Vegas more than ten times now – always for a convention, either as an attendee for a photographic industry gathering or as a photographer covering an event for a different industry. The last few times, I’ve tried to tack on a one- or two-day personal trip to visit one of the […]
Personal Trips (1 of 3)
July 22, 2020
In the past few years, Erin and I have had the chance to see a number of spots we’d wanted to visit since we were married. My next three posts will share some images and thoughts from a few of those trips. Our NYC trip was several years ago now, but I wanted to share […]
Updating….
July 16, 2020
It’s been a few years, sigh, since my last update to this website. Not great, I know. But on the plus side, it’s been a busy past few years! As I wrote on an earlier post here, my client work will always receive my attention first. As we all know, it’s been a trying time […]
The State Fair of Texas: Personal Project 3/3
October 11, 2015
This year’s project at the State Fair of Texas was to photograph it in glorious 3D! I’ve been fascinated with three dimensional photography for a few years now, but it’s turned into a bit of an obsession recently. I purchased a Viewmaster Personal Stereo camera on eBay in 2008, and since then I’ve made dozens […]
