Trolley Time Machine
This trolley was originally built in 1909 in Philadelphia and named the Crescent Rose. It was then exported to Porto, Portugal where it was in service daily until 1978. It was then shipped back to the states where it saw service in San Francisco and was finally bought and brought to Dallas. All in all, [...]
Vacancy
There was plenty of vacancy here at this old abandoned motel in the middle of New Mexico.
Hubbard Creek
Sunset over Hubbard Creek Lake.
Monarch at Twilight
I was just finishing shooting a lovely sunset when I noticed that a Monarch butterfly had landed on a plant next to me. I sat and watched it for a moment and realized, “Hey! Get your camera stupid!”. I quickly worked to position my tripod and get a shot. The first shot I got was [...]
Tree of Souls
An old tree sits in the dry lake bed waiting for a drink during the longest and driest drought period in Texas history.

All that remains of the old barracks at the Civil War Fort Washita in Oklahoma. As I stood here in the late evening I was trying to keep my wits about me after shooting in the nearby graveyard earlier. I kept getting very eery breezes that were ice cold all while this was shot on [...]
Abduction
When driving for long periods of time across vast sections of the Texas plains, you start to get a bit punch-drunk after awhile. This was one of those instances and I’d pulled over to stretch the legs and get some fresh air. I hadn’t even seen a light, another car, nothing.. for several hours. So, [...]

This was a tricky shot. As I was alone at about 3 a.m. and standing on a bridge in heavy winds while trying to simultaneously light the wick, open and close the shutter. Of course I was trying to avoid getting hit by a drunk driver since there is really no where to run out [...]
Broken Dreams on Route 66
This is an abandoned motor lodge right on the old section of Route 66 near the Oklahoma/Texas border. This used to be quite the roadside attraction back in the day but now it sits as yet another ghostly reminder of the demise of the original Route 66 as the new Interstate 40 slowly replaced it.
