Crossroads in Concert


These photos show Crossroads performing live in a recent concert. The band is very versatile, performing a wide range of soft rock and classic rock songs, mostly from the 1960s and 1970s. They hired me (freelance) to take pix and to put together a photo collage. The collage is the final photo in the slideshow.

Nature


Hope you enjoy this tapestry of landscape, plants and animal photos I have taken during some of my ramblings. I try to have a camera handy at all times, because there are always so many beautiful and wondrous images to capture in God's great big wonderful world.

Firefighters in Action


Here's a slideshow of San Jacinto College Fire Technology cadets during "wet" training. They work in teams to attempt to bring a runaway high-pressure hose under control. The hose has the metal nozzle removed to avoid causing injuries. Got soaking wet taking the pix, but I also had a great time. They hoisted me up in a snorkel ladder bucket for the aerial shots.

Firefighters in Action (Part 2)


Recently took photos of San Jacinto College fire protection technology students training at the La Porte VFD training complex. They have to wear hot, heavy protective gear and train inside fiery buildings. (The buildings are specially designed to take the heat without damage). I have a lot of respect and admiration for anyone dedicated enough to go through such strenuous and demanding training.

Mikey & Ian


Recently set up a home studio for a photo session of my niece Mikey and her boyfriend Ian. Pix include individual portraits of Ian, followed by portraits of Mikey, and then followed by photos of the 2 together, and then concluding with some carefree, candid photos of Mikey. The slideshow includes background music, so you may need to adjust your volume.
