Many of my photos in this part of the world have been shot on the go with my Nexus 5 or Nexus 6 mobile phone. Usually from a taxi or while walking to/from a meeting or meal, stopping for only a few seconds to compose and then snap the shutter if something caught my eye, then sprinting to catch up with colleagues.

The Truth is Out There…
Shot these last Friday evening on US-67 just west of Marfa, and in particular just west of the the ”Marfa Mystery Lights Viewing Area.” We originally had plans to attend the Star Party at the McDonald Observatory that evening. That didn’t work out as the weather was not cooperating. So we bailed on those plans and were heading back towards… Continue reading The Truth is Out There…

James wasn’t… Continue reading An inspiring and challenging week in the Big Bend

Perfect for sitting outside with a refreshing beverage… Continue reading Shootin’ in Big Bend

The waters are pure in most spots, the beaches unspoiled, and you never feel like there is a crowd. There were several times we’d head to a favorite beach and would… Continue reading BACKSTORY: Ballyquin Beach
Checking out some first orders prints…
I’m experimenting with adding video commentary to my blog. Here’s my first video post.
BACKSTORY: Cortona Sun
Cortona is a small wine-producing town in the province of Arezzo, in Tuscany, Italy. While living in Ireland for 5 years we had the opportunity to visit this area a few times between 2010 and 2013, and always in the summer. As we were on holiday and based ourselves in nearby Lucignano, each day around noon my wife and I would look at each… Continue reading BACKSTORY: Cortona Sun
