Time for Understanding

I was going through old images today and came across this man I met in New Orleans. He had a bad leg and was in a desperate situation. I began talking with him and he looked at me and started explaining how his life started falling apart. He is a good man, but has lost hope. He told me"This is not me, I'm better than what you see." I believe this to be true about a lot of people we pass on the street. This time of the year is about the birth of Jesus Christ. So let's remember compassion.

Grease Wars

One of my favorite nephews wedding is coming up and all of his future in-laws are from up north. We thought it would be funny to expose them to a southern redneck family photo op. We run our truck on waste vegetable oil so we used that as our prop. We had a lot of fun, but it was cold.

Patriotic Texture

This is part of an exercise I have assigned myself.  There will be many more editorial photos like this to come.

Textures

It is amazing what you discover by looking up close at your surroundings. We walk by interesting things everyday. Usefull things. I am going to start using these textures in backgrounds for other images. I love photoshop.

Last of the Tomatoes

We had a great garden this summer. I guess it is finally over. Time to prepare for next year.
