I have lived in Texas most of my life and have never been to one of the most beautiful landscapes in the state – Big Bend National Park. I have been around the area a few times, but never made it into the park. The main reason for this is the remoteness of the park.… Read More Camping and Hiking Trip to Big Bend
After to going to Hong Kong for fun, I was in Penang Malaysia for work. Most of my time was there for business and I didn’t really plan any photo shooting outings. Most evenings, when I made it back to the hotel, it was dark or raining or both anyway. But, one evening I was… Read More Boats on a Gray Day in Penang
On Saturday in Hong Kong, I wanted to take an easier day than the one before on Lamma Island. I decided to take the tram to Victoria Peak and hike around and enjoy the view. I did this a few years ago on a long layover, but I had more time on this trip and… Read More Victoria Peak
One hike that I read good things about when looking into Hong Kong, was the paths on Lamma Island. I read that it would not be crowded at all and there would be nice scenery and beaches. Lamma Island is a bit south of Hong Kong island and is quite a bit smaller. I don’t… Read More Lamma Island Hike in Hong Kong

I am currently planning a long hike with camera for an upcoming trip to Hong Kong that I am lucky enough to get to take. I will only be there for three days and I am mainly interested in site seeing. I know a lot of people want to go eat exotic cuisines or go… Read More Planning a Hike
It was labor day in the United States, which means no labor, and I took the kids to a drive thru wildlife ranch. The place has a lot of African animals, mostly ungulates, and they hang out near the road for the kids to see and throw out food for. I thought it would also… Read More Animals
As mentioned in this post, I set up in a parking garage to photograph a sunset over downtown Austin. There were a lot of clouds in the sky and I had high hopes of a nice sunset show over the city. So, I patiently waited for the sun to sink. I took this photo as the… Read More Sunset Over Austin
At Hot Springs National Park there is a tower on top of one of the high hills that is not affiliated with the national park as I understand. After following a winding road up the mountain, you can go to the top of the tower via an elevator (if you buy a ticket). On one… Read More Hot Springs Panorama
While on vacation, I had the chance to sit on the balcony and watch the sunset a few times. On one particular evening I could see the sun streaking across the water under a highway bridge and I thought it might make a nice picture. My first attempt had the sun sitting just on top… Read More Sunset Over Lake Hamilton
