I would like to share this video by Derrill Mallett of Rising Tide New Media . It was filmed at Fort Crockett while we were photographing the rock arch I built  .

Rising Tide New Media plans on documenting people on the Gulf Coast . I will post his projects as he publishes them . I cannot thank him enough for doing this video.

Sometimes a photo fits an experience better after time.

I feel this photo reflects how some of us landed on our feet and others were not so lucky .

We took the world famous Tracker and loaded her with beach balls and off to the seawall.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
It was the 100 year snow in Galveston. I had been trying to shoot the 1900 storm statue on seawall for years. It was a hard shot. The snow was amazing everyone and Cree and I decided it was deep enough to build our own snowman. After discussing a few locations it occurred to me that the snowman represented life and death . Off we went to build the most famous snowman ever built in Galveston.
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our 2006 witch project was another art photography success. It was the cover photo for our Galveston’s Twisted Parrot. We built the witch in the back yard and put her on a trailer . I decided to try to use gunpowder to light her for the shoots instead of a flash. You cannot imagine how much attention we got pulling the witch around town for a month .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most of my photography is now night  and time exposure shots. The range of opportunity is unlimited at night or under low light.

 

 

 

 

This is a popular night photo .A sparkler and a 8 second exposure.
