Oklahoma is Our Home

What can I write about today? What can I say? I could write about the tornado that struck Moore and the incredible outpouring of help and compassion shown by not only other Oklahomans but the world. I, as a photographer really am fascinated by natural disasters and the power of... Continue reading

Galveston Getaway Part One

So what better thing to do after a tiring weekend finishing graduate school and a crazy three days of graduation ceremonies than to head to the beach for a relaxing weekend. Except weekend getaways are usually anything but "relaxing." They are expensive and tiring, but well worth it. Just my... Continue reading

So As I Sit Here

Feeling as old as the paint slowly fading away on this house. A process of growing older, vibrant and then accepting our fate and slowly fading away into memories. Fading into nothing, the beloved places turn into forgotten rusty barns and houses falling in. Our stories become their history. Someday... Continue reading

The Monday Morning My Electrical Box Got Fried (Updated)

So, this is more of a blog type post than a photography one. But, it is definitely a Monday in my house. I actually got up early enough to cook breakfast and felt pretty good and then about 7:45 the power started doing really weird things. My lights started browning... Continue reading

This is Why I Love OU

I'm in my last week of finishing my Master's Degree at OU. The University of Oklahoma, those symbols "OU" are everywhere you go. You can't drive down a street without seeing "OU" emblazoned on somone's car. You can't walk into a restaurant or go into a store. I always said... Continue reading

Places Once Filled With Memories

My Brother gave me a call last Friday or Saturday and asked me if I wanted to come photograph an old house which he was going to tear down and salvage the wood and materials out of it. I, of course, said yes. Despite knowing all of the things I... Continue reading

My Son wanted to go to the Chickasaw cultural center for his 15th birthday. He also went to the Chickasaw Cultural center on his 14th Birthday. I didn't start reading and researching into the history of the tribes until my Archaeology of North America class last fall. So, I've went... Continue reading

W.D. Mayo Lock and Dam near Spiro Oklahoma

I just finished visiting the Spiro mounds, hoping to gain the inspiration I needed to continue working on my thesis. I wanted to find the river that this great Mississippian empire was built on. I knew the mounds were near the river, just directly behind the archaeological site. The rivers... Continue reading

So, let's talk about religion. No, maybe not. I'm not going to give you a Sunday sermon. I'm not going to preach to the choir. I'm not going to preach. I'm not religious. I'm not religious nor do I really consider myself a Christian. So there's that. I'm also not... Continue reading

A Foolish Hope for Peace

I don't know what I want to say. I would like to say I wish more people would find being outside and in the quiet of nature. I wish more people could discover running. Running isn't about getting fit. Running is about emotions. You can run your pain away. I... Continue reading
