Spending time in the GREAT STATE!

The longer I live away from it, the more I grow fonder of that GREAT STATE of TEXAS!  I have all of this pride because everything is better in TEXAS!!!  The food, the parking, the housing, the weather, the people, the schools, the teams – everything is better in Texas!  For my Spring Break this year, I ventured back to my hometown of SA, TX and spent time with family and friends.  Here are some of the my favorite images from this trip.

Field Trip to Mount Vernon

Today, my class and I went on  a field trip to Mount Vernon.  Interestingly enough, last year when we studied the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement, I had wanted to take a trip to Mount Vernon, but that was not a reality for us.  This year, we were able to go there for free, and I have many of my same students from last year.  Anyway, here are are some of the images that I captured today, mostly with my fisheye lens.

Gimme a Little Sugar!

I had the opportunity recently to capture a beautiful Delaware family in a portrait session.  Even though I teach children, photographing them is always so unpredictable… Well, I have seen one thing that makes all children smile and laugh and light up… and that is sugar – or for the new school folks, candy!!!! See select images from this session below.
