ABOUT
I am a retired project manager for a major oil company. My life changed in two major ways. I took up photography, inspired by the world traveling required on my previous job. I saw and went to many locations and recognized that I mostly enjoyed the images placed before my eyes. Photography! Capture what I saw became more than a hobby. I started with a meager meager camera and when I retired, I jumped in and acquried professional equipment and training. Taking care of one's health was a priority in that travelling, so I ran and worked out all those years. When I retired, I started running competitively, but not to actually compete, but to enjoy the association with runners and engage in an activity that I really enjoyed. I decided to focus on sport photography, combining the two loves of my life. The sport became the dominant half of this marriage, so I discontinued the photography and moved to nature photography to remove the time conflict between the sport and the photography. Now I publish my photographs on Facebook, primarily on my sites named "Texas Images" and "Save The Woodlands Eagles".
Texas Images reflects another passion that eventually became important to my current lifestyle and image production. I now visit many towns throughout Texas. I present images with a historical twist to a fairly large audience that grows daily. Texas is big and this is a big challenge to me. It is here that I show images that may be useful to people who love this state as I do. Nature photography is my predominate passion, but I see so many interesting people and sights in my journeys in this magnificent state. I have been observing the gradual decline of the quality of the scenery as I grow older. Concrete continues to displace creature habitat at an alarming rate. This is where the site "Save The Woodlands Eagles" has come into play. A magnificent forest has been displaced with streets and houses for over 100,000 people. The deer, Bald Eagles, and generally all the wildlife is being removed. After almost becoming extinct in our state because of DDT, the Eagles face another major hurdle in their survival.: Adapting to our insistence that all land beyond state and national land conservation efforts is to be roads and houses for humans.
