I wanted to start off the new year by photographing outside of my comfort zone by composing, from backdrop selection to flower bouquet, a floral still-life channeling the color palette and spirit I find in Japanese art of old.

I photographed Amaryllis varieties from my own nursery while learning the basics of gardening.

I retreated to the comfort of my own interior escaping scorching Texas heat to photograph this lovely Sunflower and Teasel bouquet using my Fujifilm medium format camera.

I traveled to Florida earlier in the year photographing water, white sand, and everything inbetween for the first time.

Now featuring floral photography of the Lily of the Valley from my own green house!

Late winter is quite cruel in Texas sending me to the kitchen for photography practice.

There are fewer flowers to photograph during the holiday months, so I challenged myself to be creative with a standard carnation.

A mix of black and white and color photography using a 45mm prine of the greater United States Southwest on route to Palm Springs California.

I photographed these Hummingbirds enjoying a quick refreshment while staying at my mother's ranch in the lovely Texas hill country.

Who knew a single rose bush planted by my wife in my front yard garden could be so diverse of color and character.

Photographing wildflowers in my local area at midnight is a secret pastime of mine. I feel the photography portrays a ghostly ethereal vibe.

Years of dormancy had come to an end as my Lily of the Valley decided to rise to meet the Texas sun.

These Calla Lilies I purchased from the market bloomed for several weeks offering plenty opportunities for experimentation.

I selected the Alstroemeria Lily from the store as they reminded me of my luscious roses from my front yard garden but with tiger-like striping and distinct anthers.
