White Rock Photo Walk 2/15

On Wednesday I decided to take a walk to the spillway at White Rock Lake to both clear my head and get some shooting in while I continue to looks for a steady job. I set out to just walk to Sunset Bay and back but since I had the time it ended up being 3 hour journey to the spillway and back. Black and white seemed like a good subject to go for so I kept that theme for most of the images. I have also been wanting to test out my new neutral density filter (blocks out light during the day for long exposures) so I hopped the fence and wandered around the spillway looking for some flowing water. Overall it was a good time even if my legs don't agree. Enjoy.

New Portfolio Site!

My portfolio will now live at andrewbuckley.4ormat.com! I will continue to update this blog with my current day to day work but the best of the best will be available there. The new site is also formatted for mobile devices so it can be viewed anywhere. Take a look and enjoy!

Star-Telegram Shots 1/17

A new year, a new chapter in my career. I have started to shoot more than just sports for the Star-Telegram and am excited to continue my general assignment work in Fort Worth. I shot my usual basketball games then had the opportunity to meet a marathon runner preparing for this month's Olympic Trials in Houston. TCU had an important meeting for season ticket holders to inform them about the seating and seat selection process at their new stadium. I also covered the Girl Scouts' kickoff to their annual cookie sale where thousands of families could pick up their cookies then enjoy a day at the zoo. It's a good start and I am always looking forward to each new assignment. Enjoy.

Andrew and Hauyi Plock's Wedding

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph Andrew and Hauyi's wedding on a beautiful friday at the Southside Preservation Hall in Fort Worth. These are just a few of the hundreds of shots from their special day and I wish them the best in the future. Enjoy.
