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.

Express-News Shots of the Week 6/27

The summer continues to be as busy as always and the assignments at the SAEN continue to offer something new every day. It was nice to have a few nature shoots lately. They were really a nice departure form some of the PR events that I've been shooting. I've also met a lot of interesting people that have given me a little more insight into the city and the people that live here. I think I will let the images speak this week, enjoy.
