Bride: Joy

A couple months ago I had the pleasure of taking bridal portraits for my sweet friend Joy at the Hickory Street Annex in downtown Dallas. Her insanely beautiful wedding was this past weekend, which frees me up to share these photos of the elegant bride while she and her husband Eric are enjoying a honeymoon [...]

The Texas Star

Paul Banks, The Young Republic, and Lindsay Rae Spurlock

Saturday night a good friend of mine from college and his band, Paul Banks and the Carousels came to Dallas to play a show at The Cavern on lower Greenville. Lindsay Rae Spurlock opened, followed by Nashville’s The Young Republic. It was a great night with many good friends, old and new, as well as [...]

Dallas, Meet Snow

Yesterday morning Dallas woke up to something she rarely ever sees: snow. Last night Dallas went to sleep to something she’s never seen before: record-breaking snow. 9.4 inches as of 9 pm to be exact, with reports of up to 11 inches in some areas.
To celebrate having lived through such an historic event, one that [...]

Best Weekend in February 2010

Each year the Roommates and some of our friends from college get together outside of Alto, TX for a time that’s come to be known as the Best Weekend in February (after all, it is always in February). The annual escape from our day-to-day lives in the city provides an outlet for us to catch [...]

GiveFoto

A couple weeks ago I was fortunate enough to be a part of a collaboration between Park Cities Baptist Church, Cornerstone Baptist Church, and several area photographers in downtown Dallas. The purpose of the event (GiveFoto) was to allow people affiliated with Cornerstone to come and have their picture taken, developed, and handed to them [...]

Imogen Heap @ The Granada Theater

Wednesday night, the Granada came through with another wonderful show. Imogen Heap and her friends are so talented and creative. They made music with things most people would think to be childrens’ toys. They played a good show to a packed house (which I’ll blame for the inability to get closer photos). Enjoy.

The Low Anthem + Blind Pilot :: Granada Theater

This week a show came through town that my friend Scott convinced me to attend based on his rave review of one of the band’s (The Low Anthem’s) live shows. The Low Anthem was indeed able to come through on Scott’s boasts with a strong showing at the Granada this past Wednesday night.

Blind Pilot headlined [...]

Eagle Rock Loop, Arkansas

For several years now a group of staff members from my place of employment has taken a trip to the Ouachita National Forest for a backpacking excursion on Eagle Rock Loop. The year of our Lord 2009 marked the first year I signed up for the trip, and this past weekend it was executed with [...]

Walburg, TX

This past Friday evening found me in the small town of Walburg, TX for the rehearsal dinner of yet another Roommate. Traffic on the way down was favorable considering half the State was driving opposite us on Interstate 35 to watch Texas beat OU in Dallas. As such, I arrived in the quaint little town [...]
