Raindrops on railings and good guitar pickers, Big old cheeseburgers and cheap bourbon liquor... These are a few of my favorite things. #concertphotos #texasweather #blackandwhite #favoritethings

Art inspires art inspires art. Out in the Big Bend region, there's very little radio/cell reception. We managed by playing music already saved on my phone, including a set of tunes by a guy out of Fort Worth who goes by Brokestring Burnett. 1/2

I'm a telephoto guy, but you can't go wrong by getting as close to the stage as possible. Madam Radar performing at the Texas Music Cafe in Waco, TX. Shot on a Canon R6 with the cheap 16mm and the pricy 24-70 lens. #concertshots #getclose #canon #rockstars #livemusic #guitarslinger #txmusiccafe

"But there's someplace that she'd rather be..." We got artistic in the fading light at the end of a graduation session. She had covered her mortarboard cap with a Billy Joel quote, so I was humming his songs while editing. #portraitphotography #billyjoelsongs #motionblur #femininity #eastcoastkin

Someone said, "Just climb up on stage with the band." I was afraid that I might mess up, trip on a cable, unplug an amp, and ruin the show. I didn't ruin the show. #concertphotos #concertshots #livemusic #editedwithsnapseed #barrowbrewing #saladotx #wideangle #deckmansworld #eastcoastkin

Standing here with these legends @joancbaezofficial.bsky.social and Paul Simon contemplating our industry and our craft. They want to replace us with AI because AI won’t sing Deportees, or write ‘American Tune’. AI will do what the human on the input end tells it to do- Artists won’t.

An impromptu portrait session at the Bend General Store. Last time I was here, I got a shot of the chef. This time, it was the bartender's turn. I made good use of a wad of string lights on the shelf next to the bar. #portraitphoto #chiaroscuro #usewhatyougot #peopleandplaces #eastcoastkin

Dawson inadvertently gave me the hairy eyeball during a show. Someone said he needs to start rocking shades when he's onstage, so I took to making that happen. #concertshots #photoshopped #justforfun #sunglassesatnight #musicians #livemusic

I tried something different at the rodeo. I've always tried to freeze the motion and catch the sharpest shot possible, given the limitations of equipment and lighting. I've done blurry photos, and cowgirl portraits, but it never occurred to me to combine them. #photography #motionblur #actionphoto

Join the #BlueSkyArtShow Saturday June 21, 2025 The theme is #Narrow. This gap beneath a long bridge reminds me of the columns in an ancient temple in a distant desert land. Whether that makes you think of 'Ozymandias' by Shelley, or 'Kashmir' by Led Zeppelin... Well, that's up to you.
