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

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

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

I saw a special kind of courage during the No Kings protest last weekend. A few counterprotesters showed up, so people simply stood all around them with signs mocking Trump. It was wonderfully funny. #NoKings #Photojournalism #Protest #Courage

Same photo, two edits. Snapseed on the left, during the show, for a nice saturated warm tone. I went in a different direction in Lightroom, just for fun. The hazy blur came from shooting through a metal fan housing to add to the atmosphere. #concertphotos #postprocessing #shootthroughstuff
