I’ve picked up enough of these off the street during my daily evening walks to start my own hardware store. I am the Patron Saint of Tires 🛞 😇

Holding out my hand so you can see the multiple screws I picked up off the street during my evening walk through my neighborhood

Visited the fine art museum today and decided to check out the cool old church across the street.

Recently got to shoot a concert for the first time in my photography career and I'm so stoked with what I managed to get. These are a fraction of the keepers; I'm still going through the last set of photos to edit. #concertphotography #musicphotography #livemusic

Eyo check out this photo I took

A plane silhouetted against the sky, flying past the moon. The moon is half-full and appears to be right next to the plane in the photo. This photo happened by accident, and I thought it looked pretty cool.

Keeping up the momentum with another portrait session. Working with natural light again was wonderful. #photography #portraits

Got back into the studio to test some new gear and new lighting setups. Shot on the Nikon Z8 with 35mm and 85mm f/1.4 G DSLR lenses, adapted to mirrorless. Lighting is a combination of strobes and natural window light. #photography #portraitphotography

Does it count as street photography if it's inside a mall? No idea, but I like how these came out. Went here to photograph the Christmas decor and grabbed a few of these shots as a bonus. #photography #streetphotography #blackandwhitephotography

Some aquatic wildlife from one of Houston’s hidden gems, the Japanese Garden at Herman Park. #photography #naturephotos

Photo of a large koi fish swimming through a ray of light in the pond at the Japanese garden.

Some keepers from the Profoto lighting demo last weekend. This model was super cool to work with and had a great look, plus the lights they let us use were insane. #photography #portraitphotography #peoplephotography #studiophotography #art

A female model with a buzz cut and dramatic makeup looks directly into the camera. There is smoke in the background and a light coming from over her left shoulder. The image is black and white.

One of the best books I’ve picked up recently and I checked it out from the library on a whim. If you’ve read this please geek out about it with me and tell me what else I should read by this author. #booksky #horrorbooks

Shot these studio portraits last Sunday and love how they turned out. "Professional" doesn't have to mean boring. #photography #portraitphotographer #houstonphotographer

Lately the weather’s been so nice and I’ve been getting outside more, so I took these at one of my favorite parks. If you’re reading this, go touch some grass and/or hug a tree. 🌲
