Prom Night
Tonight R. wanted Mexican food for supper. I drove to one of our favorite restaurants, placed the order, and stood at the counter drinking iced tea while I waited. At a long table only a few feet away a group of formal bedecked teens were settling up the dinner bill before heading out for the [...]

Graciousness
This morning at the arena I heard a man’s voice say, “What kind of light you getting today?”
I put down my camera and saw a cowboy holding a Canon 20D with a $1500 sports zoom. And he wanted to know what kind of light I was getting?
Moving over to where he was sitting I discovered [...]

Quiet In The Saddle
When I go to these equestrian events I can never decide which I enjoy more, watching the horses or the people. This morning didn’t lend itself well to photography since it was a competition for college kids learning how to judge western horsemanship. I’m surmising that the riders were actually instructors performing for the benefit [...]

Whittling Away
Tonight I am basking in the glow of economic measures well applied. Thanks to the stock market plunge of the last couple of weeks I’ve been contemplating the numbers, eating Tums like popcorn, and looking for monthly corners to cut. I focused on that necessary evil Alexander Graham Bell visited upon us, the telephone. Can [...]

Congratulations Travis!
Click thumb for larger image.
These are three Little Town folks who mean a lot to me, Larry, Brenda, and Travis. Larry puts up with Brenda, my buddy since — well, always — and Travis is their son, my godson, and a brand new Eagle Scout. Needless to say I’m so proud of him I could [...]

Western Gallery
Since I’m doing more and more western photography — and loving it — I added a Western Gallery to my Exposure Manager site. It includes the best shots from the barrel racing and roping events I attended this week. Enjoy!

Working My Own Leather
This morning at the roping competition I saw a woman who so closely resembled my friend and journalism school mentor P. I actually spoke to her before I realized I had the wrong person. When I came home I called P. down Dripping Springs way and we visited for fifteen minutes or so before she [...]

The Whizzing Chronicles
Last night after I blogged I got up to check the cats’ litter boxes just like I do every night. Things smelled stale in the bathroom and when I began moving stuff around I discovered that the little men have been being Guys again. Now, what do I mean by that? Let’s just say that [...]

What A Day
What. A. Day. I knew it was going to be hectic, but I didn’t know it was going to be ridiculously so. I did make it down to the barrel racing this morning and am planning to go again tomorrow. I attempted a sound seeing tour with the iPod this morning but haven’t had any [...]
