Where I Create

The Maker…where I create.

The Maker

Every photograph begins in the field, standing in real light along the Texas Gulf Coast and beyond.

But the work does not end there

Each image is edited carefully, prepared as a fine-art print, and for my limited editions the frame itself is handcrafted in the 683 workshop.

From shoreline to workshop to your wall.

Hand stained frames..... lets go! Adds a whole new level to it all. Side note... there is not way you trucked sand bags all the way up that mountain to get a photo of Half Dome!!!!

Patrick,

Regarding the Half Dome pick, I was actually working at the Geology Hut with my brother for a week on a complete redo of the interpretative signage. Tough duty! We apparently did good as we return in 2027 to to all the interpretative signage up the road to Glacier Point…tough duty!

I love Yosemite so much. I can never get enough. Such a magical place. That gig sounds like it was amazing.

Hard to beat...but waking up 1/2 mile from the beach on the Texas Gulf Coast isn't too bad either!
