Big Bend National Park – January 2017 – Part 1
Big Bend National Park – January 2017 Photo Workshop, Part 1 Big Bend National Park was beautiful as always and the photo workshop with Kathy Adams Clark was one of the best ever. The weather was lovely for January – cool at night and warm in the daytime. We had a small group of experienced […]
Big Bend National Park – January, 2017 – Part 2
Big Bend National Park – January 2017 Photo Workshop, Part 2 One of my favorite experiences in the park is night photography. Thanks to the work of the park staff to change out all of the incandescent lighting to LED and to install shielded lighting, Big Bend National Park is one of only 13 parks […]
Night Photography – Downtown Houston
In spite of the overcast skies, the weather was nice for a photographic adventure with Dana Crocker Barnett and Kathy Adams Clark in downtown Houston. We started by trying to photograph the almost full moon next to the Houston skyline. The moon really tried hard to cooperate, but the clouds were not playing nice at the […]
Big Bend National Park – August 2016
Yes! Another excellent adventure to my favorite place on the planet – Big Bend National Park. Although, this adventure started out with a bone-headed move on my part. Kathy Clark and I intended to leave an hour earlier than usual for our 10 to 11 hour drive, but I set my alarm an hour later […]
Before and After Images
Last time (2014) I did a “before and after” glimpse of my images, I had to host it on a different website because the plugins available through WordPress were not working with my version. I checked again recently and found one that sounds like it might work… Let’s see. A little history – Originally ZURB Studios developed […]
Night Photography – Katy – June 2016

The area is rich with photo opportunities including the art museum, a railroad museum, some grain silos (which we didn’t have time to visit, but I will go back to see), City Hall, railroad […]
Astrophotography – April 2016
Astrophotography is for night owls. I’m an early bird, not a night owl, but I signed up for a Jason Weingart astrophotography workshop held in the Terlingua/Big Bend area. Seeing the Milky Way rise up in the night sky is reward enough for staying up all night. In mid April, it didn’t rise until 2 am. […]
Bluebonnet Workshop – April 2016
Bluebonnets in Texas! As usual, the best bluebonnet fields like to move around each year, so I joined Jason Weingart’s Bluebonnet Workshop hoping that I would see some of the better ones in the Austin area. Jason had scouted the fields and in spite of some inclement weather on the first couple of days, he took us […]
