Galveston Alleys

February 04, 2012 in Day-Trips, Photos, Photowalk

I recently had the opportunity to photograph Galveston’s Industrial alleyway district with great friends. There is a historic feel to the area you just can’t shake. Especially, if you are into photographing such a subject.

Below are SOME of the shots from the day as well as a link to all of my Galveston photos.

A Weekend for Art

November 24, 2011 in Art, Events, Photos, Photowalk

Last weekend was a busy time for Art in Downtown Houston. Both Art Crawl and Via Colori were going on.

I spent time at Art Crawl 2011 on Saturday.

Friends and photographers Jeff Narron and David Paulissen had their work on display as a part of Jomar Visions in the Hardy and Nance Street Studios.

It was definitely a weekend for art. The works in Art Crawl and Via Colori were AMAZING and I totally recommend both of these events for future outings.

PhotoQuest => Brenham, McDade & Austin

October 08, 2011 in Day-Trips, Photos, Photowalk

A couple of weeks ago, I took a drive from Houston to Austin and stopped in a couple of towns along the way.

Brenham is known to be the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream. While I did not stop a Blue Bell, I took a walk through the downtown district.

McDade is another town I decided to sidetrack to. It is a small town with a neat historic feel to it.

Austin is always a very cool place to visit. So many attractions that I find something different each time I visit.

Photowalk => Bolivar Peninsula

September 22, 2011 in Day-Trips, Photos, Photowalk

A few weeks ago I drove Highway 87 from High Island to the Bolivar Ferry, spanning the length of Bolivar Peninsula. I actually did this two Saturdays in a row because there is so much to see on this stretch of road. I am sure I could take about one or two more drives and still find something new to photograph. There were several places to stop and explore, hence me calling it a photo walk.

It is really great to see the Bolivar Peninsula coming back to normalcy after being devastated by Hurricane Ike in 2008.

The rest of my Bolivar Peninsula photos can be found in my Flickr Set and Goggle+ Album.

Photowalk => Historic Rosenberg

September 21, 2011 in Day-Trips, Photos, Photowalk

A couple of weeks ago I took a walk through the historic part of Rosenberg, Texas. I love historic districts because the antique stores, brick roads and old town city halls make you feel like you are truly walking in the past.

More of my Rosenberg photos can be found in my Flickr Set and Goggle+ Album.
