Formosa Wetlands Walkway // Sep 02, 2010 // Comments [2]

My "birthday escape" trip in April was spur of the moment, a rarity for me, and so when I arrived in Port Lavaca I really didn't have a plan.  A few blocks from my hotel was the Formosa Wetlands Walkway and Alcoa Bird Tower and it was the perfect subject for my camera as the sun set.  The walkway stretches 3,000 feet into Lavaca Bay and is completely made of recycled plastic.  The...

Night Light // Aug 31, 2010 // Comments [0]

A quick post to let you know that I am still alive and I feel bad for neglecting my beloved blog.  I really like the system of posting multiple images in one post, but it certainly is easy for me to let time slip away from me and suddenly not have photos up for a week.  In the old system of one photo a day I would never have let that happen.  I'm not sure how to remedy it, but it...

Matagorda Beach // Aug 23, 2010 // Comments [0]

Part of my birthday road trip in April was a desire to escape to a beach.  I drove down to Port LaVaca and then worked my way up the coast the next day.  I stopped at Matagorda Beach for a few hours and sat in the surf, walked along the shell strewn beach, took a birthday self portrait and just generally enjoyed one of the few things in life that completely relaxes me.  There is...

Port Lavaca // Aug 20, 2010 // Comments [2]

For my birthday in April, I took a spontaneous weekend roadtrip down to the city of Port Lavaca and then drove back up the coast the next day.  This is very unlike me mainly because a.) I don't like driving and b.) I am not spontaneous, but I really needed to get away that weekend and I'm glad I went. Port Lavaca is a town of about 12,000 and located on a bay.  I was looking for...

Wabash Antique & Feed Store // Aug 16, 2010 // Comments [0]

In March the Assignment: Houston photo group had an opportunity to photograph Wabash Antique & Feed store .  I had never visited the store so when a representative approached me about bringing the group I decided to stop by and do some scouting.  From the outside I did not think it was going to be nearly big enough to hold a group's photographic interest for long, but oh was I...

A Trio of Flowers // Aug 11, 2010 // Comments [0]

I want to be one of those people who has a whilrwind life.  I don't want to sit in my apartment all the time.  I want to go out on a weeknight and have my weekend dance card full.  I want to go, go, go. But seriously, how do those people who live like this have time to get anything done?  I've only been back at work two days and I already feel like I'm going to fall behind....

Continuing with photos from Casco Viejo.  You can read the history of the area in my first entry .  The Iglesia de San Francisco is one of the original structures from the settling of Casco Viejo.  It has been ravaged by fire twice in the 1700s.  It was restored in 1998. This building and it's amazing interior is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the arm of the government...

Paseo Esteban Huertas // Aug 02, 2010 // Comments [0]

I meant to put up more than one post last week but allergies sidelined me and followed me to a convention in San Antonio.  But I'm back and feel better and I'm looking forward to sharing photos with you this week from one of my favorite areas in Panama, Casco Viejo. We start at the Paseo Esteban Huertas.  This walkway was laid out in 1744 on a well-preserved part of the old colonial...
