more photo friends

The Katie

I have a few more photographs to share of the time Katie and I spent at her place in Colorado. And before we get to those here's a photo series she snagged of me:

The Pack

And back in Houston, I had a great opportunity to hang out with some great photographers:

Since there aren't a lot of foothills or mountain vistas in H-town we hit the tracks.

baby shower

Today we had a shower for a friend of mine - who I've always called "A" - she's expecting her first - a boy!

Here's the lineup: Mom getting ready (How do I help? Documenting, of course!), having fun opening presents, A with her mom and grandmom, and three generations (a pair of hands and a cute belly) and yummy petits fours.

starring hut

Here are more of the Hut in his natural habitat. Boring to everyone but us, I'm sure. But he's our first!

there and here

Again, I've been back in Houston for a few weeks (after visiting Katie Jenkins) and I have some visual comparisons to make. Unfortunately, the photographs didn't upload to the blog quite right.

So we're back to the ol' slideshow method! We'll start with a stunning view from my porch, followed by wild and crazy Hut photos. Then are the amazing birds Katie spends her mornings and evenings observing. (I love the little series of the Goldfinches doing a head bob.) And we wrap up the re-post with Katie's porch view. And it beats mine. By alot.

So, no comparison, really! (Especially when there are photographs included.)

here and there

I've been back in Houston for a few weeks (after visiting Katie Jenkins) and I have some visual comparisons to make:

The view from her porch (outside Fort Collins, Colorado):

And mine (inside Houston, Texas):

There are other things to compare.

How about the wildlife that frequents her place:

... compared to our wildlife in Houston:

So, no comparison, really!

many faces of hut and other things

We are working on flash photography. Hut seems to be the logical subject of choice.

How can something so cute and furry also harbor so many expressions of boredom and disdain (for the ever improving photographers he lives with)? I'm sure we'll have more images like these to come ...

riding and taking it easy

More people (cute little girls, no less) to photograph at the ranch!

Another sunny day at the ranch. These girls took to the lake and also tried out a bit of horseback riding. These two are brave girls!

Guess who is photographing, too!!?! Grant is! And he's going to show me up in about 2.5 weeks. I'm excited to see the much more wonderful things to come from his encouragement and competition.

The girls were cautious around the horse (which is really wonderful for everyone involved) so we brushed, saddled, rode & photoed in a laid back way. You can see them warm up to the "riding a horse" concept. They go from complete skepticism to chilling out - so fun!

personal goal: Document play and stay out of the way. Help Grant get comfortable using the camera to tell a story.

photo friends!

The Katie:

I'm visiting an old friend (we go way back; she's young) in Colorado for very serious photography work.

Here's the scene in Rocky Mountain National Park - one side of the vista was stormy and the other sunny. Both beautiful.

Check out Katie Jenkins Photography - she's amazing!

The Pack:

And I had a fun meeting last week with some wicked smart Houston girls: Julie Wilhite and Margaret Lee. We talked about photographing and fit some fun hangout time in, too.

Julie has a detailed blog post here with many more of her wonderful photos.

This is me in the foreground (acting serious) and Margaret in the background, also serious. Julie is the photographer (go figure).

people at the ranch

When I can squeeze them in, I photograph people, too!

This day was beautiful - cool (for Texas in May) and sunny. The girls capitalized on some water sports and berry picking. It's hard to be a kid!

personal goal: Record major events of the day as the family relaxes; all "playing", little "posing". Photographs of small moments as they relate to the whole story.

new horse

This weekend we added a new horse to the bunch. There is a pecking order of "top dog" all the way down to the lowest on the totem pole. If you ever wonder what the order is, just watch the group at feeding time; they neatly arrange themselves in order of importance.

Anyways, adding a new horse shakes up the establishment. So before he's added to the herd, they're really interested. And after he's added to the herd they're really active. It makes for fun shooting!

So, the slender little buckskin is new. And he's cute.
