I have always enjoyed taking photos, but it wasn’t until I discovered high dynamic range (HDR) photos that I had the desire to really start shooting on a regular basis. For a long time, I felt like I wanted to blog about something, but didn’t have a topic I could maintain for any length of time. So a photo blog seemed like a perfect match. I’m enjoying this combination, but it does take time, work and a lot of photos to choose from. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoy taking them.

Needing a constant supply of new materials, I’ll do an occasional photo walk. You pick a location and with camera and tripod in hand, you just walk around and see what catches your eye. Last Friday evening, my family and a few friends went to Sugar Land Town Square and did just that. My friends took photos too, while the family went shopping. It’s a pretty place at Christmas, so I know I’ll return then, but Friday evening in August has a feel all it’s own. I’ll post a few more from this evening in the coming days. I’ve learned that the inspiration and photos don’t come to you. You need to go find them.

I wonder where to go next…
