under the sycamore tree

2009-05-23T12:58:00.002-10:00

thanks to Jim Drake, I was plucked from my boredom in snyder for a while and did some shots for a production he directed called under the sycamore tree. it was fun, reminded me a little of when I was in drama back in high school. here's some of my favorites from the shoot.

so it's been a while...

it's been a looooong time since I posted anything on here, I got caught up posted everything on my facebook photography page. but anyway, I'll try to be better at keeping this updated. here's some shots from the Ignite Student Conference a few weeks ago.

more to come!

moses

I have one of the goofiest dogs on the planet. his name is moses, and, well...he's just really funny. but overall, he made for a good shoot.

random things

not really a theme for these, just a select few of some shots taken over the past weekend.

it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

trees, lights, ornaments, cold(er) weather, that time is coming around.

lights and sounds

2008-11-23T20:44:00.003-10:00

this is what happens when i run out of things to do at around 11 pm...go outside and take pictures of lights and then go take pictures of some of my guitars. turned out pretty well i think.

Sanctus Real

more photos from the Lives Ablaze conference. Sanctus Real put on a great show and i think i got some good shots out of it.

Jam2

2008-11-21T09:02:00.002-10:00

Jam2 is a stomp group that was at the YEC Conference this past summer in Dallas who put on a great show, here's some performance shots.

i wish i lived here...

these were some shots taken about 2 months ago in Glorieta, NM at the Lives Ablaze student conference. the fog was still hangin around the tops of the mountains during the weekend, so it proved to make a pretty cool shoot. i'll more than likely post pictures from the actual conference too, mostly of Shane & Shane and Sanctus Real.

i live next to horses.

2008-11-18T09:57:00.000-10:00

out next to my dorm is the school rodeo/ag arena, and lately we've discovered that horses and cows have populated the giant dirt-circle (which me and some friends are destined to camp in the middle of someday). some of the horses got right up against the fence near my room, so i decided to take the chance of getting a few good shots while hopefully not getting my face/camera kicked in by some hind legs.

i got some shots of some cows...but they were covered in their own "fertilizer".

turns out...this part of texas can actually be pretty (at times)

after some walking around campus and driving out on the highway, i managed to get a few good shots of some trees and the sunset. levelland is totally flat (go figure) and i can't stand it, but God still has a good way of making every part of his creation with a little bit of awesome.

recording

a few shots from a recording session earlier tonight with my band Hollis OK, it's pretty sweet when you get to record music for school
