Dance Photos – Vida del Baile by Dance Houston

I photographed the Vida del Baile show on Cinco de Mayo for Dance Houston at the Wortham Center. The experience was awesome – this was my first time seeing the show and it was just an excellent photography opportunity.

Olympic Swimming Photos – “Mastering Swimming”

James — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 20:16:56 +0000

Since competitive swimming is in the spotlight now in Bejing, I though this would be a good time to share some of my competitive swimming photos. I recently completed a shoot for Human Kinetics Publishing – taking all of the photos for their upcoming book titled “Mastering Swimming.” I was fortunate to have two great authors to work with: Jim Montgomery (Olympic Gold Medalist) and “Mo” Chambers. The swimmers used for the book were also fantastic – one of whom is a Slovenian olympian.

Here are a few photos from the shoot:

Look for the book to be out in late 2008.

Sarah and I went down to the bird sanctuaries at High Island last weekend. The roseate spoonbills and great white egrets are building their nests and starting to mate. Some of the GWE’s were sitting on eggs already.

Sarah took this photo of 3 roseate spoonbills using my camera and lens.

This little fella was outside my front door when I returned from a run this evening. He/she was kind enough to let me pass by and get my camera for a few snaps before it flew off.

Labor Day at Lake Travis

I’ve posted some but not all of the photos from Labor Day weekend. Thanks to our hostess for an awesome weekend. Check back soon for more photos.

The really good photos of Andrea and Mark on the Sea-Doo were taken by Edgardys – way to go!

Water Aerobics Photoshoot for Human Kinetics

James — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 17:35:34 +0000

Sarah and I recently completed the photography for the book Fantastic Water Workouts by Human Kinetics Publishing. The shoot took four Sunday’s to complete, working in the large pool at the Memorial Hermann Wellness Center here in Houston. It was an interesting and difficult assignment. I was lucky to receive lots of advice from photographers in the Houston Underwater Photo Society, and the Texas Photo Forum regarding the set-up. In the end, I opted to use all submersible flashes because I could not 100% eliminate the risks of using studio strobes. This was my first time using an umbrella light modifier underwater and it worked quite well. Here’s a sample to give you an idea of the type of photos we made:

Dance Houston Flamenco en Vivo Photos Posted

Sarah and I photographed a Dance Houston show at Zilkha hall a few months ago, but I’ve only just posted the photos. There were three flamenco dancers, a guitarist and a vocalist from Flamenco en Vivo. This was our first time at a flamenco show and we really enjoyed it.

Due to hard work and perseverance by my good friend Nico my blog and gallery has been moved from its old home (failing hardware) to a new space. Thanks again Nico! Along w/ the move, there are new versions of everything. I’ve been out of town so haven’t gotten a chance to update my theme or link in older photos, but hang around as it will get there. In the meantime, check out the upgrade to Gallery 2 – just click on the photo below!

Cheers
