Hiking at Lost Maples

Camping in Texas – April 2010

Sarah, Henry, and I have gone camping twice this month – our last chance before it gets REALLY hot. Our first camping trip w/ Henry here in TX was to Sam Houston national forest – because it’s close. But this past weekend we made the long drive to Lost Maples and camped a couple of nights out there. We were lucky and had awesome weather. It rained like he** both nights but was beautiful during the day.

St Croix Trip

We’ve just returned from a trip to St Croix to visit our friend Cor Bosman and Julie Edwards. Sarah and I took Henry to the beach A LOT – and we also got to dive together – after over 2 years!

More to come soon (underwater photos, etc) but in the meantime, here are some topside pix:

US Air Force Museum – Dayton Ohio

I recently read Chuck Yaeger’s autobiography – in which he tells about flying the Bell X-1 through the sound barrier, and other interesting aircraft of the period. So it was a special treat to actually SEE some of these aircraft in person at Wright Patterson airfield in Dayton Ohio – home of the United States Air Force museum. I was able to make the special tour of the Experimental and Presidential aircraft hangars with Sarah’s grandpa (USAF retired) and brother.

Here’s a panorama of the inside of the Experimental hangar:

Christmas in Ohio

It’s been a fantastic Christmas in Ohio. Today it’s 24 degrees and sunny out – with a nice dusting of snow. Just what the doctor ordered for a California boy at Christmas

We posted a bunch of new photos of Henry. Halloween is almost here so prepare in advance for terminal baby cuteness…

Back from Vacation in Norway

Sarah, Henry, and I are back from a few weeks vacation in Norway. While we were there we spent time with friends, and went either hiking or biking almost every day. The weather was of course a great break from Houston’s 90+ muggy days…

I’ll be uploading some new photos soon, but in the meantime, here is a panorama of the Geirangerfjord in central Norway.

Bahamas Dolphins

I’ve recently returned from leading my first expedition to the Bahamas to dive/swim w/ sharks and dolphins. This was a Wetpixel.com Expedition and I was responsible for a group of 9 divers. Everyone had a fantastic time – including me and we spent some great times in the water.

I’ve uploaded a bunch of photos to our gallery so take a look. Meanwhile here are a few of my favorites.

Sarah got Henry a kiddie pool for the summer here in Houston. So far it’s a big hit – Henry will climb into it on his own.

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.
