Last Weekend, McLane Stadium hosted the first (annual) Brazos River Rib Fest. I was hired to photograph the event. I got amour 1400 pictures. How can you have a Rib Fest without spare ribs? Here are some of my pictures of the ribs.
Those are actually the hands of Baylor President Judge Ken Starr who was one of the contest judges.
The April Challenge Competition for the Heat of Texas Professional Photographers Guild was “Repetitive Patterns.” Our train for New Orleans was late getting into Houston. The last time we went, I noticed the platform and how the supports lined up. I am not sure how many different pictures I took of them, but it was a lot. I finally decided one of them was worth more time. This began as an HDR image. After processing, the colors were rather bright, as much of the support was painted AMTRAK blue. So, once I had the composition I wanted, I decided to convert it to Black and White. This image took first place in the competition.
I never considered the haunting status of real estate to be something I should pay attention to.
These are a few pics taken in the streets of New Orleans.
One of the icons of New Orleans is the street cars. These are two images of the street cars.
The AMCA met in New Orleans. As always, a good time was had by all. We took the train out of Houston. Next to the AMTRAK station in Houston is the Jefferson David Hospital. This is an old historic hospital dating back to the end of the Civil War. I am not sure what it is used for today, but there was activity in it and cars in the lot. I kind of liked the concept of posing the anatomical model in the window.
