About Me

I'm a full-time photographer who has been shooting professionally (and lucky enough to be paying the bills in this tough business) since 1996 or 1997. I love music and have shot for several music mags, record labels, and under-the-radar bands who deserve to be in those music mags and on those record labels...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

*** I want to meet new bands, but I WILL NOT add any band or person that I do not already know or have not photographed before. I don't care how many friends you already have or how great your songs are. You are just wasting your time. The only exception would be adding a new Texas band/musician, but then you still have to sound good to be added and have a full-length album available for fans, since I also use this page to help spot new local bands to review/feature in HB magazine. Send your CD's for review consideration to the main Harder Beat offices. ***Harder Beat Magazine

My Blog

Is that it?!?

I made this decision in the hope that my resignation will allow the Dallas Police Department, my fellow officers and the citizens of Dallas to better reflect on this experience, learn from the mistak...

dead or Alive?!?

So, I had the chance to photograph a member of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra last night. The portrait looks great (you'll be able to see it next week in Quick), and the girl was very nice. Everythin...

Is it acceptable?!?

So, the family went to Oklahoma this last weekend. While at the local WalMart, I saw a little store up by the front. You know, when you go into a WalMart, and they have the eye glass store, the bank...

I like Obama...

OK, it's odd that I had 91 blog views today, but no comments and no kudos. I wonder if people misunderstood my last post? I know that a LOT of my readers are pro-Obama, so maybe that has something t...

This is more scary than funny!!!

I'm having trouble telling what is fact and what is fiction on this site, so it just becomes more confusing as I read. So, a thread on a forum I visit brought a certain Obama Forum to my attention. ...
