Looking for something special when going out to shoot is often a challenge. Most photographer will walk for hours trying to capture that “special” picture. I often try and see what can I capture on this block. It is often not easy but I do enjoy the challenge. So get out there and “enjoy the challenge” . Photography is the long distance race, put your shoes on.

Years ago, I came across a simple yet powerful piece of advice: "Take your camera everywhere you go." Since then, I’ve made it a habit—bringing it along on errands, trips, family gatherings, and even casual strolls.
Carrying a camera shifts your perspective. It awakens your creative eye, helping you notice the extraordinary in the everyday. Recently, while out walking our dog with my wife, I decided to bring my camera. That ordinary walk transformed into something much more—an exploration of light, texture, and fleeting moments.
Photography has a way of turning the routine into something remarkable. So, take your camera, keep your eyes open, and embrace the unexpected.
Stay creative, my friends. M O Z89
There’s something uniquely magical about early mornings when the world is still waking up. With no grand plan, just a camera in hand and the unpredictable promise of wet weather, I set out to capture the fleeting beauty that inspires me.
Some days, I hit it out of the park—moments of photographic perfection that make my heart sing. Other days, I return home with nothing but damp shoes and an empty memory card. Yet, even in those quieter moments, there’s joy.
This process—of chasing inspiration, embracing the unexpected, and learning to appreciate the journey—is what keeps me coming back. Whether I strike gold or not, I simply love it.

I am always trying to mix and remix media to create a different look. I am always look at how I can change things up, even if it is a small twist on a photo or taking a photo edit to the extreme, I will. The process it is not about trying to capture the perfect edit, it’s about getting out of your comfort zone.

Went on an afternoon walk and captured these pictures while the entire place was quiet.
When traveling thru small towns, it’s often the simple subjects that are most intriguing. I find that ones without people are the best ones.
Simple collection of B&W photos
Trying something different and focused on capturing some of my favorite places to eat. I don’t often use a tripod but it defiantly helped with keeping these shots clear.

I am guilty like most photographers, when I am out and about taking photos, I never look up. Spending most of my time looking left to right and what’s in front of me
Once I find myself trying to expand my field of view by visually scanning the whole scene. So get out there and make art and stay creative !

I usually try and capture “clean” shots, but this one I really liked. Going for a “clean” technical picture is great, but every now and then, a “not so clean” picture will do just fine! I went went downtown Austin,Texas for a night photowalk and captured this photo. It’s “clean” to me.

There is just something about lights outside lights and empty buildings. I was on the way to work, when this “light” caught my eye. No matter what you photography, light is a must. Remember, practice your eye work and look for the “light”.

While downtown Austin,Texas a while back ; I was on the hunt for some good street-photography . The weather was good and I was in the zone. The unique thing about this day was that, there were not many people walking downtown. I figured that, with the good weather, the downtown area would be packed!
After snapping off a couple of pictures, I saw this gentleman approaching from down the street. As I snapped his picture, I was not expecting a “peace sign” to be tossed up. It would have just been another man on a bike, but hand gesture, made this picture even better. Sometimes the unexpected pictures turn out to be the best ones of the day!

I was recently downtown Austin, trying out a new camera filter that I had brought. I had been looking at this filter for awhile and decided to try it out. This is not my normal shooting process but it did get me out of my regular photographic routine. I was surprised on how the pictures came out and look forward to creating more projects. So go try something new and even if it doesn’t work out, it's still a win !

Often time in street photography we focus on the street level photos. It is often times that you must look around to capture different view points to capture an image. I was headed to a photo walk when I captured this image. Stay Creative My Friends.
I had thought about going to a different part of the city to do some photography, but decided to stay on the Eastside. I arrived around 5:20 am, and got to work. I stayed in this part of town for around an hour, and came back home. I had taken plenty of shots, a good mixture of small and large business in this area. This one sight stood out above all the rest. It was just the way it was lit. Sometimes following the light gets you the best results.

A family friend just got a new vehicle and I was excited to see it, and went outside. The car was a dark gray color and it was raining outside all day. I thought to myself : I could get a great b&w shot out of this scene. So like a kid in a candy store, I was all over that car taking pictures. I must have spent thirty minutes out the and people were driving by, looking at this “ crazy guy”.
When the inspiration hits you be be creative, you go for it. I have found that if you “think” too much, you won’t do it. So get your camera and when you see the shot, just take it ! Stay Creative My Friends.

The clouds were lined up perfectly and I had a wide open landscape in front of me. I almost did I not capture this scene. I told myself: “I will go for a walk tomorrow.” I am glad that I did go out for that walk. I forgot the video I watched on YouTube ; but the core of the message was, just do it now! So if you feel the need to be creative, do it now !

I love taking photos, but what I love even more is taking a photo and making something more out of them. I captured the original image of this picture at The Contemporary art museum in Austin,TX; while taking my grandson an art class. I like the original picture, but being in creative environment, here’s my take on THE image.
