Every time I’m through Reagan Airport in Washington D.C., I find myself photographing the way-cool roof “above”
Look up! See what is “above” the street (an office building in DC)
Posting the colors “above” the atrium at the Washington DC Hyatt Regency
From 20 floors “above” looking down on, among the other hotel lobby amenities, a piano on an island…if only they had let me showcase my unbridled talent for playing chopsticks.
I have some fun venturing off the beaten path to find way cool things to photograph. This old barn was discovered in north central Oklahoma last week. Think it has a few stories to tell?
A sunrise peaks through….
Maybe it’s the simplicity of it that got be to “snap-shoot” this curb address, I don’t really know….
One of my favorite church architecture in the area. This is the Methodist Church in downtown Fort Worth…as the sun sets. One of these days I will look up the symbolism in having one tower shorter than the other (although I should know already)
The Richland Hills United Methodist Church (classic protestant inspired architecture)
St John The Apostle Catholic Church (1970′s let’s-try-modern inspired architecture)
Richland Hills Christian Church (ranch & prairie inspired architecture – I’m guessing late 1960′s with maybe a goat – or lamb in this case – penned in the back…just kidding!)
Yet another church building on the Richland Hills UMC campus (1950′s no-frills inspired architecture)
The Life Center at the Richland Hills UMC (Texas Hill Country inspired architecture, minus the metal roof)
For the Guest Worshiper, nothing beats the front row parking you get at the Richland Hills UMC – you might actually “get to the church on time” with that perk…(“Good to see ya, come on in!” inspired architecture)
St. Andrews United Methodist Church in Plano, Texas
An interesting perspective having the briar-mangle in front of such a formal church architecture…is this symbolism perhaps?
The iconic 79-year old Fort Worth Post Office is located on the south edge of downtown. The flag is a half-staff because of the Newtown school shooting tragedy.
The way-cool lobby runs the entire length (or width) of the building.
The west foyer is wonderfully detailed in its architecture – from the floor, to the walls and columns, to the….
…ceiling
The furnishings – this a work table for postal customers – are pretty cool as well….
As is the mail drop….
….and the P.O. boxes.
Dear Mr. Postmaster, why don’t they build buildings like this anymore?
A new mornin’ meetin’ place in Lake Dallas should “open soon”….
Just the first of many stock stuffers to follow for the FGs Lincoln’s first Christmas will be “open(ed) soon”…pictures, obviously, to follow “soon” as well.
One of the doors to the St. Ignatius Academy/Sisters of St. Mary’s in downtown Fort Worth
The Madonna and Child sculpture was created by an unknown artist; a robed and crowned baby Jesus, supported by Mary, stands on a globe with his arm outstretched….
The crowns worn….
Sometimes you CAN find a bit of fall color in north Texas….
Calling it a night….
The last glimpse of sunlight…
Yard lights reflect across the cove….
The guard shack at night….
Found this old public school building in Elbring, Kansas…ever been?
Parallel lines – the highway, painted stripe, barbed wire fence, stacked hay bales, and the tree windbreak beyond….
Only in rural Kansas, where the wind always blows, would they plant a wind break along side the high school football field….
Today I spent my lunch hour on a 5-mile hike around downtown Fort Worth…this is a favorite church architecture of mine. The First United Methodist Church. I’ve always wondered the meaning of one tower being taller than the other. Anybody?
They don’t make fences like this anymore….
Found a hidden, below street level amphitheater along my wandering route….
A sun-cast sign shadow on the floor of Jake’s….
I would hate to be the guy that has to repaint this way-cool crosswalk each year….
Why don’t we build loggias and entries like this any more?
I’m dizzy….
Well, those aren’t plug nickels up there….
An old showroom floor exposed to the elements….
Awaiting arrivals….
Fishing in 34° early morning weather…egads!
Milford Lake’s boat ramp is out of service…the drought continues in Kansas
Somebody round up the local high school basketball kids…the Canadian team has flown in and looking for a pick-up game down at the Milford City Park….
Outdoor dining, Kansas style!
The Tarrant County Courthouse at dusk
A Tuesday night middle school game along my commute home route (the team in red was leading 24-0 in the 3rd quarter). BTW, it is well known that football is king in Texas but I checked…those are not luxury suite windows in the end zone.
Great clouds this evening….
Billowy…
The southeast edge of downtown Fort Worth – a great mix of architecture!
We were welcomed in New York City for the weekend by the FD. This is but one of the many wonderful church steeples in NYC….
Does every city have one of these?
Not since I earned a Boy Scout merit badge have I eaten dandelion greens as a meal. At Brooklyn’s Frankie’s Spuntino, one of the FD’s favorite restaurant in the City, the dandelions were a whole lot better than I remembered….
I wonder if the cell phone reception is better if you squat low to the ground at a busy street corner….
The Manhattan Bridge connecting Dumbo to Manhattan…I think.
Driving the Brooklyn Bridge with the FD…..
Opening night for FD at the FringeNYC Festival…’Falling’ was sensational and T did a great job. It’s been 12 years since I’ve last watched her perform…some kind of dad I am, huh?
Don’t be late….
The post-opening night party with the cast and crew….fun times! (that’s the FD in the middle on the left side)
First to catch my attention was the industrial-sized porch light on this house, then the oddly maintained shrubbery, oh but wait…what’s up with those bricks?
The mason was either an artist, a drunk, or maybe so frugal he made do with what he had on hand…but the results are cool none the less. (Wonder what made them think the flower box needed to be hung square)
A wishful backyard amenity?
A long-since abandon grocery in southeast Fort Worth….
What is it with me and goofy signs…OK, I gotta ask: “as opposed to ‘bad cold water’ at the local car wash?”

It was the simplicity of this facade, and the business name that caught my eye for this building southeast of downtown. I wonder if bricking in all the windows helps with the acoustics when tuning these instruments. (Fort Worth, Texas)
Framing the east side of downtown is this re-purposed historic rail depot (Fort Worth, Texas)
Clean lines, cast stone window sills, old windows that probably quit working a while back, and a brick-freckled facade caught my eye of this masonry supply warehouse (hope it doesn’t get to raining…OK, I really do hope it rains soon, but not for the sake of damaging this business’ inventory) (Fort Worth, Texas)
A run-down, worn-out State Comptroller’s “calibration station” – cool in its appearance despite being neglected by some, tagged by others
Church pole pavilion with a brick fireplace and picnic tables – hallelujah let’s eat!
Something must be going to happen here…they just don’t know what that is yet.

I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.
