Scales & Lines

One of my favorite things to photograph is textures. Scales, feathers, fur, grass, layers, water, pretty much any thing. I've been known to stop randomly in the middle of the street/road/trail to snap a shot of how something looks right at that moment, so the Zoo can be a long experience if you come with me. Just call that fair warning. ;)

Zoo Time

The Dallas Zoo is a pretty cool zoo. They have all sorts of animals, from the common to the unusual. First, you're greeted by this on your way in-

Train Windows

One of my favorite ways to travel is by train. Any kind of train really, light-rail, subway, Amtrak and so on. I just love how the windows on trains can frame some fantastic snapshots-
