Couple of things

March 31, 2007

Guy on Tractor

Cash and prizes to anyone who can tell me what this guy is doing.  And a quick question:  If Tiger isn’t playing in the Houston Open, does it make a sound?

Sporting Clays

Sporting Clays

I haven’t seen many, but the sporting clays course at Cordillera Ranch has got to be as beautiful as any.

Cordillera Ranch Entry

I’m ready to get back out there.  This is a shot they’re using to accompany a video they did last year.  Trish McCabe Rawls from Creative Noggin and Tracy Marlowe from KGB Texas were the directors.  Two very talented and creative people.

Tinkering

Hill Country Road

Still trying different light.  Not so sure about this one.  Morning on FM 1431.

Name That Hole

Name That Hole

So you want a hint?  This hole normally plays as the tenth hole, but for a few days a year.

Not always necessary

South Padre Island Convention Center

Even though I’m sick/crazy/rabid/obsessed with HDR, I’m still not convinced it’s the holy grail, as some people say.  Here’s an outdoor walkway heading toward the bay at the South Padre Island Convention Center.  I took this one on a whim about five years ago, when I was more of a photographic idiot than I am now, and it still catches my eye when I take a virtual stroll through the stock.

Golf Sunrise

How I wish I’d known about HDR when I was at Brent Goodger’s South Padre Island Golf Club on this morning, last December (2006).  This would’ve been the perfect time for it.

Executive Golfer Magazine

Cordillera Ranch Hole 14

Pick up a copy of the April 2007 issue of Executive Golfer.  They’ve got a nice story about Cordillera Ranch and the Hill family, complete with photos I took last year.  In my opinion, the lead image (looking back up the 14th hole, same as one above) looks too washed out in the magazine.  This is what it should look like.  Bad printing?  Bad prepress?  Who cares.

Hill Country Spring

Hill Country Spring

For me, even a dreary afternoon with approaching spring storm can’t damper the Texas Hill Country landscape.  This is looking northwest up FM 1431 near Waterford.

Nice place

Austin Texas Homes

If anyone’s interested, I’m tinkering with real estate photography.  Here’s one of a house sold by my old pal Michael Lamendola of Windsor Custom Homes.

Blue

Bluebonnet

Seems to be a good year for bluebonnets.  This one was on the side of the road between Marble Falls and Smithwick near Waterford.

Sunset

Lakeway Bar

Here’s the patio just off the lobby bar at Lakeway Resort & Spa.  Nice place to get fubar watch the sunset.

Heaven Bound

Kelly Willis

With a voice like that, I’d say that’s where she came from.  Behold the beauty of the Lakeway Launch surprise guest entertainer.

Closer

Lakeway Resort

A closer look at the wedding that took place below the Lakeway Launch party.  I’m telling you…if you’re looking to end your life get married, this is the place to do it.  I hope my wife never sees this blog, or we’ll have something to agree on.  Kidding.  Sort of.

More Lakeway Launch

Lakeway Resort

Do these people know how to set up a table or what?  Not a bad view looking west up Lake Travis.
