I told you about Stephen Best and his crew at Sky Creek Ranch Golf Club in Keller. Here’s a shot of the plush spread of bentgrass, just yesterday. In July. In Texas. Remarkable.

Here’s a test from this new little toy I got today. Pretty cool, the selective focus. Since I’m shooting a wedding pretty soon, I might mount this thing on my backup. Peas sat down and read some books for me while I clicked.
If today is an indicator…

Last year while I was shooting around Cordillera Ranch, I felt like I couldn’t get the perfect shot of the 16th hole. I still haven’t. It’s an amazing par-3. Tough, beautiful, and unlike any other hole out there. I’ve only shot a few frames with something else in the picture, and this is one of [...]

And while we’re on the subject, David Pilsner over at Bay Oaks will take home the award for STPGA Golf Professional of the Year. Another fine man, and very deserving of the award. David was a big supporter of mine back in the days of Austin Golf magazine, which was around the time I shot [...]

There’s no telling how much this one cost Corey Lundberg, assistant pro at UT Golf Club, when it slid by the left edge. But the one that didn’t get away was the 2008 Southern Texas PGA Assistant Professional of the Year award. Corey will give his acceptance speech at the President’s Dinner at Royal Oaks [...]

Who knew my little ol’ blog stats could be used as a reliable economic indicator? My day trading profits are going through the roof. Not because of that chart comparison there on the right, but from using the technology these guys have come up with.

After linking to and reading (again) Guy Yocom’s interview with Jack Burke in a previous entry, I feel compelled to give it its own post. It is by far the best thing I’ve ever read about golf. For those interested in learning the game, you must read this interview. It’s a shame Mr. Burke isn’t [...]

Fellow bloggers: If you’re not going to ask permission to use a photograph from someone who spent lots of time and money creating it, then take a lesson from Catherine Jagers over at Fish and Veggies. She, for one, had the decency to link back to where she found it.

I’m a bear. Not the gay kind.

Studying the current economic landscape and how it affects me, you and other people I understand, I’ve come to realize that in business, I’m inherently bearish. I run a bare bones photography company. I undercharge, overdeliver and do things other photographers seem to turn their noses up at. In the realm of “good, fast or [...]

I wonder if the owners and members of Cordillera Ranch are aware of what a good golf pro they’ve got. Here he is modeling for me on the 3rd tee out there on a recent shoot. There used to be an ad for the PGA saying something about PGA Professionals wearing many hats. [...]

TIME magazine just put out an issue devoted to the “51 Things You Can Do To Make A Difference” regarding the political football known as global warming.
When I think about the amount of paper used and wasted in printing one week’s issue, the millions of gallons of gasoline required to distribute it, the millions of gallons of [...]
