Texas Parks and Wildlife Covers

I have been very fortunate this year to have twice made the cover of Texas Parks and Wildlife Magazine. The most recent issue in July featured my Bobwhite image. I was still using film when I took the image near Raymondville in South Texas. The slide film was Sensia 100.  The days of film  seem so long ago. I do miss several  aspects of shooting film, mostly not having to adjust/correct your images.  I also waited with eager anticipation to see how my film developed.  On the other hand, with digital, you have instant gratification and the luxury to shoot many more frames.




Below is the original image.


                                                                                                                                                                                           

In April my Texas Horned Lizard was featured. Texans are always happy to see my Horned Lizard images.  It takes them back to their childhood when they were a bit more abundant. This image was taken in Starr County in the Rio Grande Valley in 2002; It was the first Horny Toad I ever photographed.
