Personal Work: Stained Glass Window

Sometimes I am shocked by how nice people are for no good reason in a small town. A couple weeks ago I called up the First Baptist Church on Austin Ave. to see if they would let me take some pictures of their sanctuary. The woman I talked to on the phone said sure just come on down anytime and I thought, really? Is it that easy, you just ask and they say yes? When I was living in Orlando not too long ago I went downtown several times to take pictures and was actually chased away from a Catholic church because they thought I might vandalize something when they weren't looking. So thanks to the good people Austin Ave. First Baptist who let me wonder around inside taking pictures. Here are a few shots of their beautiful stained glass windows.

Pet Portraits: Dillon & Pancakes

I went to Abilene this week to shoot some pictures of two cute little dogs. Dillon is a miniature Pomeranian with proclivity for accidents. When he was a puppy he broke one of his front legs and as soon as his cast was set jumped off the couch and broke the other leg! He had to walk around for weeks with his two front legs wrapped in plaster. Pancakes has to be the friendliest Lhasa Apso I've met. His owner Megan tells me she sometimes feeds pancakes to Pancakes. Which makes me wonder, does that make Pancakes a cannibal? Any way here are some cute puppy pics.
