Jupiter Beach, Florida

Jupiter Beach , Florida

It never fails to amaze me at what water looks like in a photograph - and Jupiter Beach has quickly become a mainstay for me. The rock formations at this beach are like 'a box of chocolates' - one never knows what will appear in the images. I have always thought this particular rock formation was some sort of prehistoric creature rising from the mist. Looking forward to another trip south this winter...

Caddo Lake

In November my buddy Al Hernandez and I decided to photograph Caddo Lake in Uncertain, Texas. Caddo is a huge mass of wetland on the border of Texas and Louisiana. We drove the 200 plus miles to lake from Dallas and chartered a boat to photograph the sunset and the following sunrise.

Sometime in the early 1900's oil was found under the lake, and, we all know what happened next - they built dams and starting drilling, doing much damage to the lake's ecosystem. Somewhere around 1930 the WPA established this lake as a State Park. The area has 200 species of trees, 100 grasses and woody vines, over 200 types of birds and large populations of fish, reptiles and mammals of which many of these species are considered endangered or rare.

Our plan is to make another trip back to the lake in the spring and then again in the fall of 2010 to  capture the lake in the various seasons.

Enjoy!!!
