Snoopy’s | Corpus Christi, TX
These pictures show the route my dog and I would take along the shoreline for morning walks. According to my dog, there is no better place to poop than on the shoreline (I always pick it up, of course). The one hazy looking picture is of a Spanish style house off of a main shoreline street. This is architecturally an interesting home, but I like this picture because it shows the heavy haze of fog seen most mornings. There is also […]

USS Lexington | Corpus Christi, TX
The Corpus Christi Bay houses a number of attractions. These pictures were taken while visiting the USS Lexington and the Texas State Aquarium. You can swim in the bay, but you’ll see far more fishers than swimmers. It goes without saying that Texas is hot in the summers, but Corpus is unbelievably hot and humid. The original photos had such a haze that the color was grayish. The colors have been adjusted a bit, perhaps too much. Anyhow, I hope […]

Sand Dunes | South Haven, MI
South Haven is a favorite vacation spot when in Michigan. These pictures were taken from the Van Buren State Beach & Dunes. I was too busy having fun to take a ton of pictures. Now I wish I had taken more! Running up and down huge sand dunes is the best exercise.

Highway 77 | Robstown, TX
If you have ever lived in south Texas, you know that there are only two seasons: really hot (summer) and muggy/rainy (winter). Usually there isn’t much to be desired about the rainy season; mud everywhere and mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds. The one thing that is nice about this time of year is watching the sky turn beautiful colors before and after a storm. I captured these photos while driving home one afternoon. Half were taken near the Richard M. […]

Port A | Port Aransas, TX
Port A, as the locals call it, is about 35 minutes away from Corpus Christi, TX. Here you will find snow birds and die hard locals. This isn’t a fancy resort spot, but it is clean and friendly. If you want beach time without crowds, this is the place to be.

Tulane Student Union | New Orleans, LA
I love taking pictures of places that look abandoned. These pictures were taken over a holiday break, thus the absence of students. It is always a pleasure to walk around feeling like you own the place!

Tulane University | New Orleans, LA
This is only a glimpse of Tulane’s campus. The grounds are quite large, and I didn’t have enough time to see everything. Even still, I had a very pleasurable stroll on a very nice day!
