Yellowstone - View across the lake

What incredibly beautifully country. Photographs cannot do justice to this beautiful part of the world. A really great time in my life, with a truly wonderful woman I let slip from me. I miss you T.

summer afternoon

Taken late one afternoon near the Baptist Church my mother attends in Longview. Waited all day to get the perfect lighting. I was standing in the parking lot of the church, looking into this beautifully tranquil scene.

Taken from one of the decks of the Oasis. Simply spectacular sunsets that afternoon. The boat created a dramatic wake as if on cue.

I have always struggled with the composition of this image, but continue to be drawn to it. I can't remember if her arm was rested on a table. Her face is relaxed, her eyes off in thought. A beautiful, elegant woman; a beautiful person.

When I was a child 9 or 10, a pumpjack similar to this was a short distance from our home. Back then, being the early sixties, gasoline engines powered the pumps. The steady thump of the exhaust of the slow turning engines became as comforting as a heartbeat. To this day the smell of crude and the steady rhythm of a pumping unit recall vivid memories, and bring restful comfort.

This unit was photographed in that same area. Those were wonderful days - roaming the fields, going to work with my grandfather as he tended the wells, visiting the oil camps.
