A Little History
I became interested in photography when I was in the 7th grade. I bought my first 35mm camera in 1976 and my interest grew from that day forward. I helped the annual staff at Loraine H.S. My Senior year (1980-1981), and in the early 1980's, I took a basic photography class from Merkel's own Mike Walla when he was teaching high school in Colorado City, Texas.
In 1986, I decided to try the commercial "school and sports" photography business. Since then, my wife and I have worked for numerous college social clubs photographing their parties and formal banquets as
well as sports (Little League, Pop Warner Football, Softball, Youth Basketball) in the Merkel, Hamlin, Abilene, Colorado City and Sweetwater areas. I also provide wedding services at a very affordable rate for brides in the
surrounding areas. I have photographed Jr/Sr Prom banquets for Merkel, Hamlin, Trent and Blackwell.One of the highlights of my career has been the opportunity to meet and photograph the celebrities at the Abilene Christian
School's "Community Dinner" for the last 10 years. To date, I have had the honor of meeting and photographing Mary Lou Retton (Olympic gymnast), Dean Jones (Actor), Kyle Rote Jr. (Pro. Soccer player), Bill Bates (Dallas
Cowboy), Gene Stallings (Coach - Univ. Alabama), Daryl "Moose" Johnston (Dallas Cowboy), Judge Ted Poe, Truett E. Cathey (Founder, Chick-Fil-A), Cal Thomas (Syndicated Journalist), and Darrell Scott (Parent of one of the
Columbine Co. shooting victims).
