accent on eclectic's photostream  

I'm a Texas artist in several media, who has loved the camera for decades.

I've done wedding photography, family photography, travel photography, advertising photography, catalog photography, photographs documenting the construction projects, and site survey photographs. Ages ago, I developed and taught a course in underwater photography.

Now I paint murals and other decorative art, and do faux and cabinet finishes in Houston, Kingwood, Sugar Land, Bolivar Peninsula, Dallas, and beyond. I try to help bring the clients' own visions to reality, whether in art, texture or finish. I work in a variety of media and products, including Venetian plaster, various glazes and metallic products.

My photostream is a mixture of old and new photos for photo's sake and photos recording my art, projects, etc. So folks won't have to wade through the incidental things that I'll post, I'll try to group the more interesting stuff in sets.

Some of this is prompted by regret over photos not taken over the years, passing a bridge or a movie theater and telling myself that I really should take a picture of it, before its gone, only to pass it some time later, and it is gone.

Some of it is prompted by a here-there thing: the windows, the bridges, the old movie theaters, the books...

I also have more than forty years of slides and negatives, the best of which I hope to find time to scan. They document my love of Texas, the Gulf Coast in particular, the sea in general, and more.
