Never Forget - Thank You! Memorial Day 2015 - Chris
Retired Police Detective, Photographer. For far to long I only witnessed the dark and ugly side of life, communities, and society. It is so refreshing to walk out my the front door and view our amazing, beautiful, crazy, and funny world. My goal is to capture and preserve it. To help generations to come smile, laugh, and simply make their day! - Chris

In God We Trust
In God We Trust - Stand tall and be proud of who we are. We need to put this simple phrase in our hearts and minds, to be an example for others. Our government, states, and schools should not bury it like and old negative, but should push forward, giving glory to him who made us great in the first place. - Chris
Road Trip
Road Trip - Nothing better then jumping in your and taking off to nowhere. No plans, just you and where ever the road takes you. - Chris

Busy Bee
Busy Bee - This is when I love being a photographer. You see a beautiful shot with the naked eye. When you go to capture it through the lens, you see a whole new scene of beauty. In this case a simple little bee created a whole new scene shot for me. - Chris
Steve the Orange Flamingo
Steve the Orange Flamingo - I asked my 8 year old to name this shot. His reply was "let's call him Steve the Orange Flamingo". So there you go Steve it is. - Chris
Spring Beauties
Spring Beauties - I hope this small batch of spring wild flowers puts a smile on you face and encourages you to go for a walk to see more. - Chris
Checkered White Butterfly
Checked White Female Butterfly. I have found out that the only thing harder than catching a butterfly is to photograph a live one! This little girl was found on a walkway down to the river in Gruene, Texas - At Play Photography

Dolphin Nightmare
Dolphin Nightmare - The background in this shot was not changed. I did mess with the blues and greens and some blurring effects. As I worked with the colors the sections between the glass turned into bars with the greens and blues of the ocean only to dream about. This shot was taken at a Dolphin show at the San Antonio, Texas, Seaworld. I am sure the animals are very well cared for but it is ironic how this photo turned. - At Play Photography

The Emily Morgan Hotel
The Emily Morgan Hotel, San Antonio, Texas. Built in 1924 as a medical building. With its Gothic architectural style it has Gargoyles around the top of the building, each with a different medical aliment. It was later turned into a hotel and named after a brave Texas hero, Emily Morgan. Once part of the Alamo Plaza, today it stands next to the Alamo and is still today a historical National Monument. - At Play Photography

Lucy the Lion
Meet Lucy the Lion. She was found in a shop on Alamo St. in downtown San Antonio, Texas. My 8 year old son discovered her with a sign around her neck which read, "Please don't feed the Bear"? He quickly asked "why would they put that sign on a lion"? This moment with Lucy was preserved into a memory so he could always remember what a Bear does not look like :)
