walkabout street and portrait photographer
Here are a few of my Nikon photos from my Washington, D.C. trip. I started with the Lincoln Memorial and worked my way down to the U.S. Capital building. I spend almost a whole day at Arlington National Cemetery, which opens at 8 a.m.
My Holga film is currently being developed. I should have those back and scanned next week. I hope you enjoy these shots. Cheers.

And so my JFK Project tour begins next week. I will start hunting down the people, places and things associated with the Kennedy assassination. I have been doing this locally for the last year, but now it is time to venture outside the Lone Star State (see Death by Holga Road Trip before Thanksgiving).

Wow! I’ve been waiting for my mother’s first Holga photos for nearly two weeks now and I finally have the negatives on my scanner. Continue reading “President John F. Kennedy Hearse at the Barrett-Jackson Auction”
I swear these things just keep finding me.
Last year I found out about Lee Harvey Oswald’s coffin being auction. Today, I read that the hearse that moved President John F. Kennedy’s body from the emergency room at Parkland Hospital to Air Force One at Dallas Love Field is now up for auction. Continue reading “John F. Kennedy’s Dallas Hearse up for Auction in Scottsdale”
I will be visiting Washington, D.C. over spring break this year. My wife and I are currently researching the area for sights, hotels and places to eat. We want to stay close to the metro system and some good restaurants. A room with a view is probably out of the question. Continue reading “Washington, D.C. Trip Planning”
Just before Thanksgiving last year I set off on a small adventure to south Texas. My goal was to photograph some of the people, places and things associated with the Kennedy assassination. Continue reading “Death by Holga Road Trip before Thanksgiving”
Here is a short list of other notable events, birth and deaths that happened in 1963. I only bring this up because the Kennedy assassination can’t be the only thing that defined this tragic year. Continue reading “1963: Notable Events, Births and Deaths”
Mission accomplished. I have photos of Det. James Leavelle at the Dallas Municipal Building (a.k.a. the old Dallas Police Headquarters). The Holga shots are yet to be developed. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well this those pictures too.
More on this photo shoot coming soon. Cheers.
I spent an hour or more getting ready for my photo shoot at the Dallas Municipal Building, formerly the Dallas Police Headquarters. The shoot will be in the basement where Lee Harvey Oswald was shot and the fifth floor where Oswald was jailed. I will have former Dallas Police Det. James Leavelle on hand as a model for the shoot.
Det. Leavelle has graciously agreed to pose for some photos. We are planning on taking great care of Det. Leavelle, who is 90 years-old.
For those who don’t know, Det. Leavelle was handcuffed to Oswald when he was shot by Jack Ruby in the basement of the Dallas Police Headquarters. He is in the famous photo by Robert Jackson. Continue reading “Testing, Testing, One, Two, Three”
I was photographed yesterday by Jerry McCarthy from The Dallas Morning News for the feature article by David Flick.
I met Jerry outside the front gate of the Emanu-El Cemetery at 3430 Howell Street in Dallas. There are several small cemeteries in that same location. I had to call Jerry to see if he was lost. He was close.
The Dallas Morning News wanted to get me in action. I told them I needed to do retakes for Abraham Zapruder, the amateur filmmaker who filmed Kennedy’s assassination. The News agreed this would be a good photo opportunity. They did not want me to fake a photo shoot for the article. Continue reading “Photographed by The Dallas Morning News”
