Born in Dallas, Texas circa 1978

I caught my first fish on a cane pole when I was just a lil' rascal

I was fishing off a bridge with my dad and my brother

I've been hooked ever since, literally and figuratively

My Papa Harold gave me a 1978 Lincoln Versailles for my sixteenth birthday

It had leather interior, an 8 track, and expired Oklahoma plates

I've been a wanderlust stricken fool ever since

One Thanksgiving he told me that he’d shot more Bobwhite Quail than anyone else in The West

I believe him

I'm proud as hell to have the middle name Harold

I have a finance degree from Texas Tech University

Judging by my finances I’ve never used it

I enjoy taking pictures of the American West

I prefer to take lonesome images

But sometimes I can’t resist taking a happy one

I still believe in the Rule of Thirds

Sometimes magical things happen in nature

Some of my photos capture those fleeting moments

A few of those moments lasted just long enough to take one picture

Others felt like they'd never end

I remember every single one of those moments vividly

I truly hope you enjoy some of those moments

When I was twenty years old I spent the summer fishing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming

I bought a cheap camera that summer

I ain't never been the same since

Thank God
