The Story Behind Every Photograph…May, 2022
Since last summer I have driven to Texas twice and back once, scores of photo opportunities were within reach. The gnarly trees so common to the "hill country" on the outskirts of Austin where my oldest son and family moved last summer have long fascinated me.
