Is it worth it? Umm, yeah. When Jaclyn convinced me to get creative again, I didn’t know if I could or even wanted to. Man, it’s amazing how fast I dove back into everything. I just got a new 70-200 f2.8L and I can’t believe how the images show the quality of the lens. Back in the day I had a 70-200, but it was the F4.0. It created clean bokeh, but there’s no comparison to the 2.8. It was certainly worth the extra money and I love the shots I’m able to get with it. 

I’ll be using it at TX2k25 to get incredible action shots from the stands and candid shots around the facility. 

This woman…she’s so much more than the beauty you see on the surface. What you can’t see is her spirit, her heart and her soul.

Life has a strange way of putting people in your life and I never saw her coming. Happiness is relative, but the word “happy” doesn’t begin to describe what she does for me. She loves me for me and I am who I am today because of her. She encourages me in whatever I’m doing. She inspries me to be a better man. She inspires me to be a better artist behind the lens. 

If you read about me, you read that I was a freelance photographer for a number of automotive publications. Life threw me a curveball a good while back and I lost all interest in photography. I got to where I wanted nothing to do with it. I packed everything up. I gave most of my equipment away to budding artists. I was….done. I was out. 

Fast forward about 10 or so years and I found myself missing it. She encouraged me to dive back in, but I just didn’t have the desire. It’s a direct a result of her encouragement that I’m here again.

I’m beyond blessed to have her by my side. If we work together, you’ll see her and you’ll say “bless his heart he’s out of his league!” She rolls her eyes when I say that, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Her name is Jaclyn. To say “I love her” is an obvious understatement, but it’s the best I can do. There aren’t words to convey my devotion and appreciation to her.

You can see a few more shots of her here.
