Upland Bird Hunting

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!

Fly Fishing in Salt Waters roosterfish feature 2012 was a great year filled with lots of photo-ops. As I tally up the columns I’m also happy to find another decent up-tick in sales. That’s three years running so maybe I’m some sort of lagging indicator of a stronger economy. Thanks to all of you who license my [...]


Custom Photo Notecards

Custom Photo Notecards

Note: Christmas orders should be placed before December 14th to ensure delivery without expedited shipping. Choose From Thousands of Images Notecards are available from any image in my [...]


Tosh’s 2013 Wall Calendar

Tosh's 2013 Wall Calendar

So this year I decided to produce a wall calendar with a collection of favorite scenes from hither and yon: hunting, fishing, critters, destinations, and people. My plan was to have this ready to ship in October, but selecting a few images from many many thousands of images, took a bit more time than I [...]


The Opener

The Opener

This is where it starts. This day marks the abrupt shift between summer and fall. Not so much with the weather because it’ll be hot as a kiln for at least another month. But this is when the dogs get jicky and you’ve got a new license and there’s football on TV and it’s okay [...]


Private Photo Assignments

Recently I’ve been booking a few private assignment shoots for folks that want a unique and lasting record of a special gathering of friends, clients, or family. I’m offering that program again this fall and here’s how it typically works: You schedule a cool event or trip that involves hunting, fishing, or outdoor activities I [...]


Puff Daddy

Puff Daddy

From my dimly-lit perspective, there are few hunting scenes finer than a lovesick turkey strutting and gobbling within ten yards of my shotgun barrel. Down here in balmy Texas they’ll often start their spring strut in early February. And depending on range conditions, weather, and the number of serviceable hens; they may stay haired-up well [...]


Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!

Rainbow goodness: American Angler magazine Hey Folks – Another year is winding down and I’d like to thank all of the companies that license my stock images and hire me to go to cool places and frame scenes and punch buttons. 2011 has been a good year and I’m hoping that our collective climb from the [...]


Flat and Windy

Flat and Windy

Oh my golly…it’s 2011. How did that happen? As it has been for the past umpteen years, the Texas Panhandle was the scene of my last hunt and photo shoot of the year. We found manageable weather and scads of birds up in the flat country and I was able to fire quite a few [...]


The 2010 Holiday Grab Bag

The 2010 Holiday Grab Bag

Instead of showing you some cool new stuff that I shot in November (which I don’t have, because I was playing hooky in a deer blind) I’m now going to shift gears and thank the folks that have allowed me to perpetuate my twenty-five-year existence without cubicles, neckties, or shiny shoes. So, without further adieu, [...]


Oh, Give Me a Home…

Oh, Give Me a Home...

In this frenetic and oddly connected world in which we live, it’s always nice to have an opportunity to actually shake hands and spend quality time with folks that you’ve otherwise known only through email, Facebook, text messages, and the intertubes. As many of you know, for the past year I’ve been contributing photos and [...]


Point!

Point!

Folks who know me will attest that quail hunting is one of several things that I get all yippy about. Unfortunately the 2009-10 Texas bird crop wasn’t much to yip for. After two consecutive blistering summers there were scant few coveys and lots of bird dogs and hunters riding the bench. I actually went the [...]


Stepping Into Fall

Stepping Into Fall

Opening Day I had big plans in September to spend quite a bit of time in the field with doves, dogs and camera gear. In Texas, dove season typically brings a change in the weather, and this year we were needing one in a big way. After months of parched pastures, dusty roads, dry tanks, [...]


Unplugged in the Neo-Tropics

Key West This was our seventeenth year (parents, siblings, kids, et al) with the same dates, same guides, and undoubtedly some of the same tarpon. In some years we’ve hit it perfectly (late May/early June) and in other years the planets were mis-aligned. We had some goofy west winds and poor visibility that hindered a [...]
