Texas Monthly commissioned me awhile back to photograph writer John Graves for a feature out this month.  It was a pleasure to meet him and hear a bit of an insiders take on the literary history of Texas.  I’m also really excited about the opener design TJ Tucker created out of this shot.  As always, it’s a great pleasure working with the entire creative staff over there.  I’ll post a few outtakes and options later.

If you are familiar with Susan Wright from my offender series here is a follow up on her story.  48 Hours did a show on her appeal that you can watch here on the CBS website.  Watch for some of my Texas Monthly photos half way in and again towards the end.

I was in Galveston the last few days shooting a heart breaking story for Texas Monthly… more on that in a week or two.  Had a great time swimming in the not oil soaked parts of the gulf while getting stung by jelly fish and avoiding sting rays.  Here are a few shots from the ferry from the Bolivar peninsula to Galveston where you are encouraged to feed the gulls.
