Learn to Be Still…
I often like looking at water. It reminds me of an Eagle’s song entitled “Learn to Be Still. It calms me when the world is all abuzz around me. Bills, new job, christmas, traffic. Water has always calmed me. Not only that, but hiking is good for you. I’m beginning to explore the hiking trails around Austin and learning to…

Austin Texas Skyline…
Austin is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever taken pictures in. The people, the music, the culture. I love everything about Austin. I just thought I’d share a couple photographs with you. The sun was bouncing off the skyline like a blow torch and lighting the water. It was beautiful to watch on this cold, sunny, winter day.…

Dragonflies…
I love dragonflies. There are so many varieties and they are so photogenic. They also eat alot of mosquitos. Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art There are 5,000 different species of Dragonfly (Odonata) with 450 different species in North America and a good website to visit regarding dragonflies would be the Digital Dragonfly Museum Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett…

The Beaten Path…
I love hiking. One of these days I think I’ll go off the beaten path to see what I can find. Maybe that’ll shake the mood I’m in. I really do hope things start to look up with the economy and all. I’m really dying to get a pilot’s license. That is one goal I have set for myself. The…

Aluminum Overcast…
I love living near our municipal airport here in Georgetown, Texas. I get to see some interesting sights. Actually, interesting aircraft. Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art I have become a fan of Aluminum Overcast. A flying piece of history in the form of a B-17G with four 1,200 hp radial engines that sounds like a thousand Harley Davidson’s…

God Bless the veterans who have seen and felt too much – and those that have bled and carry the scars of our country for the rest of their days for the sake of our freedom. God bless the wives…

River, Like Life…
I love water. Reflections. Watching it flow. Hearing it trickle, or even roar. Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art Rivers are like life. Flowing smoothly reflecting everything around it. Enjoying the sunshine and good times. Then it flows faster and the next thing you know you’ve fallen on hard times. Unemployment. Bill Collectors. And haveing to explain to little…

Naming Your Art Work…
I’ve recently encountered a sort of road block when it comes to naming or titling my photographs. I’ve seen exotic names for some quite excellent pieces but when it comes to titling my own work I find myself, well, hindered somewhat. Image Copyright © Barrett Photo Art Take this photograph for example. I stewed over what to call it for…

Mornings…
I love mornings. The smell of coffee. Getting up a little bit early to sort of slowly wind up the day (versus jumping up and racing out the door). Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art I also like the wind in my face and the sound of surf. It makes me realize that I really do need more quiet…
