May 14, 2020: New Portfolio: Remnants of Spanish Texas

New Portfolio: Remnants of Spanish Texas

Remnants of Spanish Texas examines the structures that were built by the Spanish in the 17th and 18th centuries within the state of Texas as the Spanish sought to spread the Catholic religion among the Native Americans of Texas, protect against French incursions, and establish a buffer against Native American raiding parties for the settlements that were situated further to the south. Though most of the structures that remain have been reconstructed within the last century, they offer a glimpse into what mission and presidio life was like before the idea of Texas as a state ever existed. Photographic prints and image licensing are available.

Exhibition at the Museum of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas

Beginning in January 2020, one of my images will be a part of a new permanent exhibition at the Museum of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, called Biodiversity of the Llano Estacado. The exhibition features an in depth look at the Llano Estacado and explores the importance of biodiversity and the seven major habitats within it which support a variety of wildlife. The image was made in 2017 on a private ranch in Armstrong County, southeast of the town of Claude, in the Texas Panhandle Plains region
