Mobile, Alabama

I grew up in Mobile, Alabama. These are photographs I took around the area. The water views were taken on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay, where I enjoyed all of my summers during my high school and college years.

A wedding in Madison, Wisconsin

My older daughter was married this in July 2013 in Madison, Wisconsin. The bridal shower was held at the Olbrich Botanical Gardens, where I took the following cell phone pictures.

The wedding itself took place in the Assembly Chambers of the Wisconsin State Capital Building. As the father of the bride, I had limited time to wander around taking pictures. These are the cellphone pictures I was able to grab:

And of course, I have to include a picture of the newly married couple, taken at the wedding reception:

My son was a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy who graduated in May, 2014. Early in his time at the Academy, we attended a Parents’ Weekend that took place on September 21-23, 2012 at the Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. These are images taken during that weekend:

Tarrant County Courthouse – Fort Worth, Texas

The old Tarrant County Courthouse

My job as an attorney took me to many of the courthouses throughout Texas. The architecture found in those buildings is impressive. These are pictures I took with my cell phone inside the old Tarrant County Courthouse in Fort Worth, Texas.

Vacations in Playa del Carmen

During my time as an attornery I was  fortunate to work for a firm that treated its employees well. Each year for five or so years before the Covid pandemic, the firm took its employees to Playa del Carmen, Mexico for a vacation. Each of those trips was a relaxing, fun-filled adventure. Below are images taken of some of those vacations. Many are from The Reef resort, where we stayed on one of those trips.
