FOCUS ON THE BACKROADS - A JOURNEY

There are more than 50,000 miles of Interstate highways in the United States....these highways are filled with cars and trucks traveling at an average of 75 miles an hour all in a hurry to get from one point to another. Many of these people do not notice the amazing things they pass while on their journey. Many years ago I began to travel and FOCUS ON THE BACKROADS of Texas and the surrounding states - discovering many fascinating places and people. While wandering "off the beaten path" I strive to capture the spirit of these forgotten roads through the lens of my camera. I invite you to join me on my journeys.
