Howdy…..many years ago I began exploring the backroads of Texas on my Honda 1300 VTR motorcycle. One item that was always in my saddlebag was a camera – most of time I rode alone – who wants to ride with a guy that stops often to capture the beauty of the Lone Star State. Finally my passion for photography won over the motorcycle which I sold. After that my camera equipment was carefully packed in the truck of my car and the journey continued, on four wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2013 I posted my first blog entry on FOCUS ON THE BACKROADS<\/strong>. Here I share images and information about where my journey has taken me – some planed destination but most were just random wandering following the winding backroads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While wandering “off the beaten path” I strive to capture the spirit of the TEXAS BACKROADS<\/strong> through the lens of my camera. I invite you to join me on my journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “To often……….I would hear of men boast of the miles they covered that day, rarely of what they had seen” <\/em> Louis L’Amour<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Howdy…..many years ago I began exploring the backroads of Texas on my Honda 1300 VTR motorcycle.
