I was the official RE/MAX of Texas photographer for the Statewide Convention 2013 in San Marcos. I coordinated two other professional photographers who contributed on the Saturday evening awards gala portion of the event.
Today, I took part in a surprise “Home for the Holidays” celebration event where the Texas Sentinels Foundation handed over the keys to a refurbished home to a wounded Afghanistan veteran.
As the event’s official photographer for the nonprofit organization, I feel honored to be able to help capture this moment in the Jesse Medina family’s life.
The Foundation alerted their family and close friends – and everyone kept the secret.
See more photos on the story, which I also wrote, on the Texas Sentinels Foundation website:
Marine Lance Corporal Jesse Medina and his family were surprised today by Bank of America and the Texas Sentinels Foundation with the keys to a debt-free, mortgage-free home in the Northcrest Village subdivision in Spring, Texas.
They thought they were going to a Texas Sentinels Foundation Christmas luncheon. They were — lunch was served — but they didn’t know friends, family and local media would be there to congratulate them on their new home.
The Marine and his wife, Megan, and son, Aidan, received the keys to their new 2,348-square foot, 3-bedroom, 2-1/2-bath home and saw it for the first time after a brief key presentation ceremony.
I was one of four official event photographers for the 35th Annual RE/MAX of Texas Statewide Convention Jan. 27-28 at Moody Gardens Resort and Conference Center.
For most of the two-day convention, I wandered the hotel taking photos of some of the best Realtors in the state as they attended breakout sessions, received awards and networked, networked and networked.
The photos shown on this page were from the Friday evening “Fun Night” at the Moody Gardens Aquarium.

It was graduation day at the University of Houston today, and I was assigned the task of shooting photos and getting them online as quickly as possible, with the help of a colleague.
We quickly put three photos up on the CLASS home page, and then we added the best shots to our Facebook page‘s photo album.
But I added even more to our not-so-frequently used Picasa web album. Here’s a Picasa Web Album slideshow of my favorite 100+ photos I took today:
My cousin’s getting married, so that means I’ve been tapped as the photographer, and my only condition was that I can use the photos on a Web site in an effort to tap into the lucrative wedding business.
In an effort to drum up interest in the “Photos from You” feature on The Woodlands chron.com page that I manage, I added a photo I took to the page’s main feature element.
The photo featured on The Woodlands Chron.com page is of my daughter enjoying the outdoor kid-friendly fountains at Market Street in The Woodlands.
