Can you tell I just Love his photographic art! Lawrence uses shadows to give depth to the story within the photo.


Keep shooting Lawrence!
and of course you know I had to add my 2 cents:

Best of Show

Lawrence is a person that looks and shoots


Stories in pictures in his cowboy boots


He captures a moment or an event


Forever in time for he's quite a gent


His talent is big as his smile is wide


He's always got a camera by his side


Off to roundups or rodeos


Always a picture wherever he goes


He's rounding up cattle or a horse or two


Working hard as cowboys do


Yet up in his saddle views catch his eye


He quick draws his camera and shoots, Oh my


A rodeo clown or a barrel racer


Careful he'll shoot, he's a photo chaser


A handsome cowboy dressed in his chaps


Shutters ready and off he snaps


With eyes of an artist and cowboy hands


His camera it follows his commands


With boots and spurs and his trusty horse


He'll capture your heart with a picture of course


Keep your dreams and hold onto them high


Cowboy, keep shooting in the blink of an eye


This is only the beginning of that I know


So Congratulations on your Best of Show


with Love and Light,


Nina P.

Your brother is an artist with a camera. I couldn't decide which shot I liked best but especially enjoyed the rodeo guys on the fence and the gal walking back with her head down. Also liked the flatland with the blue sky and white clouds. Thanks for stopping by at my place,... I'll be back here again!
