I took this picture on the last night I was with Wyman Meinzer for his Predator Photo Safari. (Wyman showed me how to "paint" the old jailhouse with light while holding my tripod-mounted-camera shutter open in the pitch-black-dark. Amazing.) I didn't know when I'd get back to Texas, but I left looking forward to a return trip to "The Big Empty."
Well, Wyman has allowed me to join his next photo safari so I'm going to spend the last days of my sabbatical with him and his wonderful wife Sylinda, photographing Whitetails in Texas. I'll sleep in Wyman's old Jailhouse during my last few days of sabbatical renewal, and I can't wait!
My sabbatical grant is funding my efforts to "re-connect with God," and since one of my sacred pathways is through the wilderness, my time with Wyman in the wilds of Texas ranch country will move me in the right direction.
What a wonderful way for me to end my sabbatical journey - bunking in the old jailhouse each night, and photographing Whitetails each day as Wyman "rattles 'em in."
Jeremiah 2:2 - This is what the LORD says: "I remember the devotion of your youth, how as a bride you loved me and followed me through the wilderness, through a land not sown."
Awesome.

Mark: have you ever thought of sharing the settings of your photos?
Until today I learned how you took this picture.
I read your blog for 2 reasons: your thoughts and your art.
