Cowboy Guitarist

Steve Dykes on guitar


My wife, boy, and I enjoyed some great bar-b-que at Schoepf’s in Belton, TX, all the more so because of guitarist Steve Dykes. He played a great variety of songs, took requests, and kept the off-stage jokes flowing the entire hour we were there.

In many ways, this photo is a big relief for me. I have felt locked up (outside of town) without a subject. Finally, after carrying my camera day in and day out, I finally captured something…rather, someone. I have some sunset shots and a few nature shots, but it just not feel like a photo to me without people. Well, that is not entirely true, but I really try to keep my focus on people. Other forms of photography are certainly necessary, but show me the people!
