Wow!  What a great response to the “New Year, New You, New Facebook Photo!”

Even Jennifer, one of my staff members here at Evin Thayer Studios, had me take her new Facebook photo.  See below a before and after on the photo retouching we did for her.  Due to Houston humidity her hair was unruly and we smoothed it out.  We also slimmed her cheek a little; everyone can use a little bit of the Evin Thayer magic.

Special Extended for a limited time only!

By popular demand I am extending the Social Media image special until February 14th.

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to catch up with Dr. “Red” Duke.  I photographed him in the surgery room at Memorial Hermann.  I even had to put on scrubs or as they call them “bunny suits”.

As we walked the hospital hallways he greeted everyone with enthusiasm and it really is apparent he is still the star of the show at Memorial Hermann.  His energy and devotion to helping other people make him a true Texas hero.  He established Houston’s Hermann Hospital Life Flight operations in 1976 and remains the medical director of its trauma and emergency services.

When I was photographing him about a decade ago he started up the conversation by saying “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, so just do the best you can.”  His real Texas character and down-home nature make him truly one of a kind.  I know everyone in the Houston area is very grateful for his incredible service to our community.

Wow, I am constantly amazed at my job!

Last week I was at Memorial Hermann Hospital to photograph Dr. Michele Johnson, a neurosurgeon.  I got to observe in the operating room her doing nerve and brain surgery.  How many people get that opportunity?  Very interesting!

Immediately after that photography session, I was back at my studio photographing ballroom dancers.  And then late that afternoon I photographed the K-9 unit of the Houston Police Department.  Now that’s a diversified day!

I am very honored to be one of the featured artists in our great city’s 175th anniversary celebration presented by FotoFest and Houston Center for Photography.  I have a great amount of devotion to Houston and it’s people and I would not be where I am today without you.

PEOPLE: Contemporary Photographers Looking at Houston

How can an art exhibit reflect the people of Houston as the city celebrates its 175th anniversary? When confronted with this question, the staff at FotoFest and Houston Center for Photography turned to contemporary artists who have created bodies of work about the people of Houston. These photographers explore the cultures, sub-cultures, interest groups, and leaders that make up the intricate and diverse fabric of Houston. This exhibition is about the 15 photographers as much as it is about the individuals portrayed in these images. The photographers have sought people out, camera in hand, because they want to document the stories of individuals and groups of people. Some find inspiration in their subjects, some capture aspects of families and communities, while others highlight Houston’s well-known and unsung leaders.

When asked, “What’s your favorite part about Houston?” the answer is most often, “The people.” PEOPLE: Contemporary Photographers Looking at Houston celebrates the people of Houston.

Last week I photographed Major League Baseball legend Nolan Ryan.  At age 64 and standing 6’2” he is a powerful presence.  But under all that tough Texas cowboy exterior beats a heart of gold and a soft spot for all creatures.

Nolan has joined forces with Friends For Life, a No Kill animal organization here in Houston that redefines “adoptable”.  They rescue, medically treat, and place animals into loving homes. They accept animals of all breeds, all ages and in all health situations. They believe No life is disposable.  They have some unique ideas they call “thinking outside the shelter”.  Next time you are at Memorial Park (2nd Saturday of every month) check out their mobile adoption van.  While you are at the park you want to run and get exercise, they have adoptable dogs onsite and ready to run!

Friends For Life will be opening a new larger shelter in the Houston Heights.  For more information on this great animal organization check out their website www.adoptfriends4life.org
