'tis the season

I realized it's been a couple of months since I last posted on this blog. 
Another photography project has consumed most of my spare time.  And, I haven't visited any courthouses.
For the record, I don't photograph courthouses between October and April for 2 reasons:  the sun and holiday decorations.
The sun isn't up very long during these months and when it is, it's low in the sky.  It's just not conducive to photographing courthouses.
Plus, many county courthouses are decorated for the holidays and I don't want to photograph them with decorations.  (Not that I'm against decorations!)
So, I've been working on editing my photographs and constructing new county courthouse pages.  As of today, I've completed and published 141 county pages.  Since I've already visited and photographed 174 county courthouses, I have a current backlog of 33 counties.
Over the "off" season I intend to catch up.  At least that's my goal. 
In addition, I need to revise and update a number of the earlier county courthouse pages.  
And, as time allows, I will create additional pages devoted to individual architects and the Texas courthouses they designed.  At the moment I'm working on a page for W.C. Dodson.  
In the back of mind I'm already planning some roadtrips for 2013.
Happy holidays! See you next year.

    I wasn't born in Texas but I got here as soon as I could.  I'm an architect.  And, a photographer on the side.
    I live in Houston, with my wife, Donna.  After our daughter, Hilary, passed the Texas Bar exam she took the oath as an attorney in the historic Harris County courthouse on Friday, November 15, 2013.
