Four photos featured in Capture El Paso 2009

Friday, December 11th, 2009

The El Paso Times has just released the 2009 version of their popular Capture El Paso book. Popular in that it captures the flavor of El Paso from so many aspects and view points. And popular in the broader sense that its hundreds of photos – 144 pages total – are selected by popular vote online from over 9,000 images submitted by over 500 photographers. This year’s vote total was over 725,000 online votes to select the images to represent El Paso. I was fortunate to have these four photos included, two of which appeared in my December 2008 feature article in Texas Highways Magazine on the Christmas Lights in El Paso. See pgs. 24 to 33 of the 12-08 issue.
