It is not often that I get to play photojournalist in the traditional sense. No matter how many times I see something like this I am amazed at how our modern conveniences can turn tragically against us.
This car fire started around lunch time in the parking lot of the Whataburger in League City just off FM 646 and Interstate 45. According to a witness I spoke with, a man, identified as the driver of the Dodge Durango, was eating his meal in his SUV when smoke starting pouring out of the hood. Shortly, after that 911 was called. No one was injured in the incedent according to League City police.
I was fortune enough to have my gear with me, and was going to my bank when I saw the car fire. There was an explosion of some type as I pulled into the drive way. I also got a pretty interesting shot of the battery exploding as well.

The Knot, New Year Resolutions, and Bangin' New Galleries!
Today, I was working on my website, as I have been doing a little bit every day. Just as I launch one of 12 new galleries on my website I get a wonderful email from Heather to tell me some more wonderful news. That her and her way cool husband Michael is feathered on The Knot's Website.
I knew it was coming, but I had no idea it would launch today at the same time as my gallery of their wedding. To see the feature on The Knot's website click here. They did not pick my favorites, but as with most publications they have their own reasons to pick certain images. Being that I come from a publication background I totally understand, and happy to see the photos. You can see their original blog post by clicking here.
I next order of business is New Year resolutions, this year I have vowed to blog everyday. However, you may not have noticed things happening over here, but you should see some huge changes on my website. I have been updating it everyday. I have used the time I would use to blog to update my website. So, stay tuned for more awesome weddings here.
Enjoy!
