Almost 3 years ago we made the move 20 miles south from Frisco to Dallas.\u00a0 We did this for a long list of reasons, but primarily for the culture.\u00a0 We wanted to be closer to the Arts and Design Districts – and Deep Ellum.\u00a0 Places where creative people congregate.\u00a0 We also like the feel of Dallas in general.\u00a0 We feel like we belong here.\u00a0 In North Dallas we are 15 minutes from almost anything we are interested in and we don’t need toll roads to get there.\u00a0 Surface streets provide excellent, swift access.<\/p>\n

For about 10 years now, I have been capturing Texas in all its glory.\u00a0 The minutiae is what fascinates me the most, as is evidenced in my first coffee table book, Texas As I See it.\u00a0 Dallas, on the other hand, does everything on a bigger-than-life scale.\u00a0 As a result, the Dallas skyline was awarded Best International Skyline status in a USA Today poll.\u00a0\u00a0 And it just keeps getting better as more and more structures add dramatic computer controlled lighting.\u00a0 The addition of the Margaret Hunt Hill bridge designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and the completion of the Omni Hotel were the defining moments in the evolution of the skyline in my opinion.<\/p>\n

On various occasions since 2010 I have captured this amazing skyline.\u00a0 In 2013 I had a commission to create a backdrop for KTXD TV in Dallas.\u00a0 The concept was a composite Dallas \/ Fort Worth Skyline, which ended up being a 15 hour editing project after capturing new images around midnight on two different nights.\u00a0 The result is a 204 inch wide sunrise skyline with the Texas Flag ghosted into it.<\/p>\n

During this process I also created individual skylines of each city and produced a highly idealized version of the Dallas skyline complete with the Supermoon from 2013.\u00a0 Since then I have re-shot the ever-evolving cityscape of Dallas on several occasions.\u00a0 Naturally, whenever there is a Supermoon, going out to re-shoot is a good idea, as there is no better backdrop for this celestial event than Dallas.<\/p>\n

This year I went out to capture the Beaver Moon over the skyline along with several hundred other amateur and professional photographers.\u00a0 The results were fairly dramatic, but the view from the levee does not provide a complete cityscape.\u00a0 Some crucial elements get left out – like the Omni Hotel.<\/p>\n

The image below has become very popular in recent months.\u00a0 This is the origin of the combination skyline and I had completely forgotten about it.\u00a0 During an art show where I was exhibiting Oz, a client requested a night sky cityscape.\u00a0 I looked through my Facebook gallery and resurrected this one.\u00a0 As a result I have printed, delivered and installed several of these recently.\u00a0 The largest one measures 86″ wide by 40″ high and is installed in an office building in Dallas.<\/p>\n
