Habitat for Humanity in Round Rock,TX

7/28/2016

I was invited to participate in the opening of a new Habitat for Humanity ReStore facility in Round Rock, Texas. During my photography career I have been involved with Habitat for Humanity for more than 30 years. I remember on 9/11 2001 I was working in Washington, DC. On that day I was heading to a Habit for Humanity build in Washington a few blocks behind the U.S. Capitol. I was driving up there with 2 other photographers. We didn't have the car radio on because we were talking about the day and what we would photograph. When we arrived a crowd of volunteers surrounded my car and asked us if we knew what had happened. Not knowing anything we turned on the radio to hear about the planes crashing in New York City. Then we heard a loud explosion. It was the Pentagon! Everyone immediately left the Habitat build and the world was never the same. Photos I took that day on my Nikon D200 are now in the U.S. Archives.
I continued to support Habitat for Humanity over the years and here I am back in Texas still at it. Photo taken with a Nikon D750 transferred to my iPhone 6S Plus for editing in Camera+. Habitat was posting my photos on their Facebook page.
