Christmas in Bandera County is a truly special time in a special place. Running around the county on an almost-daily basis to take photos of all the wonderful holiday events and fundraisers is an exhausting pleasure. There are so many stories, and so much good being done at this time of year in the county, and it’s my honor to be a part of it all through photos.

With that, fresh photos have now been posted to the Bulletin’s DotPhoto.com account.

The Bulletin has taken me off of sports coverage duties to concentrate on Christmas events in December, but I will make every effort to get out and shoot some basketball action for Bandera.net.

Right now I’m blogging from outside of the Bandera County Courthouse, waiting to photograph the Cowboy Christmas parade! Should be a fun show!

Community journalism is a great job to start with, and being able to practice my trade here in Bandera County only makes it that much more perfect.

If you would like to request photographic coverage of any specific event in Bandera County or reporting of a good story, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I want to tell the stories of our community through photos and the written word, and the best of those are always promoted by reader suggestions.

And if you have any thoughts or suggestions for the future of Bandera.net, please let me know! This site is built to benefit you, my wonderful readers, and anything I can do to better the experience for you is my pleasure to oblige. What do you want to see online that would benefit Bandera County?

The Bandera Bulldogs will meet La Feria in the Regional playoff game this Thursday, Nov. 20, 7:30 p.m., at the big ol’ Alamodome in San Antonio.

See you guys there!

I planned to have some fresh and toasty Lady Bulldogs basketball photos for you fine folks tonight, but I’m afraid due to a scheduling miscommunication, I ended up arriving just in time to see everyone leaving the game!

I’ll be out hitting the courts around the county next week, so we’ll see some photos go online then.

Until then, enjoy the following two albums from events in the county this week:

Bandera Honors Veterans Parade – Nov. 8, 2008
