San Juan Capistrano began its first life as Mission San Jose de los Nazonis, founded in 1716 to serve the Nazoni and Nadaco Indians near Nacagdoches in what is now considered East Texas. Three years later it was abandoned and was eventually reestablished on the banks of the San Antonio River in March of 1731. It was then renamed in honor of a recently canonized saint, John of Capistrano, an Italian theologian.

This image is actually a combination of two separate images - San Juan Capistrano and an arched gateway from another San Antonio Mission.

Thank you for visiting our site. We have been married 58 years and are long time partners in our art as well as life. Most of the beautiful floral and butterfly images are from Carol's camera while most of the rest are from David's. The making of a photographic image requires more than the click of a shutter.In the days of film photography we spent many hours in the chemical darkroom to make the negative more than just a "picture". The current digital darkroom allows far more control and artistic development for the original digital file to come to life as art.You will find in our galleries realistic presentations, simulated paintings and outright digital abstracts. We thank you very much for taking the time to look at our images.
