I shot this photo yesterday evening about 5:45 PM. It is a ski sports shop just off the Town Square. I have always thought it a bit odd McKinney has a ski shop, since the nearest skiing is about 800 miles away!

About Me
- Joseph Martin III
- McKinney, Texas, United States
- Something of a Renaissance Jack-of-All-Trades-Slightly-Off-Center Man. Am now a Real Estate Assistant for my mother (Kay Carlson) in McKinney. Born in Dallas and grew up mostly in Plano. I have a B.A. in Psychology with Philosophy from SWTSU. In addition to photography, I also draw and write. Have traveled, and have lived in San Marcos, Texas, Amsterdam, Manchester, Liverpool, Las Vegas, and Mesa, Arizona before returning to the McKinney area nearly three years ago. Our real estate website is at www.mckinneyhomesforsale.com.
I am not a professional photographer, and have taken no formal photography courses (actually when I first started college I was going to major in Painting and Drawing with a minor in Philosophy...). I did grow up with photography, as my mother's father, Wyman Parr, opened a chain of camera stores in Dallas starting in the 1950's (Parr's Camera).
By the time he died, both my father (Martin Bros. Cameras) and mother (The Camera Store, Inc.) owned one of his stores.
Times change and now the stores are all gone. But what I learned lives on in my photography......
