Picturesque black and white image of a short, rickety ladder propped against a tree in a pastoral field with a rock wall next to the tree.
  • By chance lightning split the sky in the (not nearly far enough) distance, while I was inspecting and photographing a felled tree during a freak Texas storm. Perhaps next time I'll wait for the storm to fully pass before venturing outside.
  • Picturesque black and white image of a short, rickety ladder propped against a tree in a pastoral field with a rock wall next to the tree.
  • Picture of yellow flowers in the foreground with a green background out of focus.
  • A bunch of ripe, yellow bananas in the produce department at the grocery store.
  • Cumulus clouds move quickly through the sky over Taylor, Texas as a storm begins to brew to the west.
  • A picture of green grass with a couple of white flowers. The lawn owner would likely consider the flowers to be weeds.
  • McKinney Falls State Park outside of Austin, Texas is know for its limestone rock. Once covered with soil, erosion has exposed the limestone bedrock creating what looks almost like a lunar surface in parts.
  • Over time, water has eroded the rocks at McKinney Falls State Park outside of Austin, Texas to form crevices and channels such as this one.
  • Raindrops nourish this beautiful Black Eyed Susan, a wildflower in the Piney Woods region of East Texas.
  • Poison ivy can be easily identified by its leaves, but you have to know what to look for. Poison ivy leaves grow in grouping of three (as evident in the photo). Also it grows as a vine, usually on fences or trees. The vines cling to surfaces with hairy roots. So next time you are working on the lawn or hiking through the woods remember these handy expressions -- leaves of three, let it be and hairy vine, no friend of mine.
  • Three pines tower over a trail at the Horseshoe Bend National Military Park in Alabama.
  • The Falling Water River runs through Burgess Falls State Park in Sparta, Tennessee. The river falls about 250 feet over the course of four waterfalls.
  • This path through a patch of East Texas woods is flanked by a variety of trees, vines, ivy, and ferns.
  • The Pride of Barbados is an exotic flower, growing in a not so exotic location - in a pot in the backyard of my home in Austin, TX. It's a beautiful plant that survives all-day direct sunlight.
  • A gentle rain soaks these berries and accumulates large drops which are set loose by the slightest breeze.
  • Kayakers love to traverse this beautiful and rocky river in the Cherokee National Forest, North Carolina.
  • A thunderstorm rolls in over this corn field in central Texas.
  • Delicate pink lotus flowers float in one of the many ponds of the Isamu Taniguchi Japanese Garden at the Zilker Botanical Garden in Austin, Texas. If you look closely you can see that a dragon fly is perched atop the petals of one of the pink flowers.
  • The swamp near Lafayette, Louisiana is home to a plethora of animal and plant life. In this photo an heron rests in the algae covered waters.
  • The garden of a home in Trecwn, Wales. The cottage was originally the home for the man who looked after the fox hounds. It was built about 400 years ago as part of a large estate.
  • Most visitors would agree that sunset in Hawaii is about as close to heaven on earth that one can visit. This particular sunset was at the famous North Shore on the island of Oahu during the summer when the waves are at their mildest.

BIO
Christina Berry
View Portfolio
Never one for portraiture or stunning vistas, I instead train my lens on traditionally less photogenic subject matter. I love to explore and photograph forgotten corners of a city. Most of my photos were taken in Austin, but you wouldn't recognize them as the usual tourist destinations. My goal -- to find beauty in the mundane and forgotten parts of our decaying and disappearing history. I want to convey a story with my images, or at least capture something in a way most might not have considered.
