Last night (May, 16 2009) I went to the Blanton Museum to see a screening of Visual Acoustics, a film about the life of Julius Shulman. I am so thrilled about this film, I simply can’t stop talking about it. The film’s subject is the most influential architectural photographer of […]

Antigua Guatemala for Semana Santa (Easter Week)
This week has been a real treat. One reason is the view from our barrio (on a clear day). Another is that, although I have been here many times, I have never visited Antigua during Semana Santa. Easter is serious business around here. The people who walk the processions often […]
Read MoreSalt Lick BBQ is the best in Texas, and therefore the best in the world
I am more than excited about photographing Salt Lick BBQ and the restaurant. Even years before moving to Austin, I would drag my family all the way from Houston to eat at the Salt Lick to celebrate my birthday or any other special occasion. Now I have the pleasure of […]
Read MoreA Walk Through SXSW 2009
What a great time at SXSW this year. I had little idea about many of the bands before hand, and today I have a little more. My opinion of the best new (to me) music was the Avett Brothers, Gil Mantera’s Party Dream, and Phosphorescent. My favorite return band is […]

Read More3D Stereoscopic Photography
TO VIEW THE 3D EFFECT, YOU MUST HAVE THE RED/BLUE (anaglyph) 3D GLASSES ON. I’ve been playing around with 3D or Sterescopic photography for a few years now. My first exposure to the method of creating stereoscopic images was through my friend Marlin Peterson. He is now in training to […]
Read MoreIron Cactus Restaurant, North Austin
So it’s the first day of a 4 day project, shooting the first of four restaurants. Before even entering the building, I photographed the front exterior. The back patio was better reserved for later when the light would be more appealing. The bar and dining areas we’re busy and posed […]
Read MoreSXSW 2008 – Photographing Live Music
SXSW is the best live music festival in Austin, or anywhere else for that matter. I think it’s such a great festival because there is so much going on at once. You can’t plan too much. Sometimes, it’s just gotta happen, and it usually does. Every year I get involved […]
Read MoreFeatured in the Pagosa Sun
1/11/08 Pagosa Sun. Thea Skinner, a friend I met on the lift at Wolf Creek Ski Area, ran a photo of mine in the Pagosa Sun. This means a lot to me, because I love this area of Colorado so much. My family and I spend much of our time […]
