Black Joe

Getting more work the last 2 weeks has been a good thing... These guys, Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears, are really cool and fun to hang out with.

It was pretty neat to be in a culture as diverse as ours where everybody, no matter where they are from is a fan of the same thing. in this case soccer brought all these people together to support the austin team. of course not enough ink for this photo, but i appreciate them and they made my night worth while. Juan Arias above, thanks.

sxsw 2009

The last week was intense and a lot of fun overall. These are some of the images you probably won't see the newspaper, but rather that I find appealling. I've been pretty excited about seeing what other photographers shot during the week for work and how they covered the craziness of the festival overall. It felt overwhelming with bands, people and things to be doing. Check out more SXSW coverage here: http://pa.photoshelter.com/usr-show/U0000fnvuaylzLSU

Thank You Chris Carson

Wow, what an experience this was. I never thought I would really care too much about meeting politicians and celebrities, but this is a memory I'll never forget. I'm really happy my friend was there to make this picture and send it my way. After shooting famous people its actually really really neat to meet them like this in a humble way. Thanks Chris (and Bill).

What people do on Sunday

I'm eating chocolate fudge cake at quacks, there's a neat looking dude outside and its 538pm
Sunday I walked for quite a while looking at what people do, people do a lot on Sunday
The weather has to cooperate for this to take place and this week worked out perfectly
Slackliners slacked as frisbee sprinters blaze as kite flyers flew as loungers lounged
Lighting it all up was a neat challenge as well and thanks to friends Sam, Kristen and Marcos
It took the ease off a hernia repaired photographer and make a new project about Sunday
Some people find holiness in other places besides buildings, preachers or candles
Celebrating your body the earth and having friends to share activities are noteworthy choices
Shooting photos of these experiences motivates me to do more for the sake of doing it
Just do it, as an aside the Nike Human Race book "The Day the World Stopped to Run"
Arrived this week, pretty privileged to be a part of, but I can't say I would have bought it. xo

time for dinner

Working on a saturday would presumalby suck to most
I rather enjoyed the experience and was happy to be having work in january
Shooting socialites at a gala opened my eyes to a lot like people with a ton of money
Besides some aristocrats and artsy folks docents walked with bells
Chiming a specific tune to let people know that dinner was beginning.

breakfast breakdance

Going to breakfast with friends is a pretty enjoyable experience
Especially when you get a new water heater and it comes with slick cardboard boxes
Really great for breakdancing on, but then you walk outside and overexpose it
So later you see your way and try to make it cool by adding contrast and calling it art
Coffee is delicious everything is wonderful and yarn connects us all.
