University Of Texas Women’s Soccer
Thanks to Our Game Magazine I photographed four UT women’s soccer soccer games at Michael A. Myers Stadium. At the time of this post they are preparing to play in the 2011 Big 12 tournament in San Antonio. Click on the picture to see a video montage of some of the pictures
Master Pancake Theater, Austin
What better place to watch a movie than the Alamo Draft House and what better way to watch movies like Forest Gump, Titanic, Mad Max and Twilight than with comedic commentary through out the movie. Along the lines of the well known Mystery Science Theater 3000, Master Pancake Theater puts a new spin on the [...]
How to Photograph Basketball
I recently photographed the Austin Toros, a D-League team for the NBA. I felt like I got some good shots, my favorite being an “in your face dunk” by former Duke player Lance Thomas. After I posted the pictures I got a few questions about the settings I used and any tips I may have. [...]
Gift Certificates as Payment
I have done some recent photography work for for restaurants in which the form of payment I received was a gift certificate for that restaurant. At first I was unsure about it and even considered turning down the job because of it. After thinking about it I consider it an acceptable form of payment given [...]
Photography Mnemonic
Peanut Butter Is Wonderful And Very Fattening. Huh? Most people like peanut butter and most people like to take good pictures. No, I’m not suggesting that adding a jar of Jif to your camera bag will make your pictures better, but then again no one likes a hungry grumpy photographer. Many times I have raised [...]

Tilt shift photography attempts to mimic the effect of photographing a miniature scene where extreme depth of field happens due to the actual short distance of small scale scenes. Tilt shift brings that style to life size scenes by tricking your eyes into thinking the objects are miniature. Tilt shift lenses have been used for [...]
Austin TXRD
Hell on wheels. That is what comes to mind as I watch some of the toughest women in Austin strap on roller skates and fly around a banked track in a controlled chaos. This ain’t no Disney on Ice. Here you might might draw blood, will likely get an elbow to the ribs and can [...]
Shinedown
Shinedown performed at the Star of Texas Fair and Rodeo in Austin on 03-25. Even in the middle of an arena full of horse crap they were the shit. During the show Brent Smith, the lead vocalist, mentioned that they have not been here in about five years and were blown away by the people [...]
SXSW 2010 Pictures
Most people either love or hate SXSW. Like a tsunami of technology, film and music South By Southwest 2010 came and went engulfing Austin in a whirlwind of events and parties that challenged even the most experienced and tireless party goers. Between the Interactive, Film and Music thousands of people descended upon the city pumping [...]
Pure Volume Austin SWSX
Like most events during South By, South By Southwest is not cool anymore, get in line. This was my first interaction with Pure Volume in Austin. Maybe it’s my fault, but I am still unclear who they are. Future club? Promoter? I Dunno… This week they are hosting many parties at the space formerly known [...]
