Texas Longhorns vs Rice 2011
Rather you like it or not, if you live in Austin September marks the beginning of Longhorn mania. Personally, I love it. I love to tailgate, I love going to the games, I love yelling on third downs and I got the chance to do all of these on week one of the season against [...]
Austin to Marfa Texas
I recently made the trip from Austin to Marfa with hopes of seeing the Marfa lights. Until my wife told me about the lights a few weeks prior I had never heard of them. Although we didn’t see any lights, the Marfa trip was a fun change of pace from our normal highly populated destinations. [...]
Tilt Shift with Alien Skin Bokeh
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.

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 [...]
Some Pictures Just Happen
Some pictures just happen, like this one. I am a huge fan of, and my wife can attest to, taking my camera EVERYWHERE. Over the past year it has become a permanent accessory of my right shoulder. We were circling the airport waiting for an out of town guest to land and decided to pull [...]
