Gallery Black Lagoon Black and White Exhibit

I am excited to announce that I will have four prints up at the Gallery Black Lagoon Black and White Exhibit!

The opening is January 24th and they will be up until April 3rd!

If you find yourself in Austin the next few months, I hope you can stop in and enjoy the show!

Yeah Buddy!

If you follow my photography, you must know by now that I loooovvvveeeeee texture!


















If I could eat this image.  I would.

Nom.  Nom.

Natural Landscapes

I went down to the Lady Bird Johnson Wild Flower Center a few weeks ago to shoot for KUT.  

Here are some of my favorite images:

April POD

Whelp...April has come and gone already and as expected, everything has changed once again.  Change really is the only constant.



I started interning again at KUT.  It feels great to start having some more work published.  I decided to start working on my journalism career and I am excited to be back with them.  Here is one of the stories I did for them yesterday.



Fat Cat Jonez has decided that my bed is not good enough for her anymore.  She has taken the liberty of sitting on Jill's bed and being her big blob self.



I only have two months left in this house.  It's wild to think that this space won't be a reality for me anymore.  Our house has continued to be a source of inspiration for me over the past three years and I know it will be greatly missed.  I'm trying to enjoy as much from it as possible.



My friend Alex is back in town after a two month tour with Craig Finn.  While he's not off being a rockstar, he manages at Hole In The Wall.  I spent some time out there a few nights ago after working crazy hours at the hospital.  It was nice to relax.



While I was there I met this girl with an amazing tattoo.  I had to take a photo of it.



The rest of the week was spent hanging out in my neighborhood and doing my best to relax.  I am a firm believer that one must take the time to chill.  It is important in staying steady.  This picture is from a neighbor down the street.  I'm not quite sure of the story here, but I think it's best to keep it that way.



This last one is a random painting I saw hanging on a fence.  I love it.  I love this neighborhood and I love Austin.

I have a feeling that May is going to be a fun month.  Summer is almost here!

Enjoy it.

February Pic of the Day!

So February has come and gone already! Whew...everything has been moving so fast. I say this every month, but it's true! Time moves too fast!

I've decided to reformat this project a little bit and use it and present it more as a narrative of the past week of my life.

I took this on Thursday the 23rd. I have a pile of books that are waiting to be read, but alas, they must stay next to my bed until I can get to them. When I was younger I was a huge reader, but within the past year or two, I've had trouble starting and finishing them. Is it possible to have a reader's block?

I think so.

I took this photo Friday morning before I went to work. These sandals are my old/new sandals. If you follow this blog at all, you know I have a connection with shoes. These are special ones for sure.

I got them for a trip to Europe in 2004. I never really wore them after it, but now they have returned back into my life and I love it!

I'm particularly fascinated by how my foot pattern has changed since starting yoga. These shoes definitely reflect the changes I've made in the way I hold myself.

I took this photo in the wee hours of Saturday morning. My work schedule this month had me coming back home around 11:45 at night. This pretty much sums up how I feel when I get off work.

I really didn't want to take a picture but I knew I needed to do it. I've found it's in those moments when you really don't want to do something that it is the most important to do it.

I'm glad I did.

It was beautiful here on Sunday morning. Spring definitely made an appearance. All the plants are starting to bud. I am looking forward to this next season and am really starting to get excited about Summer.

On Monday, I spent some time with my friend Jennie. This is her cat Paulie. He's got a bit of a 'tude in this moment but it's quite endearing. I especially love his expression next to the purple flowers.

After hanging out with Jennie, I went and saw my friend Joseph. This statue was hanging out in the backyard. I was immediately attracted to it.

I had to work on Tuesday and today I am traveling so this image and the next are also from Monday -- but who is counting? They're just small details right. =)

This last one is a lovely portrait of my dear friend Joseph. I love him. I think he is an amazing person with an amazing soul. You can see my homage to him here.

I asked him, "Joseph, can I take a picture of you making a wish and blowing on a dandelion."

He said, "Yes."

That is why I love him.

Unfortunately none of those pics actually turned out well, but at least a solid portrait prevailed.

Counter Ground

I took this at the Dallas Museum of Art earlier this year. It's a piece called Counter Ground by the artist Tatsuo Miyajima.

Jumping Julie

My good friend Julie Sheah and I decided to do a collaboration of sorts. She is an amazing artist and does great work. Here's one series I put together from it:

Space Art

I love watching people create art. This guy has got his technique down.
