the Scared is scared

Brad Pike sent me this link earlier this week:

It made my day.

November POD

Well, now that Christmas is in 2 days, I figure it's best I get around to posting my pic of the day from November.

I was fortunate to have four days off for Thanksgiving so I took a little road trip around the North Texas area.

All photos are taken with my AE-1 on Kodak Portra film.

I drove out to see Mackie out in De Leon and I had to stop and take a photo of the golden waves of grain.  

On Thanksgiving day, I ate and then went on a photo walk in the nature preserve in Plano.

The fall colors were much more subtle then in the past few years but amazing just the same.

I went and had lunch with my friend Sam in Dallas and we went on a walk through the M Streets and looked at the houses.

I also took photos of the trees and clouds while on a Texas Safari with Mackie.

I got to have lunch with this beautiful lady!  We had a great time in downtown Plano catching up on life.  

I leave you with this image.  As my best friend said, "Jill, you've been making that face since you were a little girl."

Bemused and slightly amused.  Yup.  That sounds like me.

October POD

Whelp...another month has come and gone.  Please enjoy some film I shot the last week of October.

Zola Jesus

I had a great time at ACL last weekend!

 I snagged this photo of Nika aka Zola Jesus after she jumped off stage and ran through the crowd.

September POD

September is one of those months that I look forward too.  Summer ends, school begins -- things cool down and one can begin to ease up and enjoy the weather...plus, it means my favorite month is just around the bend (and is now here!).

I've been working on getting access to a darkroom here in town, so in celebration for achieving that goal in September, I present to you some color film images from a roll I took in May of 2011.

I didn't expect how emotional I felt towards seeing this roll developed.  That's the fun in film though.  It isn't instant.  You forget what's on it.  

I'll be developing more old rolls this month.  I can't wait to see them!

August POD

Here are some pics from the last month:




















KUT sent me down to photograph the Travis County Commissioners Court to take some images of the new building. I arrived right before they began and was able to take a portrait of Judge Briscoe.

I also had the privilege of interviewing Libby Sykora down at City Hall.  Austin City Council voted to give a part of 4th Street the name of Bettie Naylor Street in honor of her late partner's life.

I did a portrait session with some friends of mine who are getting married later this year.  Jennie and Alex are arguably one of the cutest couples ever.






















I became slightly obsessed with drag queens after I stumbled upon Rupaul's Drag Race and watched the whole second season in a matter of days.  I went down to Oil Can Harry's and checked out the weekly drag show.

Labor Day weekend was fun.  I went out to the 360 bridge and took photos of the boats passing underneath it.

A friend of mine asked me to be the unit photographer on a short film he's making called "Falling Pineapples."  It was a great experience and I hope to be doing more of this work in the future.

I am currently continuing to work on KUT's stock images.  Wells Dunbar asked me for images of traffic on Mopac.  This shot was worth all the work it took to get it.

Toodles boo.
