Allison at Green Pastures

I think by viewing the photos below you will be able to tell that we had a good time photographing Allison. She was beautiful and graceful, with a brilliant laugh. We explored Green Pastures fully, shooting in almost every room, (including the tiny bar on the half floor) and outside as well. Craig Fuller of Photosynthesis did a great job on her bouquet and I loved the peacock feathered hair piece you can see in the last photo.

Pyracantha Berry Painting

Hot off the easel! I finished this one yesterday morning. I painted this one from a photograph I took over at Green Pastures. It's the largest one yet at 3ox30 inches. I'm not sure, but I think I am going to paint something besides berries next.

So it has been confirmed, Miranda Gray will be exhibiting with myself and David Leonard at the Davis Gallery in the fall. The opening reception will be Saturday, October 4th, 2008. I know it is a long way off, but I am super excited about this show. Mark your calendars and join us at the opening.

It was a crazy and sleepless SXSW this year. Both Stella and I got gigs shooting for SXSWorld magazine. We covered the interactive, film and music festivals and had a blast. Here are some of our favorite shots from the music portion of the festival.

Austin Texas sunset

Last night, we drove out to our friends Dave and Emilie's house in Dripping Springs and experienced a wonderful sunset. These are two photos taken on Hamilton's Pool Road on the way out there. The driving was a little hard but damn beautiful.
