TV On The Radio at Stubbs

A big shout out to our friend Dave. Thanks for the all-access passes. This photos for you.
If you are not familiar with TV on the Radio's music, check out their new album here: tvontheradio.com or watch them on the Jay Leno show this Friday, November 7th.

The Dirtbombs

We had a lot of fun photographing The Dirtbombs. They are on tour with TV on the Radio and before their show at Stubbs, we got the call to do a shoot for them. It was really nice to hang out with the band and show them a little bit of Austin. If you haven't heard their music, check it out at: www.thedirtbombs.net They are one of Stella and my favorite bands. And keep an eye out for our photos on their website.

The Austin City Limits Portraits (the end)

Here are the last of the Austin City Limits Festival photos. I hope we were able to provide a slice-of-life of the festival for those of you who didn't make it down there and a familiar glimpse for those who attended.

The Austin City Limits Portraits (a second helping)

Here is the second installment from the ACL portrait series. I am really glad we took the time to do this. We met some really wonderful people including Esther (the woman below with the amazing eyes) who is a local photographer and Giselle (the woman in the b&w photo) who is a local screen printer who is making some very cool clothes for kids. You can check Giselle out at forwardcollective.org. Again, a big thanks to all our participants.

Austin City Limits portraits

Instead of going in to the big ACL festival this year, we thought it would be fun to grab the camera and head down to Zilker Park and shoot a series of portraits of this years attendees. It was a fun project that allowed us to enjoy the festival on a different level. Over the next couple of days I'll post some of our favorites. Thanks to everyone who allowed us to take their portrait.

SXSW 2008 Austin Texas

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.
