Great Project in Austin
About three months ago or so, I was contacted by Susan from RGB Networks in Austin. She said they loved my image of the Pennybacker Bridge and wanted to have a large mural of it put on film and then pressed on glass. Wow, what a great project! Out of ALL the fantastic images taken [...]
More Austin on Metal
Spent some time ‘mining’ some of my older shots of the downtown Austin area to see if I could find a few that would fit my Austin on Metal theme. I had remember shooting the Governor’s mansion, Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, and of course, earlier shots of the capital building. But, I had [...]
Austin at Night
Last weekend, I also ventured out to shoot Austin at sunset and then on into the evening for my Austin on Metal series. I wanted to get the skyline again, but start bringing in some of that fantastic twilight blue, then all of the colors on the buildings. I had just a fantastic evening, walking [...]
Sometimes you feel like a nut – sometimes you don’t
I know, those of you who know this jingle, will not get it out of your head for the next 48 hours. Evil thing to do, isn’t it? Anyway, last Sunday, on a whim, my wife and I decided to act like tourists in downtown Austin. Nothing nutty, just walk around and look at things [...]
Austin on Metal (continued)
I got one of the first images back the other day that was actually printed on metal. It was a 20×24 sized piece that is about 1″ deep. It looks fantastic and really executed just the way I thought it would. So, of course I’ve continued to shoot material for this series and have really [...]
Working in Austin
One of the great things about being gone from an area for awhile is the fact that you come back with a fresh set of eyes and a new perspective. That’s what I’ve been doing my first few weeks back in the Central Texas area – coming up with some new ideas for ‘urban landscapes’. [...]
Baseball & Grandkids
I’ve got a son and daughter in Austin and four grandsons, so you know once you’re here, it’s time to dust off the skills when it comes to shooting sports. In fact, I think the last time I shot any sports was one of my OTHER grandsons, playing ball in Houston, several years ago. It’s [...]
Hidden Falls
I had the fantastic opportunity to head out to a 7,000 acre + ranch just west of Austin last Sunday. My trusty guide ‘Larry’ knew all the spots, since he had leased 1,000 acres with his friends to go deer hunting. The plan was to meet out there at his camp about 30 minutes before [...]
