Chewie’s Watchin’ Ya

My friend is the guitarist for Aurora Plastics Company, a noise-rock band here in Austin. He doesn’t like to be photographed, so when he plays, he plays as Chewie so the band can record its performance … and so I can tag along!! I made wookie noises at him during this performance. In other news, [...]

More SXSW Photos

These will probably be the last photos that I post … I think I’ve hit on the cream of the crop. I’m not sure about that last one … think I need to tweak the levels a bit. I want more contrast between the singer and the background. Seriously, I think it’s the goal of [...]

When my friends Jen & Reid asked me to photograph their rehearsal dinner, I was stoked. First, I was flattered they liked my photos enough to ask me to do such a thing. Second, it meant I got to play with a really, really nice lens for the first time. And third, well, it was [...]
