Pistons & Polaroids
On August 15th, a group of us beat the heat and had a great time at Pistons on the Square in Georgetown. Since Pistons starts early (8am), we were able to enjoy ourselves and photograph happily before it got too hot. Y’all know how I feel about getting out the door early: IT WAS WORTH…
Ireland, from the bus
This time last year, I was preparing for a trip to Ireland with my only child, who moved there to go to university. It was exciting – and the trip was amazing! I hope very much that I’ll be able to go over and visit her again before she graduates. I took a load of…
Photographer Portraits
This collection of photographer portraits from a meetup with Austin Photowalkers earlier this year was on my homepage. It’s now moved here to a blog post! These are all made with my Canon 5D mark iii – the camera I use for professional work. It’s almost World Photography Day, so it felt like the right…
Sizzling on the Street
On Saturday, August 8th, I went to check out a couple of local events that sounded like they should be photographically interesting. The smart thing to do would have been to arrive at 8am (if they were up and running at 8am, which I suspect they were not), but I like to have coffee on…
Hyde Park
Neighborhoods are full of memory – especially old ones. Generations have dreamed their dreams there, loved and lost, grown up, moved on. A lot of the old Austin has been bulldozed and planked over with the same boring new architecture you see everywhere. But not Hyde Park! It had been a long time since I…
July 4th at the Ballpark
Happy 4th of July, friends, and happy 250th bday to the United States! I’ve always loved this holiday. When I was a kid we either went to my uncle’s house out in the country for a family party, or we went to Waco’s Freedom Frolic in Indian Springs Park. It was the high point of…
Black and White Workshops!
Friends, I am thrilled to report that the workshop I led at Berry Springs park on June 13 was a great success! A woman I worked with many years ago had a saying: “the right people will show up.” I think about her words often, and on that Saturday morning the right people were there!…
Graffiti Art
If you’ve been around Austin for a while, you probably know about the old graffiti wall that was a well-loved landmark off Lamar, behind Whole Earth Provisions. The parking was terrible and climbing to the upper level could be precarious, especially if you were there with a small child as I often was, but it…
Home stories
I spend a lot of time at home, and I have for a long time now. Between being a stay-at-home mom and now working on building my photography business, home is so much more than just my nest! The truth is I don’t tire of it. Sure sometimes I long for the road a bit,…
To the Dogs
Our Memorial Day weekend tradition, for a bunch of years now, is to visit Fredericksburg, TX. The Jayceess put on a crawfish festival that has become our official summer kickoff event! This year was no different; we drove into the hill country on a surprisingly cool and rainy Saturday for a great day of food…
