headed to sunny florida

leaving for beautiful florida tomorrow to visit one of my best buddies. goin to the beach. playin with friends. takin lotsa photos. its gonna be a fantastic 4 day weekend.

i will have tons of photos when i return. here is one new on to hold ya over....


also had to post this one.. only in austin. i love it here.





also for those of you who are wondering about the progress of the new business..things are going GREAT! im really learning what i love and the path i want to take. i absolutely adore food photography and i know i want to make that a big part of where is take the business. soon my food photos will be up on a really amazing cooking website. i of course love all of my personal artistic photos and soon may have a chance to show them in a gallery. (pretty amazing) i have also discovered i want to continue photographing bands and musicians. i love combining my two loves in this life of photography and music. in the next few weeks i will be taking pictures for a local tv show here in austin that showcases local musicians. they have asked me to come and be a part of what they are doing. (to my total amazement) i couldnt be more honored or excited. i recently shot some photos of personal artwork by my friend and artist aimee chonoski. after doing that i found a love for art photography(?) if there is such a thing. taking pictures of something so personal is awesome. at the same time its a bit of a challenge keeping what the artist sees and what i see true through a photograph. below i have posted some from that session.


i took many more photos of her work so if you love this stuff as much as i do please check out her personal myspace and look under photos and youll find plenty more that will blow you away.
