My wife and I live in Austin, Texas. Not San Francisco, or Chicago, or Miami but those are all fun cities, too.  We decided to come to Austin because we saw that housing prices and the cost of living in the Bay Area (where I used to live) were just crazy.  So we came to [...]

Thumbnail image for Stage 3 Water Restrictions In Austin

Last night, while watching the local news, I heard that even though we have gotten a bunch of rain in the last 2-weeks, Central Texas lake levels are still at an all time low, and the LCRA (LCRA means Lower Colorado River Authority) is considering tightening restrictions on water use yet again.

There are a few things I always grab when I head out the door:  My wallet and Cell Phone, a camera, some film, and my Moleskine Notebook (Regular size).  Regular blog readers know that I love my iPhone, but they also know that as much as I love modern technology, I am also a fan of [...]

I don’t even know where to start to describe this wedding. Jessica Moore with something to Celebrate came to me 8 months ago and said, “do you want to do another wedding at the Wildflower Center with me”? Of course I do. How many times do you get the chance to do a [...]

Where will Facebook be? or Flickr?
Will computers have CD-rom drives?
What happens when your hard drive crashes?
Will you be able to read the memory card in your camera?
Will you be able to find camera batteries to even power it on?
But if you have a shoebox full of prints, or even an album of pictures….

Today’s the day!  It’s my second wedding in a row at the LBJ WFC , and again the bride and I did a bridal session a couple of weeks ago.  As usual she didn’t want me to show the photos on line so her fiancée wouldn’t see her in her dress before the big day [...]

Grandma was old.
Really old.  From as long as I can remember she was old.  She was in 1906 in San Francisco, she was already in her mid 60’s when my parents had me.  Of course I don’t remember my first memory of her – stuff from that long ago is a jumble in my brain. [...]

Every one of my standard packages includes a free bridal session. It’s just how I roll. I believe that couples are paying a fortune for their wedding, the last thing a wedding photographer should do is nickel and dime them to death.  So in addition to all day coverage, free engagement sessions, and [...]

unexplained phenomenon

Fun Times
Thumbnail image for unexplained phenomenon

Why is there a UFO abducting the Google Logo?

Does this coincide with the release of the District 9 Movie?
Is google buying Twitter?
Or, Is someone just having fun because of the full moon?

My first thought for this unexplained phenomenon was that Google was selling search terms for movies.  I mean how easy would it be for [...]
