Remnants of breakfast, makes me think this was a typical city cafe eat and run situation.

hard to read book.

March 8th, 2010

I think this book would be hard to read since the pages are all folded up.  But it’s pretty, eh?

Weddings photographers and Vegas.

March 7th, 2010

Today I and many other wedding photographers will arrive in Las Vegas for the annual wedding photographers convention.  I guess this is where I’m supposed to say “Woot!!!”

Ok, so maybe I’m not the biggest fan of Las Vegas, but there are aspects of it that do amuse me. Take the billboard below, for instance. How can you resist such temptations?  They’ve got me with that $3 hot dog and a beer.  Now I don’t have to swing by 7-Eleven on the way to the trade show.

Minimalism and fine dining.

March 6th, 2010

Fine dining in black and white.  Minimalist so you can focus on your food.  Apparently you only need salt, no pepper.

Q Weddings Still Loves Film, yessiree!

March 5th, 2010

I’m thrilled to be the inaugural post on Richard Photo Lab’s new blog, Still Love Film.

It’s nice to have film friends and such talented ones at that!

Here’s a lovely moment from a wedding reception.  High speed black and white film is a nice departure from strobe-driven candids.

A llama’s neck.  Nice of the llama to stand still enough for me to take the photo.

I’m part of Crave Austin, a book about women-owned businesses.

March 4th, 2010

I’m pleased to say that I took part in creating Crave Austin, a book featuring women-owned businesses here in Austin.  I photographed many businesses including the ones shown here:

Underwear (a boutique selling fine undergarments)

Sabia Apothecary and Spa (a beauty spa)

Solid Gold (a clothing boutique)

Room Fu (an interior design firm)

I even had an official portrait done for the book.  I’m drinking espresso (of course!).  Photo by the talented Jen Downer of She Saw Things.
