Sometimes you find yourself in absolutely the wrong place when the sunset decides to get all awesome.  It's a real drag, but hey what can you do about it?  Well, I'll tell you what I do.  I shoot like crazy.  What if it's the best sunset you've seen in ages?  You can't just pack it up and go home.  Take the shot - you never regret it!

Wishing you and yours a very happy and prosperous holiday season!

Here's a handful of holiday shots to share, taken here in Austin a couple of years ago!  I always enjoy this season and seeing all the twinkly stuff out there - it just sort of puts a smile on my face!  Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

I love living here in Austin - it's a great town for living, and a great town for photography.  These 10 photos are a small sample of the great stuff you can find to shoot here.  Have a look!

SoCo (short for South Congress) is a funky little spot in downtown Austin, and I love to go shoot there.  You never know what you might get, but I'm pretty sure you can count on it being interesting.  Hop on in and have a look!  It's 9 HDR photos from a recent sunrise shoot there.

A trio of shots from my hometown of Austin today...and a little commentary on the idea of variety.

Today's post is a couple of shots from Bull Creek, here in Austin.  It's close to home, beautiful, and fun to shoot - especially when you get great light!

Sometimes it pays to drive 5 minutes from home, instead of flying halfway around the world.  You can find great stuff to shoot close to home, too!

Today's post is about The Mean-Eyed Cat Bar here in Austin, TX.  It's a pretty awesome looking place, if I do say so myself!  And I am glad to finally get this one marked off my list of places to shoot here!

Austin is a great town, and we like our weirdness...hence the town motto, "Keep Austin Weird".  Here's a couple of proof points for ya!

South Congress Avenue in downtown Austin is quite a fun place to shoot, and arriving at sunrise means you get it all to yourself!  Of course, you can't order a cupcake then, so that's no good.  But the photo-taking...yep, that's pretty good.

Luck comes in pretty handy sometimes, especially since we can't control the weather!  I showed up here one morning just as the light got perfect - I love it when my timing is good!

Motorcycles, sunrise, and an empty downtown street...perfect HDR moment!
