Sometimes you wander into buildings and find amazing things - and then you have to return with the camera.  Don't you love happy accidents?

Shooting a long exposure of the Loop 360 Bridge in Austin, with the passing cars blurring out and just leaving light trails.  That's a good way to spend an evening!

I had a friend in town last week, and we headed out to shoot this hidden gem in west Austin.  It's hard to beat a beautiful waterfall, isn't it?

Today on the blog I settle the age-old debate about where to get the best sunset view in Austin.  The discussion is over, people.  I have proven why in today's post.  ;-)

Wherein I photograph a REALLY old car that is buried under years of accumulated gravel and dirt, and make up stories about how it got there.  Maybe it was a mob hit.  In Austin?  Could be, folks!

Boy was this a great sunset - and I had my daughter out shooting too, which made it doubly fun!  Click on in, see all 4 shots, and hear me yap a little about some things I've been doing (and a hint about future plans).  ;-)

Springtime in central Texas usually means rain, and rain means waterfalls.  We have both RIGHT NOW, and I am out with the camera chasing after them.  I captured these shots here in Austin just last week.  It felt to me like I was in some other state - maybe Oregon - with excellent streams and waterfalls, and nice comfortable temperatures.  So awesome!

I love shooting the skyline in any city that I visit.  It's just something I love.  Today I share a pair of skyline photos from right here in Austin.  Sometimes you can capture amazing views right in your backyard!

Today I share some shots from a recent photowalk along East 6th Street, in downtown Austin.  Most folks visiting here go to West 6th Street, but this section of it is a little more grungy, and full of graffiti and a lot of character.  Take a quick tour with me and enjoy!  It's an interesting part of town!

Today I share a few photos of the Austin skyline, taken from Lou Neff Point.  It's a great spot to view the skyline, although not nearly as popular as some other spots, which means you might even have it to yourself!

South Congress Avenue in downtown Austin is quite a fun place for photography.  While I have often shot this area at sunrise, I recently changed things up a bit and shot in the evening instead.  Here's a few pics to give you a taste of it!  I hope you like neon!

Do you have a particular spot that you just NEVER feel like you get the right opportunity to photograph, yet everyone else DOES?  I had one just like that until recently.  It has eluded me for YEARS, but finally I was able to capture a stunning sunset at The Oasis.  Read on my friends!

Barton Springs Road in Austin is a little gem, with a few interesting little spots to photograph.  Oh yeah, and right around the corner is our natural spring pool, too - another jewel in the crown, so to speak.  Check out these recent sunrise photos and enjoy!

I've been getting in a LOT of shots of Austin lately, for a couple of reasons.  Today I share some of my most recent Austin pics and hint at what I am working on!

This is Avenue B Grocery, which is a really cool old grocery store tucked away on a quiet street in Austin.  It's like walking back into the 1950's or something.  Here are 5 pics I caught at sunrise one morning last Fall.

Austin has so much to shoot, and I am back on the trail of capturing it!  I am also out getting more familiar with my new Sony A7II and share some thoughts about it in today's post.  Read on and enjoy!

I recently bought a new camera - the Sony A7II.  It's incredible, and I am having a lot of fun with it.  Here are a pair of pics from a recent test shoot in Austin.  Oh, and I tease you a little about what I did last week.  Enjoy!

I've got waterfalls for you today!  As you have probably heard on the news (even nationally), Austin has been hit with a serious amount of rain and flooding lately.  While there have been tragic events due to the flooding, the silver lining is that we are getting our lakes filled back up and our creeks have water in them - both of which are badly needed.  Today I share a collection of pics from a recent outing here in Austin, when I went out to shoot some waterfalls!

I love signs and graffiti - and sunset, 'natch! - and caught all 3 on a recent outing here in Austin.  It's great to travel and shoot in various spots around the world, but it's also great to shoot interesting things near home.  It's easier to get there, too LOL!

Austin is a great town to live in - just ask anybody.  But it's also a great town to take photos in.  I've been doing that for years, but all of these were just collecting virtual dust in my library.  So I dusted them off, polished them up, and now they are presentable.  :-)  I hope you enjoy this little visual tour of Austin as much as I enjoyed taking the shots!
