Dell isn't happy because his numbers are down. His plan is sell computers to hard core gamers and to move more into the casual game set. Problem is hard core gamers want to build their own machines and casual game developers don't want to write the latest technology so they can sell more games.

This photo is from the Austin Game Conference. It is an anual gathering of game developers, marketers, illistrators and audio tyipes. I have some other photos from the conference on flickr.

Art Opening

My art work sold at my art opening at Women and Their Work on Thursday night. We had a great time at the opening. There were many other very talented artist with work up including my freinds Eliza, Shea and Joseph, and Malou.

Flipnotics

Did an ad for Flipnotics today. I'm still getting the hang of food photography. I'm usually happy with how it turns out, but it tends to take me a long time to get it right.

Pendroy Montana

still trying to get this photo right...

Montana

I've been in Montana for most of the last two weeks having a wonderful time. I was amazed by the number of homemade signs discouraging Meth use! They were most prominant in small towns. I documented many of them, but I wish I had photographed more. This one is from the town of Whitefish.

WPJA

I've been accepted into the WPJA. Check out there site!

Faceless Warewolfs

To my suprise r at the chron didn't notice my Faceless Warewolfs photo was a knock of a Nirvana poster. :)

Lemurs

Photographed these fellows for the Austin Chronicle. They were very nice guys. Funny thing happened on teh shoot - someone stopped and asked them for thier signature. Maybe it was a setup and maybe not, but it made me smile!!! Guess I was in the company of real rock stars.

DJ Little Danny of Waxploitation

Had fun at the B Scene party at the Blanton.

Found this great thing I wrote ages ago for the chron. It is about how I came to be one of there photographers. Makes me happy to think about how such a lucky accident had such a huge effect on my life and career. Link.

Jolie and Josh

When Jolie hired me for this wedding 3 weeks ago she said it was going to be small. I forgot that small for a country wedding is 300 people. :) Roxanne and I had a BLAST at this wedding. The ceremony was in a historic church in Gonzalez Texas and the reception was at a private estate just down the street. The family and friends did all of the decorating and it looked incredible! I'm amazed by how crafty the decor was. Someday maybe I'll have my own small country wedding.

Chronicle Cover

My photograph of Sound Team was on the cover of the Chronicle this week. They were photographed in the capitol because there latest album was relased on the capitol lable.

Chamber

I joined the Austin Chamber of Commerce. Just trying to be a good citzen of my community.

Entertainment Weekly

I have a photo in the May 17 issue of Entertainment Weekly. It is of the band Voxtrot.

Nicole and Jesse

Best wedding ever! No offense to the other brides who read my blog but this wedding was amazing! They got ready at the San Jose which is an amazing place to be. The ceremony was at the little country church in New Sweden. It was great to see all of the New Yorkers loving the scenery. The reception (with free flowing ritas) was at El Soul y La Luna.

Update

Mastercard used more of my photos on Priceless.com I went to San Antonio to do this shoot.

I also did a photoshoot of my friend Nakia's band in Luck TX.

Most of the rest of my time this week has been spent working on a pull out ad section for the Austin American Statesman. The section is supposed to look like editorail work. Making photos that are ads disquised as editorail was an adventure. If you are insterested in seeing all of the photos they will be on the cover of an ad pullout in paper that comes out June 8.

Big storms in Austin!!! The tree in front of my house blew over into my drive way. Luckily my car was in the carport - however the whole tree will have to be moved before I can get my car out. Anyone want to loan me a car for a while?

Drive By Truckers

Photographed Drive By Truckers for the Chronicle. It is the first time I've photographed anything for them since SXSW.
