5-21-09 Trip to Dallas

This weekend our family is packing it in and traveling to Dallas. My sister and I promised to swap every other month after we had our babies so our babies and we would know each others kids. It's been proving to be pretty difficult to leave on the weekends. So far this year, we were in Dallas in February and my sister's family came here in March, so we are little behind with our visits.

So we are going to Dallas to see my sister's family, my mom and my dad + step-mom, if they're around. 

Our plan was to go to Dallas this weekend anyway on Saturday and Sunday, the we discovered we could pull a 4 day weekend so we opted to go for Friday and Saturday and grab a piece of this Memorial Day. Then I got a call the other day from Zoom, Zoom Magazine in Canada and they have asked me to cover the "Mazda Miata" festival in Grapevine and Fort Worth on Sunday.  I'm strangely excited it's not really the kind of thing I'd be into but, we get to go on the race track, Texas Motor Speedway. We'll get to see some "fun races" since I'm told real races would be too much of a liability, bet I can't tell the difference ;)

That's the plan for the weekend. I'm sure we'll have a bazillion pictures to share after.

Family this time we have to let Zoom Zoom publish first. I just love saying it, like the commercial Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!

until next time.

5-12-09 Marie Claire

During SXSW, I shot images for Marie Claire's Beauty Roadshow. Basically the premise of the story is woman and their style, so we figured with a crowd the likes of the SXSW crowd we're likely to come across a number of fantastic and individual styles. The story has covered all ends of the earth including most recently Spain and Iceland so it was exciting to have them here in Austin, Tx, focused on our sense of style. The story should be well published by now, so here are some of my favorites from the shoot.

11-20-08 Bank of America

11-20-08 I know I've already sent this out but I wanted to send it again with a better picture. 

Just to give you a little perspective, the sign on the bottom left of this image is Madison Square Garden and Alyssa is taking the picture from the NE corner of 34th and 7th at Macy's.

See you tomorrow

6-5-08 People Magazine Spread

6-5-08

So as I promised I wanted to send out to you the pictures from the recent People Magazine shoot, sadly I had to wait an extra long time as the editors decided to run it in part on the cover of the magazine and also in the Australian edition, so I couldn't put anything up until now.

So if everyone remembers the story correctly, it was a big story here in Texas. The state authorities, based on the allegations of young woman, flooded the FLDS compound and removed over 400 children from their parents and placed them in foster care all around the state. Some parents like the Jessops, seen here, went to court claiming the state had no right as they do not practice polygamy in their family. They won their case the their children were returned two days before these shots were taken.

Thank you for waiting, enjoy them!
