An old photo I dug up from the first day I spent with my 5D...

Elliott Erwitt and me

I had the immense pleasure of meeting Elliott Erwitt this week.

I don't have the words to describe how it felt, but here's some pictures.

Curves

I'm finding curves in my life recently. After the course of my work hit a nadir of inactivity (for which I can only partially blame on being photo editor at the Texan), I feel like I'm accelerating back towards productivity. It's refreshing to go follow my bliss and make something out of chaos. For the first time in what feels like a long time, things are looking up up up.

Blah blah, anyways.

Questa wears a unique garment hand sewn by Anslee Connell a.k.a. Savannah Red. I found these lovely ladies during an eastside excursion at Space12. Tomorrow I'll go to her fashion show, "Retro Curves" and continue documenting her work. This ties into my economy project for Eli Reed's class... I hope. I think so.

Gizmo the Welch Corgi

Jerry Akin

Jerry Akin, a retired East Austin resident, watches an approaching thunderstorm from the porch of his rent house.

All my equipment keeps breaking. And by all, I mean one or two really important things. The Nikon-to-EOS adaptor I had on my 35 literally fell apart last night while shooting a play. Then a pin snapped off inside my card reader (thus why there's no photos of said play yet). Sigh. I wish I could say "they don't build them like they used to," but they never built these gizmos.
