I just got back from a fabulous weekend in Austin--me--along with 25 other photogs from all over the country met there to do nothing but...photography! I was in heaven. :) I learned some new techniques, post-processing secrets, and spent the entire time talking about photography. Some of the local photogs found friends and family to be our models--NONE OF THEM ARE PROFESSIONALS, and after you see these pictures you will not believe it--cause I didn't. I have a ton of photos to get through--but here are some favorites. "Keep Austin Weird" is the city's slogan--you see it everywhere--bumper stickers, signs, doors, etc. I agree--let's keep it weird--it is a great city. Thank you to Brianna and all my new friends! We did all urban shots--finding the best alleys, dumpsters, textures, that downtown Austin had to offer--notice the fun-vibrant clothing our models are wearing and how FUN Urban sessions can be! This picture is a sample of what we did all weekend--from my eyes.

and here is my photo. These two are dating and in highschool--so sweet. Oh, young love.
