Opening The Love Me Nots official MySpace page. Ed’s photos from the show at Smokin’ Music during SXSW in Austin! Super cool band from Phoenix. Nice.

Being downtown during SXSW feels like being in a different city altogether, to me anyway. I have a theory that people coming in from all over the world actually make Austin “smell” different. Not in a bad way. Just different. 6th Street certainly takes on a new identity. I’m looking [...]

One thing I like most about working with artists like Tara Holloway is that they’re often very open and honest about where they’re coming from. I enjoy knowing what makes people tick, how life works its way into their art. Tara’s music is right there. It’s about her. You feel it.

After a fun afternoon shooting new promo pictures for Tara Holloway, we went down to Momo’s to catch Kacy Crowley’s set. Incredible, moving music. SXSW is over, and everyone’s a bit exhausted, but Kacy still brings her best to the stage. Nice.

After an early afternoon shoot with a client, Dedra and I headed out to Guero’s to see who was playing. Just missed Drew Smith’s show, but caught some great Dan Dyer music. Then some lunch inside the taco bar, and down to Momo’s for the second round of Drew Smith, and the [...]

After an afternoon boudoir shoot, I went down to the Austin Music Hall to photograph The Black And White Years. Met up with their merch guy and poster designer, Betty and talked about his incredible poster art and the band’s beginnings.
See more of my photos on the band’s official website.

I braved downtown Austin’s festival crush today to grab my photo credentials for the official SXSW shows I hope to have time to attend. The plan was to drop by The Amsterdam for a few minutes first, to enjoy Kacy Crowley’s set, then to catch a few songs by Canadian, Tara Holloway. I [...]

Drew Smith. Nathan Singleton. Both amazing, really. Also talked with Patrick Jones, CEO & co-founder of Photography Network about ideas for the new site. I’m really impressed with the direction the site is going. Very excited to see it all come together.

Your answer might be right here.
And keep in mind, most photographers don’t use flash for live photography anymore.  And the band can always request no flash photography.

After the on-air radio performance and interview at KUT (see a previous post). Elevator. Michael is on the phone continuing his promotional efforts for the show at the Continental club later that night.
We did some planning for a video shoot. Visited Joe Hummel at the kitchen where he makes his ever-more-popular bagels [...]
