Nash Hernandez Orchestra

Bearded Iris — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 08:03:05 +0000

The Nash Hernandez Orchestra is Austin’s longest running big band. Established in 1949 by trumpeter, Nash Hernandez, the orchestra continues today under the direction of his youngest son, drummer Ruben Hernandez. I caught them at the Austin Club for a very soulful set of dance numbers and jazz standards.

Brooke & Will

These guys have been together forever and you can tell how much they care for each other. They were married July 31st at All Saints Church, across the street from a raging frat party. That didn’t seem to bother these guys though. The evening continued at the Austin Club downtown, with a wonderful night of dining and dancing.

CLV @ Paradise

Bearded Iris — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 22:20:55 +0000

CLV brought the funk to Paradise Cafe this muggy Friday night in June. 6th and Trinity was swarming with motorcylists attending the ROT Rally. They filled the bar, as it has one of the best menus on Sixth (chicken and bacon – yumm). The venue has a great wood walled upstairs room and a big stage, necessary for a family band with a big sound and a lot of talented players.

Meredith & Nate

Meredith & Nate had a rainy wedding day, and as this is supposedly good luck, they took it in strides. We missed out on being in the Botanical Gardens, but the covered area suited well. Afterwards, we strolled down to Times Ten Cellars and had blast – a great spot for merriment, dancing and the wide variety of tapas we snacked on.

Texas Relays 2010

Bearded Iris — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 23:27:00 +0000

I frequently work sporting events with Earl Miller Productions running camera at UT & Round Rock Express games for the LED displays (or Jumbotrons as many folks mistakenly call them), archival footage and internet feed. I pulled cable out at the Texas Relays for two extremely long days (27 hours at the stadium in 36 hours) pulling cable and running camera. The event has been ongoing for 85 years and thousands of athletes particpate each year from all over Texas in the high school division and all over the country in the college divisions. A&M, Killeen and Houston Westbury all had outstanding performances and many best of times of 2010 year were set here this weekend. UT did well in Men’s shot put.

Louis Girl Shoot

The Cle De Sol Entertainment crew had me be the Director of Photography at their last video shoot. The song was Loius Girl and we shot at a luxury car show room in Haltom City, right outside of Fort Worth. Check the video page in a few weeks for that video. In the meantime, here is a sneak peek:

Tech Cocktail SXSW Accelerator Mixer

Bearded Iris — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 17:01:19 +0000

I shot one of the SXSW Accelerator events at the palm Door hosted by a couple of cool entrpreneurs from Tech Cocktail , “a media & events company better connecting & amplifying the startup technology community.” These guys host parties that feature some of the newest and most dynamic new start-ups in the tech filed. This year there were many new apps featured, along with some other revolutionary technology and cool gadgets like the mini PC’s debuted by Intel. A few of my favorite apps were GoTryItOn.com, FoodSpotting.com and RecycleMatch.com.

Big props to Jen Consalvano and Frank Gruber for doing such an outstanding job. A few companies were funded at this event!

Zilker

Bearded Iris — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 23:19:00 +0000

I just received a few new lenses. Sigma 10-20MM f/4-5.6, Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 and a Nikon AI’d Nikkor-S 50mm f/1.4. To try them out I visited some of the premiere spots in Zilker Park, primarily the botanical gardens. I love shooting flowers and the irises were just starting to bloom, as were the daffodils and pansies. Expect many more irises this month as they are my favorite flower. Zilker has a tiny but impressive succulent garden as well. I will be using these for my stock photography, but the trip was mainly just for me.

Red Cross Stamp Collection

Bearded Iris — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 01:32:34 +0000

The following 15 shots are from a 675 piece stamp collection I recently shot. The stamps are from all over the world and were all issued to commend the outstanding work the Red Cross has been doing for over 100 years. I selected 15 to post here and if you would like to see more, please check out the Red Cross Stamp Collection Best 100. The display of this collection will be used to help raise funds to support the Red Cross. I shot with my Nikon 300D, a 60 mm Macro lens and 2 studio strobes.

Another Addiction

Another Addiction is an up-and-coming group of talented hard rock kids from Round Rock. We did a shoot outside of the Amtrak station so these guys could have ome promo photos. Check them out on MySpace.
