Day-eighty-two...



Raindrops... new toy alert, not the Dunny the two flashes you see in the picture, two SB-R200 speedlights, Sarah saw the R1C1 kit at Precision Camera and decided that we should have it as they use it on CSI... awesome reason to get it as far as I'm concerned... LoLz... and now back to your regularly scheduled program...

Day-eighty...



DJ... early morning, downtown Austin, final hoorah for SXSW 2010... its been fun, a little hectic at times but here is my final assignment a DJ showcase... how exactly do you photograph someone who stands behind a table mixing music from a laptop (LaZy)... yeah no one could answer that one for me either, so I decided to get a little creative with slow shutter and rear flash... also I just noticed that my time stamps on my photos aren't correct... ooops...

Escalator... a sight I'm all too familiar with at this point, I can now officially make my way around the Austin Convention Center with no assistance from a map... is that a good thing or bad thing, no time to worry about it... and next...

Day-off... no SXSW madness today, consider it the calm before the storm as I've got the day-off from shooting... spent it at home which I haven't seen much this week except for when I come home to sleep and backup the day's photos... and we keep rolling...

Day-seventy-six...



Random... I think its funny how people just want their picture taken at the most random times, take this picture for example... I was waiting for the first act getting my equipment ready for a showcase at the Encore patio for SXSW 2K10 and these two girls just came up to me and asked me to take their picture. No info on where it would be posted if even or who they even are, just they wanted their picture taken. This happened to me three or four times daily so I've now got a bunch of pictures of people I don't know from the different venues I photographed... ohh well mass update as I've been shooting alot and been totally lazy about posting... so on to the next pic...
