My Bell and Howell Super 8 Film projector

outh By South West is taking over Austin.  Here’s one in honor of the film portion of the festival. My good friend – the very talented photographer and printer- David Johndrow will be speaking at the Alamo  Drafthouse  on a panel before a screening of the new documentary about the prophetic Bill Hicks whom he knew since childhood. David also has a show of his magnificent photographs through April, 10 at the L. Nowlin gallery. His masterful silver, platinum palladium and gum-oil prints are not to be missed.

Portrait of the Architect as a young man.

Tribeza magazine here in town assigned me to make a portrait of local architect Brian Dillard for their upcoming October Architectural issue. He is a very talented architect who has designed many projects in different areas of Austin. I met him in his South Congress office where he showed me a few plans for homes he is working on. We then walked up the block and around the corner where I shot him in the soft, early evening, summer light against the side of Guerro’s. 20 minutes and a roll of 120 later and we were set. Thanks Brian!
