1950′s Kitchen Time – Creative Collaboration
If you aren’t laughing after the first image, you should probably just go ahead and stop reading now. This shoot was all about fun in the kitchen with a little mischief and a little Lucy on too much Vitameatavegimen. The kitchen was small but the hair was huge!

Sirens vs. Druid Archer – Mystical Weekend Day Two AM Preview
Continuation of yesterday’s post…… The sirens call out, searching and singing for their next prey.

Arrows alight as [...]

Emily Underwater – Creative – Austin, Texas

Before I get started on my experience, first let me give a huge thanks to my buddy Gordon Poon for making this possible, he is a good guy and a great pilot (because he landed).

Seguin’s 4th of July Parade
The 4th of July Parade in Seguin is a certified Big Deal. Entrants come from all over the surrounding counties to drive down Austin St. in front of crowd lined businesses. It’s the closest Guadalupe county will ever get to a Royal Wedding. I can remember as kid the Shriner Cars zooming around in their [...]
