Today I was asked to photograph reaction shots outside a courtroom for a sentencing appeal for Laura Hall, who received 10 years for tampering with evidence in the 2005 murder of Jennifer Cave (Full Story). Hall’s case backfired after she appealed an original five-year sentence and received 10 years instead. Sharon Sedwick, Jennifer Cave’s mother, spoke to the media outside the courtroom:
First Thursday is an evening at the beginning of each month when local shops and restaurants in the SoCo (South Congress Avenue) area of Austin stay open late for customers. SoCo is a really neat area adorned with 1950s style neon signs and shops so I thought I’d swing past there after dark off the clock to shoot a few features. I drive through the area each day on the way to work, but it’s definitely a different perspective seeing it after dark.
