SoCo First Thursday

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.

Leland Smith, a local painter, works on a piece under a canopy as a drizzling rain mists the area during SoCo First Thursday on Thursday, July 1, 2010. "I gave it up for 20 years," Smith said of his work, but says he is painting again after the hiatus.

When it rains, it pours

When it rains, it pours. This is certainly the case in Texas. It doesn’t sprinkle here, it unloads gallons. At least this has been the case during my stay this summer in Texas. After my first assignment of the day, I headed back to the office, but started shooting rain features when a downpour started.
