I had one of my first true Austin experiences on Wednesday night. Austin is known as the live music capital of the world for not only South by Southwest, but also the regular concerts throughout the year. One of the most popular concerts in the summer is Blues on the Green every Wednesday night at Zilker Park near downtown. A few thousand people come out for the free show with blankets, dogs and beer. Here is a frame of the night’s featured performer, Carolyn Wonderland:

Cemeteries of Austin
Here’s a few photos for a personal profile story. The shoot was at 8:15 a.m. in the morning so the light wasn’t ideal, but I worked around it by playing with the shadows created by the trees in the cemetery.
Tower time
On Tuesday I had the opportunity to take a special tour of the University of Texas Tower with members of the local media. The tower will close to the public after Saturday in order to allow construction crews to install a new air conditioning system in the building.
An evening at the ballpark
Here’s a feature I shot tonight up at Dell Diamond in Round Rock. The Statesman had a suite reserved at the minor league game there for the interns and a few staffers.
