Austin fans watch World Cup final
You win some, you lose some. Such is the case with soccer and photography. Today my main assignment was to shoot local reaction to the World Cup from one of the local bars. Since neither team had scored, I positioned myself where the light was best in the pub and shot the Dutch fans who happened to be in front of me (the bar I was at was about 80 percent Dutch fans). With the game tied at 0-0 at the end of the first 90 minutes, I was essentially guessing that the Netherlands would win. I was wrong. I got a great Dutch celebration shot (see the last shot), but since they didn’t win the image is irrelevant. Luckily, I was able to cover the flip side of the coin with a Spanish celebration shot:

Alejandro Escovedo at Blues on the Green
My shift on Wednesday night was pretty slow so I walked over to Zilker Park and shot a few features of the evening’s headliner, Alejandro Escovedo. Escovedo was one of the musicians performing this summer at Blues on the Green, a free concert series that draws hundreds of Austinites to Zilker Park each Wednesday evening.
Park feature
I was on the way to a different assignment this evening, but stopped to make this feature. I’m a fan of silhouettes and I seem to be becoming more of a minimalist with some of my features, especially ones I know aren’t going to run in the paper.
