Austin American-Statesman
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
I photographed Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros on Tuesday night at La Zona Rosa. They’re an indie folk rock group from Los Angeles that are gradually gaining popularity nationwide. One sign of this is the fact they sold out La Zona Rosa. Since it was a sell out, I showed up at 7:30 p.m. and waited in line to get in then made my way to the front of the stage. After the opening act, the band finally took the stage around 10:45 p.m. They’re a very interesting group, and definitely worth a listen.

Monday was a slow day at the office as there were only two photographers working. I spent most of the day driving around scouting some features and trying to set up a photo project for the coming weeks. At dusk, I walked up onto the Congress Avenue bridge to get a shot of the bats coming out from under the bridge. They never showed, but I caught a couple in two kayaks alone on the lake below:
Boom go the fireworks
I photographed Austin’s annual Fourth of July fireworks display for the Statesman. The show started at 9:30 p.m. and my editor wanted stuff by 10:15 p.m. I staked out a spot atop a hill in the Auditorium Shores Park and set up my camera on a tripod and had my laptop ready to go. I started submitting midway through the show using my Droid. In case you are wondering, the exposure for the photo below is 5 sec, f/8 at 200 ISO.
