Claudia, Hannah, Mike, Elliot, Bryan, and I walk the streets of Austin photographing Austin-ites.

Meet Claudia, Hannah, Elliot, Bryan, and Mike.

Meet my crew in Austin.  They join me on the hot streets of Austin and take photographs with folks in all sorts of settings.

Claudia is a budding photographer, Hannah loves animals, Elliot is an inventor, Bryan is a traveler, but soon to be teacher, and Mike rides a bike.

I couldn’t have asked for better models.

Meet Jeff & Adam.

Adam and I are old friends who worked together in Virginia at New Dominion School.  Jeff is is good friend.

I meet up with Adam and Jeff in Redlands, California as I travel East towards Las Vegas.  Jeff, Adam, and I go to a get together at their fraternity house and listen to the band, Three Point Landing.

Jeff, Adam, and his roommates are on a mission to get in shape.  To keep them on track they are sharing their experiences on their brand new website, Life Changing Mondays.  Every Monday they recommit themselves to changing their lives.

Check out their site and give them some encouragement.

Meet Eddie: He plays the guitar on Hollywood Blvd.

“Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.” – Angela Monet

Meet Eddie.

“I’m just doing this for fun.”

Eddie is playing Elvis covers on Hollywood Boulevard.  Not Elvis’ newer stuff, either.  No one else around here is playing ‘Old Elvis’.  

Eddie just plays on the street for fun.  He is working with his agent, DJ Greasy George, on getting jigs in Los Angeles.  Eddie also plays an open mic across the street.  

Eddie plays me a tune and afterwards, asks if I want to hang out.  I would have, but I already had plans.
