Austin Eats

Some recent work from a few different food shoots I’ve done in the past few weeks, including a cover for Austin 360. I hope you’re not looking at this while hungry.

Unrelated

So these photos have nothing to do with each other, except that I had a photo pipe dream that the Boy Scouts parade would somehow wander over to the Undie Run and I’d get a great reaction shot. It never happened, so now I’m just mashing the photos together. It was a good day for some […]
