Dancer. In old Austin. Before the city's population explosion...


Long gone dance studio on East Sixth St. 

 Yesterday's project, photographing two attorneys, went off without a hitch. Files have already been selected and we'll do final post processing tomorrow. 

We're still moderating all comments because there is a person who is obsessed with leaving dozens of malevolent comments on the blog every night. It's not so bad. The comments are easy to bulk moderate. And Google is being helpful.  I guess it's just a sign of the times. Mental health issues everywhere. 

This weekend features (weather permitting!) the annual Eeyore's Birthday Party event at Pease Park in Austin, Texas. Costumes, painted faces, contests of strength and creativity and so much more. Starts around 11 a.m. and continues till dusk. Be sure to experience the drum circles... 

After a flurry of electronic flash purchases I've got nothing new to report. The Leica SF58 did fine. Nothing glitched. Nothing broke. 

We've had marvelous weather here right up until today. Now the temperatures are rising, the humidity is villainous and the pollen bearing trees, grasses and shrubs are in full allergy mode. A nice time to spend an afternoon in front of the computer...

Have a great weekend!

I do love the grain present in these photos!

Since both of these images started life on Tri-X film the grain is completely authentic. Thanks!

And this weekend on the other side of Texas -- and possibly in a different universe -- the little town of Turkey, Texas, celebrates Bob Wills Day. Guitars, fiddles, and western swing.

Authentic grain!

I like the term "subtractive lighting" btw, not sure I've heard it before, but maybe I need to get out more.
