On Friday, May 4th, I was asked by my awesome friend Julie S, renowned Music Editor from the Austinist, to photograph Sarah Jaffe at The Parish. She has some amazing pipes and while the band was so-so, her voice carried the show – at one point singing Shut It Down a cappella. It was a [...]
On Friday evening I got to go to Gallery Black Lagoon’s First Annual Juried Black & White Photography Exhibition. Twenty one photographers were picked to be featured, including my great friend Jennifer Litterer! The opening was packed and it stayed that way all night.
