Angela is one of my favorite clients – friendly, easy to photograph and great with referrals! I photographed her wedding to Colin Hoss last June, so I’ve known them both for a while.
They’re expecting a new addition to their family – their first baby – so Angela asked if I would do a few maternity portraits. We’re also doing some more right after Camden is born, so check back in!
I’m now going to a bi-weekly format for new Photographic Brides episodes. Enjoy the Turkey Day and I’ll see you all next week!
Since recently purchasing the Canon 50d digital SLR, I thought I’d compare it to Nikon’s D300. The following images were taken at 3200 ISO with the AF-S Zoom Nikkor 24-70 f2.8G ED (Whew!). I honestly can’t say there’s that much at all to choose between the two cameras… noise levels, focus speed and accuracy were very comparable.
I am quite happy with how the images look, NEF Raw files converted through Photoshop CS3.
Enjoy!

Just got back from another little vacation to Austin, TX and thought I would post some thoughts…
Junior Brown – Insanely good, if you think you’re pretty good at guitar, watch him live and be humbled.
Sixth Street on Friday night – Like Disneyland, but for drunk college students. Impressive but annoying.
Hot Dog King – If you order the Chicago Dog ask for a bun instead of a roll.
Home Slice Pizza – Watch graffiti artists and break dancers at work while you wait to dine on the best pizza this side of New York.
The Derailers – New bass player, same sound. I think the fire’s goin’ out here. Hope they turn it around. Still worth going to hear Sweet Basil on the Hammond/Leslie combo, though.
The Broken Spoke – Use the restroom before you go and bring your debit card. Three Jim Beams and a pitcher of water, uh I mean Lone Star, will set you back $25.
Jo’s Coffee – An Austin staple that never disappoints. Keep your eyes peeled for the likes of Luke Wilson and Sonic Youth.
Lucy in Disguise – Rent any costume you can imagine (they have the elusive Three Amigos garb I’ve been needing). Doubt Hollywood has anything on this place, it’s huge. On Soco across from Home Slice.
Cheapo Records – A little disappointed, I expected more from an Austin new and used record shop. We did pick up a Derailers Retrospective CD and Steve Martin “Let’s Get Small” LP, though.
La Cazuela’s Mexican Restaurant – Don’t go site seeing in their neighborhood. East of downtown on Cesar Chavez, I recommend investing in a bottle of Witch Hazel either before or immediately after dining. Live Tejano music, but they just stood around holding their instruments the whole time we were there?
WhataBurger – If we had one here I’d never eat at Burger King again. Come to think of it, I probably shouldn’t eat at Burger King ever again anyway…
Lions of Tsavo – Loud, brutal metal that I can totally get down with (surprisingly). My friend Josh is a monster on the drums. A Lafayette gig awaits… hopefully.
The County Line – Possibly the best BBQ joint in the country. I’ve eaten ‘Q in Georgia, Tennessee, Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis and elsewhere and The County Line is probably my reigning champ. Make sure and get The Beef Rib. Yes, it’s one rib and it eats like a meal.

Hey everybody! Welcome to the first installment of Photographic Brides!

Expect a new episode next week, and then we’ll go to a bi-weekly format with new episodes every other Wednesday. Check it out!
Just a cool sunset photo from the other day. My friend Pat and I were driving through the country and just decided to stop real quick so I could snap a photo. Canon 50d 200 ISO f3.5 1/20 sec. Handheld with the Canon EF-S 10-22mm @ 12mm, Adobe RAW converter. Click to view the larger image.
The white speck in the lower left quarter of the image is a crescent moon, which is fully discernible in the full size image. I’m thinking 20×30 inch Gallery Wrap!
