SXSW 2010

I was asked to go on a roadtrip from LA to ATX to shoot the SXSW music festival for Redefine Magazine. Being from Texas and going to college at UT, it's always so nice to go back and visit my hometown, especially since I got access to photograph backstage and shoot video interviews for bands like Bear in Heaven, Metavari and dd/mm/yyyy.

Some of my other favorite performances were the Black Angels, Flying Lotus, The Blind Pets and of course Bone Thugs n Harmony. AOL even hired me to shoot their SXSW Soul Revue Concert at the Austin Music Hall, featuring Smokey Robinson. It was a great time and I can't wait for next year.

Cash Only

I went on a "Cash Only: Diners, Dive Bars and Yard Sales" roadtrip from Los Angeles to Austin with Redefine Magazine. Our mission was to eat at the best diners, drink cheap beer, play pool at the best dive bars and scavange for lost treasure at local yard sales. We left LA on march 13 and arrived in ATX on March 17. We had an amazing time and even wrote a blog about it called Cash Only. Check it out for a detailed account of our amazing adventures.

Highlights of the trip include a pool party in Palm Springs, dead fish of the Salton Sea, camping in Yuma, an endless search for the Rodan Crater, Belgian Jennie's pizza and the Spirit Room in Jerome, late night dive bars in Albequerque, sand boarding on the dunes in White Sands and the ghost towns with "beautiful skies" of West Texas...Tim, Kevin and Vivian will always hold a special place in my heart.
