You never know what you might find atop the cliffs @ the 360 Pennybacker bridge in Austin, TX!

I was up there scouting the bridge for a sunset walk a couple weeks ago and much to my dismay these folks showed up and put on a little side show!
My only lament is that they never contacted me, I wouldn’t mind shooting them again!

For a period of about 8months to a year (2006) I was given the chance to photograph several live music acts here in Austin, Texas.

I worked for a great little entertainment magazine Insite Austin.

While they weren’t able to pay me at least I got to see some cool acts for free and they used my images in their Insite Hinsdsite featured section.

This post and several following are some of the acts I got to shoot.
311 Was far and away to the most exciting and most well known of all the acts I got to cover….in fact, I was actually there specifically to shoot the opening act that night, Pepper! In talking with one of the concert goers during a downpour break, he encouraged me to get down there and slip into the same spot with my credentials (sticker) and have @ it with 311! And the guys working security let me!! :-)

Herein are the last few from this set of pictures using the auto rig to take pictures of the Rav4 while in motion.

As luck would have it, I now have time to go out and get some more shots but wouldn’t you know it, the weather outlook is grim over the next 3.8-5.57 days.

No matter, I need to remind myself to always be on the look out for potential locations and you know what, come to think of it, now might be a good time to check out the parking garage @ Round Rock city hall; that should provide cover from the weather (of course the car might get dirty on the road!) Maybe I’ll just scout the location!
