SXSW - You set me all a fire=)
So - I’m sitting here in bed with a huge grin on my cookie-eating face, remembering SXSW and what a tornado it really was. (A TORNADO OF SHEER AWESOME!) Something really clicked for me in all the running to new venues with new bands and new sounds. I have never seen such a motley crew! Everyone eager! Everyone in the moment! The happiest they could remember being! It was fast it was...

Circle in the Square
The other night I went to a cabaret that Circle in the Square’s acting students were putting up at the Triad Theatre (amazing space!) It was a rapid-fire showcase of everything they had to offer and some of their work was truly incredible.
I was so frustrated that I didn’t take more shots but after weighing the space/situation, seeing no one else with cameras, being surrounded by...

SXSW: Anais Mitchell
Anais was the one on my list that I HAD to see! The Ale House was dimly lit and seemed worlds away from the Chaos of show-goers outside. Her performance was so intimate and allowed for her stories to bounce around the room. Anais wrote a rock-opera “Hades Town”, currently staring Ani Difranco, and performed several pieces from it She is as infinitely interesting as she is talented....

SXSW Day THREE!!!!
Oh Man! Yesterday marked the end of my SXSW experience but I am forever grateful and filled to the brim with anticipation for the next band I can photograph! I’m still editing and going through SO MANY PICTURES - so until I can sift through it all, let me grant you a little Jenny Owen Youngs and a a DIY singer/songwriter who camouflaged herself in the audience! I wish the lighting was a...

SXSW!
My friend and adventure companion Mercy introduced me to her cousin Catie this past summer. Catie has an incredible story! She up and left everything that was safe to pursue her dreams of becoming a photographer;) She is absolutely hilarious and makes you feel as though you’ve known her for years. It was because of Catie and her blog that I began to come to grips with blogging and the...

My heart expands for each of you.
Among the trillion of things I’m thankful for I’d like to take a moment to mention these few …

My mum. She has championed all of my goals and dreams. She erupts with love and laughter at all my...
