S 1st Austin
Another fake movie still from my Austin16x9 series.
Austin16x9
I visited Austin for the first time during a work trip last spring. Naturally, I enjoyed the city immensely. But I was disappointed with my photography efforts; I didn’t have much time after being in a conference all day, and I just didn’t seem to know how to approach it. I got very few decent photos. Recently however, I went back and had another look at the set and started playing around with different crops. I realized that many of the shots look better in a 16×9 aspect, which seem to give them a cinematic character. I am now working up a small series based on this.

The below ad for musicians to jam with was found on Craigslist Austin. It’s the funniest damn thing I’ve seen in ages, or at least since the last time I claimed something was funniest damn thing I’d seen in ages. I guess because there are some decidedly un-PC passages, the post was flagged as abusive and pulled down, instead of being added to Best of Craigslist, which it clearly deserves. I mean, the guy is tapping into some deep truths about the human condition here, or at least deep truths about rock musicians. I think we can all learn from that kind of sincerity. Right?
