This is Floyd. Floyd is one heck of a guy and a great welder here in Austin, TX. Shooting on location for T.D. Williamson, ten feet undergrount in a five foot wide hole, Floyd made sure I did not damage my eyes or get welder’s sunburn.

While working on assignment at an American military base in Egypt, I found these boys with a donkey in a local village.
The Khan
March 31, 2008
While on assignment in Cairo I had the opportunity to visit the Khan, the oldest and perhaps the largest marketplace in the world. Some say that it may be more appropriate to call it “The Con”. The street vendors know just a few words in multiple languages: “How may I take your money today?”. Quite an experience I will not soon forget!

Aquaterra
March 15, 2007
Aquaterra again. This ad includes the only image in the campaign that I originally shot for another client and is in my stock photo library. The ballet dancer at the Texas State Capitol was shot for the ad agency GSD&M for their client Ballet Austin. It worked well for this particular application, showing that the “arts” are always nearby. The adjacent shot I captured at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden in Austin.

This image was a location test for the Aquaterra jogging image. The location with the “long shot” image below was used instead.

Another in the Aquaterra series. The image on the left is shot from near the future location of the Aquaterra developement ( On top of the Austin, TX Chamber of Commerce building). The jogger image , I shot at the hike & bike trail. This shot I staged, shooting it from the water, with my crew members and Stacy Holland on the boat and the trail near our runner with walkie talkies for coordination.

Okay, here is the next piece in the series. Since Aquaterra is not built yet, locations were scouted to show what the negative edge pool and view will be like on the roof of the 20 story condo. I shot the swan at Red Bud Isle. Again, working with the talented firm of Stacy Design.

These two shots are part of a campaign for Aquaterra, a 20 story condo development in Austin, just south of Town Lake. I shot the water scene on the Lamar bridge. The magazine ads and direct mail pieces were designed by Stacy Holland of Stacy Design. Stacy is a wonderful designer with a great staff. We had a great time working together, shooting lots of great images for Aquaterra. More of this campaign to follow.
