Walking around Austin during SXSW

Texas sure does have beautiful light in the evening. You know, the nice golden light that every photographer loves.

The second snowfall in Columbia S.C.

Anyone who’s lived in the south long enough will tell you that it doesn’t snow very often. It’s really rare that it snows in Columbia, even more so when it snows twice in one winter. Here are some photos that I took while walking around my neighborhood this afternoon.

Gorges State Park 2010

It’s amazing how much a town can change in one year.

We went to Sapphire North Carolina this weekend to Gorges State Park to go hiking at Rainbow Falls. Since we were there last year, they’ve installed a large parking lot and a trailhead at the bottom of Drift Falls, about a 1.5 mile hike downhill and up to Turtleback falls. The last time we were there, we parked near the church parking lot and hiked down to Turtleback Falls, then down further to Rainbow Falls.

Here are some photos from this past weekend:

We also stopped in Brevard, North Carolina for lunch and Highlands North Carolina for dinner. These are both really great towns worth exploring.

Denver trip day three

By day three of my Denver trip, my constant on the go pace had finally caught up with me.

After I checked-in to my hotel, I had to muster up the strength to go find lunch. I really just wanted to crash and sleep.

Denver Trip
One of the most interesting sights that I found along the way were the pianos that sat out in the open for people to play. There were some very talented homeless people who could really play. It makes me wonder, how did they get into that situation and yet the can play such beautiful music?

I pushed on though, spending most of the morning exploring the 16th street mall, looking for good photo ops.
