Hello from fun and funky Austin! I’m here all week for a wedding photography seminar called the Anti-Workshop. It’s a small, hands-on workshop taught by two of my favorite photography teams, Doug and Chenin Boutwell and John and Dalisa Cooper. They are amazing! Both husband-wife teams are rock stars in the wedding industry, known for their edgy photos and crazy concepts. They decided to hold this workshop to encourage other photographers to step outside their predictable images, and aim for something different.
Austin has been the perfect setting for this seminar, with lots of great photo locations! Today we worked in teams of four, with a model for each team. We had two hours to wander around Austin for a photo scavenger hunt. Loved it. I especially loved seeing the outstanding images that other photographers came up with during this assignment. Seriously I was blown away by the talent in that room. Here are some of the ones that I took today.

My little cousin, James Wyatt
Annandale, Virginia
September, 2006
My cousin Christine had a baby over the summer! It’s her first child, and we’re all so happy to welcome little James into the family. While I was in Virginia a couple months ago, I took some portraits of the baby, but I haven’t had a chance to sort through any of my family photos since then. It has been a busy season! Tonight I took a break and looked through these adorable pictures.

Chrissy and Barry
Denver, Colorado
October 28, 2006
Chrissy and Barry had such a fun wedding! They had the biggest wedding party I’d ever seen, all of whom had crazy senses of humor. Chrissy and Barry are fortunate to have so many great friends. They kept us laughing all day long!
Newlywed Chrissy and Barry traveled to their reception in a 1940s Rolls Royce. I like how this candid photo features Barry’s brand new ring. They got married at Bethany Lutheran Church, had a portrait shoot in Cherry Hills, and then celebrated at the Terrace Gardens at Ken Caryl. It was a gorgeous, warm day, with clear blue skies.
Chrissy and Barry, I hope you have a wonderful time in Australia! You’re going to love it there.

It’s fun to watch the local election results, and see my photos of John Morse and other local candidates on the news. 
Over the last several weeks, the pictures have been on TV commercials and marketing brochures, too. Cool.
I’m not thrilled about all the election results, but I’m more satisfied than dissatisfied. I’ve had a good day today, doing my civic voting duty. My car was in the shop, so I had to walk into downtown Manitou to vote, which was about a five-mile round trip. The weather was gorgeous, so my dog and I spent the afternoon at a at an outdoor cafe. Tonight Mike and I made cookies and watched Stewart and Colbert reveal election results. I’m still eager to see what will happen with the Senate!
