Hey guys! I'm excited to be launching a new project and website - amateur concert photography by me around Austin, TX. This is a passion project, combining my love of music and photography, where I will try to capture special moments on stage. I'd love if you'd follow along here, or at the site.

post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet (if you feel like it): My baby girl, Poppy. This is the day she found a half eaten chicken sandwich at the dog park.

There should be state and federal programs helping to put solar panels on all buildings with a certain square footage roof. Schools, hospitals, business parks, parking garages, warehouses, everywhere. 1. Creates jobs 2. Saves business’ money 3. Benefits the environment

We Visited Every Record Store in Austin
Last Fall, Erik, one of my oldest friends (who lives halfway across the country), hit me up and asked, ”If I buy Nine Inch Nails tickets for their Austin show, would you go with me?” Obviously, the answer was “yes,” and we planned a trip for him to spend about a week with us. I told him that I wanted to go to every record store in Austin with him when he’s here. He’s the reason I got into collecting records over 10 years ago, and because of that, I decided he would be the perfect person to go on this adventure with.

I hit the craziest luck at the beginning of the game, got greedy, and then got burnt. This likely would have been my highest scoring Zombie Galacti game ever.

This girl must have a rotten reputation. On walks when she sees other dogs she gets excited, barks, and jumps because she wants to go meet them. But the other people must think she’s violent and the cross the street. I understand some dogs aren’t friendly but my girl just wants to sniff some butts

Sometimes at night when we haven’t seen Poppy in a while I’ll look at the back door behind me using my phone and that’s where Poppy is. Standing by the back door, but NOT ringing the bell like she does all day everyday for 5 years.

I bought the Absolute Edition of The Death of Superman and it comes with some really cool stuff! And the “dust cover” is Superman’s tattered cape. There’s also a big fold out poster of Funeral for a Friend, but I didn’t open that.
