If you are friends with me on twitter or facebook, you may have seen me talking about a mysterious package I received on Tuesday and how I didn’t know what it could be. Well.. I picked it up yesterday, and inside was a copy of the August issue of Austin Monthly!

Every month the magazine features a different restaurant in their food section, and I took the photos for this month’s article about Cho Sushi (which btw.. is very very tasty). I’m excited about all the photos they used, and as a really great surprise, they used one of them in the table of contents section at the front of the magazine!

A few snippets of downtown Austin –

I promised more puppy photos, and here they are. Our little Sydney is growing up..

Are you tired of looking at taco photos? I hope not, cause I have a few more.

Josh and I were driving around East Austin on Saturday afternoon and decided to get a late lunch at El Chilito. And some pineapple agua fresca. Mmmmm… tasted like snow cone syrup. So yummy.

Today I leave you with.. another Torchy’s Tacos photo. Because who can resist some yummy taco goodness? Not I.

Look below. Yes, those are flags made out of food.

TODO Austin is a fantastic publication here in Austin that focuses on the city’s multicultural community. For the July issue, the focus was on fusion foods, so the talented Kathy Phan and I brainstormed ideas for the cover, and came up with this. We spent a morning making these flags out of food and then took photos and wound up with this for the cover.

I think it looks quite fantastic.. although I’m not sure I would actually eat any of those flags. Black olives, pesto and mustard? No thanks.
