I know I am so incredibly lucky to live within walking distance of Home Slice Pizza. I loooove NY style pizza and Home Slices’ never disappoints. Also, once a year, they hold a Carnival O Pizza. This is something I can definitely get behind. Here are a few snaps I took at this year’s event.

You may have noticed my posting here has tapered off. Well there is a good reason for that and no, it’s not just because I’m lazy. I’ve been working on two new blogs. Yes, two!

But what about this one? What’s going to happen here? Well.. this blog will remain dedicated to any photography news. If I’ve been published in something, or have taken new photos for a restaurant, this will be the place I will announce it.

Then what are those other two blogs for? The first, I’ve been working on, and launched last week. It’s called I See Nom Noms and is completely dedicated to food photography. I had been going back and forth on the idea of whether I should start a food-related blog for about a year now, and I finally decided to just go for it. I’ve been really excited about it so far. And this way.. if you only care about my food-related posts.. that is the blog for you to bookmark.

I’m starting a second blog that will be focused more on photos I’ve taken around Austin. I love this city, and I love just going around and capturing bits and pieces of it and want a place to share those with you. I don’t have that one all set up yet though, so you’ll have to wait just a bit longer before checking that out.

Like I mentioned, this blog will be for stuff I’ve done professionally.. like these photos I shot for West Elm. These were taken back in February at the pop-up shop curated by the lovely Abby. So many great people involved, I felt so lucky to get to be there the whole day and capture it all! Here is a selection of some of my favorite images from the day. And want to know who was there? Check out Abby’s blog posts for a list of the amazing, creative sellers.

Hi everyone! There is an awesome upcoming event in a couple of weeks here in Austin. West Elm is putting on an event with Etsy sellers and curated by Abby Powell. The event is focused on handmade art, and looking at the vendors that Abby has selected… it’s going to be awesome. Tons of cute stuff. Check out Abby’s blog to see who is participating.

Also… thanks to Abby and West Elm, I’m going to be doing the photography for the event, so if you attend, you may see me walking around with my camera taking lots and lots of photos! I can’t wait!

You can RSVP for the event here. Event at West Elm downtown on 5th (across from Whole Foods). February 26th. Be there.

You’ve seen me post about cake pops on here before. My friend Kathy makes super-amazing, creative, cute ones. Well, in about a week and a half she is teaching a class here in Austin on how to make Christmas cake pops! Sign up here if you’re interested.

Below are some photos I’ve taken of Kathy’s cake pop creations in the past.. and check out her blog for more cake pop posts.

Lots and lots of ACL photos.

I spent all day Thursday and part of Friday moving, so when ACL fest rolled around I was already wiped out. But I managed to pull it together cause it’s ACL!!!! Josh and I saw some great shows, laid on our blanket at others and just overall had a great time. My favorite shows were The National and Yeasayer. Such great energy at both.

I took my little Canon Elph to the festival.. so low light photos were a bit challenging, and my zoom didn’t really allow for fantastic band  close-ups, but I tried to be creative with my photo taking.

And so I present to you… my view of ACL 2010.
