I really wanted to shoot a portrait on the s. first bridge. I attempted it once before but was thwarted by a homeless man who felt that the bridge was
his alone and seemingly wouldn’t share it with me, without it coming to punches, so I walked away knowing I would return another time. Sometimes
the photo forces work with you and sometimes they just flat out say no. With this photo of Heather I feel they were definitely with me.
Thanks Heather!

Here are two slides from my “short stories” submission that was accepted in the Slideluck Potshow (SLPS) that is happening this Saturday at
Shangri-La. My “short stories” series is an on-going body of work and the slideshow consists of new work that I completed this year.
The SLPS is a part of the  E.A.S.T. art tour in Austin this weekend. If you have never been to this event you should make the effort. The SLPS was
founded in 2000 in NYC and has been happening worldwide since then. It had its Austin debut last year. You can find the history of this event
here. The potluck dinner, that is open to the public, begins at 7pm before the slideshow. The slideshow itself begins at 9pm. You can find the
particulars here. I hope to see you at the show on Saturday night.

While visiting NJ, I went and visited DeKorte Park. The literature stated this was an urban estuary and educational area. The park includes a
repurposed landfill, a marsh boardwalk, and utility service roads. There weren’t many birds around but there was a nice sunset.

I was lucky enough to end up in nyc for Halloween. The subway and streets were lined with costumed people waiting to get to the parade. I shot
this one while waiting to get off of the overcrowded subway platfrom. I saw this amazing woman in this green dress and I quickly grabbed my
camera and waited for her to turn towards me. I just love this image.
