Bad News for Austin Photowalk

I was thinking about planning a mega SXSW photowalk in Austin, but I have decided not to. They take a lot of work to plan out and execute on... I'm afraid I just don't have the time to make it happen!

 

I know many of you are coming to Austin for SXSW - maybe I will see you around the streets!

 

Daily Photo - Mountainstorm

I took an evening drive to Glenorchy, which is about 50 km outside of Queenstown. It's one of the windiest drives in the world, especially in the middle of a violent storm! The rain stopped for a short time while I went on a short hike to capture the mountains across the lake.

 

The wind was so intense. After setting up the tripod and setting up the interval timer, I had to shield the whole thing with my body, by leaning into the wind on the more threatening side of the camera. As I was doing this, I was wondering if anyone would really want to be my assistant. it's not nearly as glamorous as you might think!
