a cool toned campout

my brother in law invited a few of his friends and me to his uncle’s farm to camp this past weekend.

other than me, it was a bunch of dad’s with their young kiddos.  a little terrifying for me at first, but it turned out to be an incredibly fun weekend.

the land was an armadillo haven.  i saw tons of signs of dillos, but i only caught a short glimpse of one in person…

the night nature walk was certainly one of the highlights for everyone…

i got to shoot for my friend, stephen breaux again last week.

stephen is the phenomenal landscape designer who founded austin-based breaux design.

i’ve said it here before that i love his work.  so it’s great when we get to work together.

when we finished the quick shoot… he reminded me that his work (and subsequently mine too) was featured in a book recently.  and he gave me a copy.

it’s a big, beautiful hardcover coffee table book, with some truly spectacular designs and photographs.  check it out if you get a chance!

pedernales falls | sunrise hike

after my shoot in austin last week, i decided to head out to camp at an old favorite spot of mine: pedernales falls state park.

i hadn’t been out there in about ten years.  and frankly, it was better than i remembered it.

from the river to the waterfalls to the vast brush country, pedernales falls is a true hill country gem.

 

next time i go, i’ll spend more than just a few morning hours… :)
