Range Life

I spend the weekend at the family Ranch in Utopia Texas. There was a full moon and it gave me a opportunity to shoot some of the cousins in the old cattle bins.

Scott Weiland @ La Zona Rosa Austin

On 16 Jan I shot an assignment for Rolling Stone covering Scott Weiland and the first date on his current tour. Rarely without controversy I found him to be a pretty nice guy, albeit a little tardy to his own show. Also got to meet Doug Grean whose music projects include The Crystal Method of which I am a fan… not to mention Paz de la Huerta. I was able to take my newly acquired canon 5DII through the ringer shooting all of the shots without flash, with iso speeds up to 5000.
You can see the rolling stone sideshow here and some additional photos here
