CANON AE-1

I have always wanted to try photography out, but have never had more than a simple point and shoot, polaroid, or any other sort of generic camera until now. I recently got a Canon AE-1 off of craigslist (my lord and saviour) for a dirt cheap price. It took me a few days to figure out exactly what was going on with it and after a tutorial a homegirl, I finally have something to show for it.

I started a flickr set called Canon AE-1 where I will be posting all my newest prints. Here is what I have so far!



I figured out that just like records (analog), I am addicted to shooting on film now. This might change when I get my Nikon, but we will see.

FADER MAGAZINE x BACARDI "SOUNDCHECK" PARTY

Wooooo! I finally found the Austin 360 posting from the Fader Magazine party last week at the Scoot Inn. The pics are great and the turnout was amazing. For that missed out, you might get upset with these pics.


CLICK HERE FOR MORE PICS.

Fader has teamed up with Bacardi for a series of events of the last few months. The B-Live series has mega headliners, which you may have heard of with the whole Jazzy Jeff issue, and they have had the Soundcheck parties with local parties on a smaller scale. They did a 10 city tour with Soundcheck and Austin came out strong, actually having the most people attend out of the other 9 cities... including New York!!!

Thanks to my people at Fader Magazine for having me play both Austin and Dallas, Rufus at Scoot Inn, Austin 360, and everyone for spreading the word and love.
INSECT RECORDS in FULL EFFECT

This just in from Twitter, my good homies over at Rec Spec have finished up the Insect Records website.


They have released a series of 45's from some of Stones Throw's roster, including a split from Dudley "Declaime" Perkins & Georgia Anne Muldrow, as well as have other Austin based releases in the works.

For more info on what they have in the works or have already released, visit the site... Insect Records

I welcome Insect Records into my life and hope that Ben and the rest of the IR staff have a great number of years and releases in the future ahead.

::NOTE::

I am keeping my fingers crossed on this one, but there is a potential Prince Klassen release in the works. Shhh, don't tell anyone.
