Busy Busy

Been a busy dude. Busy, busy, busy. In time for the holidays, I intend to unveil a collection of photographs suitable for gift giving. Keep an eye for that on Friday. Here's a quick rundown of some recent stuff I've been working on.

Cowtown Cross

Yesterday morning I met Bernie at the Moritz Cowtown Cross. Check out my photos and Bernie's write up here at WestandClear.com.


Gas Drilling Rig near Bluebonnet Circle

Last night I shot some pictures of a gas drilling rig that popped up very close to the Bluebonnet Circle in Fort Worth. Steve-O has a great write-up/confessional that includes some more of my photos at WestandClear.com.

Paul Soter and Jay Chandrashekar

The Lone Star International Film Festival debuted in Fort Worth, and I was running around like a mad man for 5 days shooting pics, attending panels and catching flicks. See more photos and read all the write-ups here.

Gumball, plus some "words" to read


Gumball, originally uploaded by peteg.


I snuck my way into the Cowtown Chronicles' "studio" while Pete W, Steve, Kevin and Bernie recorded episode 12 of the Cowtown Chronicles' Podcast. It's always good to be in the company of such fine gents, and this week's podcast was spirited and informative.


Bernie talked about his recent appearance at a League of Women voters candidate's forum. Bernie is running for District 9 City Council. As a resident of the downtown district, I am one fella that's going to vote for Bernie. He's genuine and direct, a refreshing change from the entrenched, back-slapping crony types that seem to dominate Texas politics. Bernie's got new ideas, he's not afraid to speak his mind, and he genuinely cares about the future of Fort Worth. Check him out at iheartfw.com, or at the next candidates forum, Thursday, 18 October at 7 pm at the Travis Avenue Baptist Church.


Kevin, of Fortworthology.com, rants about the impending Southwest Parkway vs Light/Commuter rail. He's got some right-on analysis, and if you like hearing to a man on the verge, the podcast is worth the listen just for that. And check out his further thoughts on his blog.


Pete W clues us into the Lone Star International Film Festival which will be hitting downtown, et al, Fort Worth next month. I, for one, plan on sipping a beer with Bill Paxton.


Slip the headphones on, and have a listen at the Cowtown Chronicles. Better yet, subscribe via Itunes and catch it every week.


Also, I am kinda retarded and "writing" "words" on my "blog" isn't quite the habit that posting my photos is. It sure would have been a good idea, if yesterday when I posted the photos of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, I mentioned that Tar and I are attending the Modern 'Til Midnight event there on Friday. There's going to be extended hours, live music out in the sculpture garden, some foods, etc. St. Vincent is headlining. This seems to mean a lot to Fort Worthians, but not to me because I haven't gotten clued in. Anyway, it's going to be rad.

Giant Sam Houston Will Mosh You Away

About an hour north of Houston in I-45 is a giant statue of Sam Houston. This is the backup head, just in case, you know....

Ibis with pigeon homies, originally uploaded by peteg.

This freaky looking dinosaur-monster is actually an Ibis. They are almost as common in Australia as pigeons and room the streets, eating refuse and scraps. Although generally friendly, even a bit shy, it was somewhat disconcerting to have such a big bird casually lurking about the busy human world.

What if Main Street, Fort Worth was like this?

What if Main Street in Fort Worth was closed off like this? How wonderful and open it would be? There is an idea that people don't want to walk in Texas because it is too hot, but it's hot in Australia too. Queen Street is closed off the vehicular traffic, making it the central walkway through the CBD (central business district). Our hotel was on Queen St., and I spent hours there people watching and shooting photographs.

Joe and I suit it up at our bro Cliff's wedding. Joe is the dashing lad in the tweed suit, I am the handsome devil in the green shirt. Tar took this picture with my camera.

Seals


Seals, originally uploaded by peteg.

This might be my favorite image from our trip to Australia. UnderWater World offers a "Seal Swim" encounter where folks can hop in the seal tank and play with them. The seals were like playful puppies darting around the kicking and swirling humans. I made this image in "Seal Stadium" which was empty at the time. It was incredibly peaceful.
