The FOOOOD Issue

I had a REALLY fun month working on the November issue, because its theme was food- something I'm very much a fan of. I was able to photograph delicious things across the city, some of which ran in our "Best of Austin" food feature. The sushi at Roll On Sushi Diner was great, and their menu featured quirky Austin-ified rolls like the Guaca-Rolly. Tasty drinks like the Balcones Prosecco Cocktail from Sagra and our "Best Margarita" pick from Polvo's were also fun to shoot. However, my two favorites for the month have to be my favorite taco from Taco Deli, the cowboy taco, and the delicious mini-pies from trailer-turned-brick-and-mortar shop Cutie Pies.

Icenhauer's

For Austin Monthly's October issue, I shot a cocktail for our "Pour" spotlight at Icenhauer's, a rad bar on Rainey Street. Their custom cocktails all have lady names (yes, there is "The Jennifer," and yes, it's delicious). For the next issue I shot a whole bunch of food, can't wait to post all that!

Manny's Uptown Kitchen

I shot another little food piece for the August issue of Austin Monthly at Manny's Uptown Kitchen, which is a New York-style restaurant and deli (imported H&H bagels, anyone?) with some twists (reuben egg rolls? jalapeno chicken waffles? let's talk later, I'm a bit busy). Everything was pretty delicious and we barely made a dent in their extensive menu.

Baguette et Chocolat

I went and did a quick shoot for Austin Monthly's July issue, a dining spotlight about a newer French Cafe out in the Bee Cave area called Baguette et Chocolat (their website is a little nuts... ok, a lot nuts). Great food AND super close to the office, so plenty of opportunities for a delicious lunch (like today - ham, swiss and tomato crepe, mmmmm).

I haven't been shooting much since I started working at Austin Monthly, so it's nice to get out and take some photographs. I also shot a dining spotlight for the August issue, so I'll post that soon too.

New Orleans Labor Day

Obviously long overdue, but I went to New Orleans over Labor Day Weekend.
