Hibachi!
I would like to say I thought of this idea ahead of time but it just so happened I was at dinner and thought “Oh my gosh, this week’s assignment is fire! This is perfect!” Unprepared I quickly grabbed my little digital camera as the chef set the onion on fire and this what I got.
Check out this locust shell I found outside. There’s a life cycle video on the wiki page. It’s creeeepy!
3 seconds left to cross West 3rd St. Hurry!
This week’s photo challenge was the hardest so far. Taking a picture of yourself is just awkward. I’m much more comfortable behind the camera but an assignment is an assignment so here ya go.
I spy something green.

I had quite the touristy day in Austin. I went to Mount Bonnell(the highest point in Austin, 775ft.), walked around the capitol building(constructed from 1882-88) and watched the bats fly out from under the Congress St. bridge(1.5 million bats to be exact). After the bats were done, the crowd began to disperse and I was left with the Austin skyline, perfect for my night-time assignment. I decided to play around this time. I experimented with long exposures and the zoom effect. The results were interesting…can’t wait to try it out again.

Which do you prefer, in or out??
Spring is here!
