"After 4 Massages"

Over the Shoulder Cowboy Hat Holder

Maybe it's because I'm from Texas, but I think a cowboy hat makes a terribly sexy accessory, especially when it shades a set of eyes like this:

Do Images Escape You?

The images that surround us escape...If we don't capture them.

I like to capture, contort and coax.

Holiday Party Photos

I have been so busy for the last week. Not enough to sleep, eat and blog. I have been shooting a number of parties around town and am sharing some of my more recent shots.

These are all from a party at the The Driskill Hotel in Downtown Austin. I will be reviewing the hotel, food, amenities and staff on Roxy's Best Of blog very soon.

It was an evening filled with food, drinks, dancing and smiles as big as Texas.

Oh...and hand-rolled cigars.

That Dino sure knows how to throw a party.

Merry Motorcycle

I found this great sled in front of the Christmas Red Door Soirée.

There is something magical about motorcycles.  

Merry Motorcycle!

Rockstar Dreams

Creation Cannot be Contained

stone by stone, pavement consumes. 

swallowing what we know,

swallowing what we need.

layer upon layer, webs of contact

promising food, freedom, safety.

the promise becomes the problem.

stone by stone, pavement consumes. 

swallowing what we know,

swallowing what we need.

poles shift. the universe shrinks

and folds on itself,

connecting reason and rhyme

stripped, layer by layer.

creative energy and love sprout

food, freedom and safety.

sprout by sprout, pavement is consumed.

creation cannot be contained 

and provides what we need.

Well of Joy

I look into the pool and am transported--

Mountains, rainbows, trees, and you.

Drops tumble and crash; creating mist--

Ethers that allow our lifetimes to touch

Beet flowers, beauty and dreams--

My soul recognizes you in any form.

Dragonfly

Sunshine Settles Sticky

Breathing, brushing, hoping

Darkness and shadows until

Sight and integration fade

Sushine settles sticky

Like honey crust

On cave walls

Revealing rivers of DNA

spanning the face

of this muslin planet

Slowing to still

Hanging on the

Edge of creation

Dream Walking

Fall Breeze in the Sun

The Wine Glass

Gathering in the Cool

Between the Tracks

I took this as we wandered around the East side last weekend.  This is a shot taken from an ant's perspective on the railroad tracks near 5th & Martinez or 5th & San Marcos.

Either way, I love the lighting and how it brought out the colors of the stone.

Astral Orchestra

My friend Sage is the inspiration for this piece called "Astral Orchestra".

The original photo is of her fire dancing at my wedding. I envision her directing an orchestra of universal energy.
