Mea Culpa Austin

You can’t post a picture of an Aggie Groom’s Cake on an Austin photography blog without bringing the planets back into alignment. So, a bit of some UT themed material, perhaps? OK!

I did a wedding at a country club that had its own resident longhorn (in the background) and longhorn friend. Shooting this beautiful bovine was obligatory, and with a wide-angle lens was down right mandatory. There is this great story tied to this shot and if we ever meet in person I will be glad to tell it. In short, it involved another photographer trying to imitate me and a resultant very gooey lens :) The longhorn in the background was somewhat shy, so no super close shots of that guy.

This was the result of a long night alone while my wife was on call at the hospital, a lot of light, some incense, beers, confused cats, and a bit of photoshop. Done as a gift for a friend that takes his college football VERY seriously. For Sale, too.

September 25, 2009 - 10:08 am YoYo - THIS is why you are my buddy! The incense photo always gets extra attention, and close inspection, when someone sees my UT room for the first time. On the way to the wife's grandmothers house south of town we have discovered two beautiful longhorns with some rather impressive racks. Next time my buddy is up here I will be sure to show them to him. Thank for bringing balance back to the planet with this post Eric!
