Big Dallas Photographs!!!

With the Mayor's Convention happening in Dallas this year, mayors from all around the country will be in North Texas.  As part of the conference, they'll be shuttled around the city to see what Dallas has been doing right.  One of the most popular advertising/PR campaigns for the city has been the recent "Big Things Happen Here" push, with tons of people participating on Instagram and Facebook.  

The campaign has also included billboards, newspaper ads, television spots, as well as cards and brochures like the one above.  I'm so excited one of my photos was used as part of the campaign!  It's great how the city is pulling together like this!  Now, if they'd just use one of my pics for a bus or billboard spot... that would be even better!

Sudie in the Dallas Observer...

It was a lot of fun getting the chance to photograph Dallas musician Sudie for the Dallas Observer cover recently.  I was worried the weather wasn't going to cooperate, as it looked like some heavy rain was going to come down that morning.  Luckily, the bad weather cleared away right before we started shooting at White Rock Lake.
