What an awful gig, I thought – photographing a friend and her cats. And then I remembered that I like friends, and I like cats, so I graciously accepted. You can check out the January issue of Rare online (page 62!) or throughout our fair city in the time-tested and always classy printed format. BTW, the orange guy’s name is Cowboy, but I’m not sure about the other one…what can I say, I’m partial to the orange ones.

For those unfamiliar with the Wedding Photojournalist Association, it’s a collection of some of the most talented wedding photographers in the world, so a first place finish is quite an honor. If you take a look at some of the other winners, even just in the same category, you’ll see that they come from all over: second place – Singapore, third place – NYC, fourth place – NYC, fifth place, Poland, etc., etc., etc. Wow. I highly recommend taking a look through all of the categories, there’s some amazing stuff! Thanks so much to Amy, Gerald, and Hotel Saint Cecilia!

In other related news…the October issue of Rare magazine hit the streets today in Austin, and Amy & Gerald’s wedding is featured on pages 88, 94 & 95, along with my photos from East Side Show Room on pages 56 through 59. Check check check it out!
