SXSW – Eco Light Garden
The Eco Light Garden at SXSW was pretty cool and offered up lots of interesting photo opportunities.
Austin at Night
This photo was shot in misty conditions while crossing the First Street Bridge on my way from one SXSW event to another.
SXSW – Mophie Rescue Lounge
Possibly the most fun you could ever have at SXSW – the Mophie Rescue Lounge! How can you resist playing tug-of-war with a Saint Bernard puppy or hanging with the crew of Saint Bernards? And to kick it up a notch, they partnered with the Saint Bernard Rescue Foundation. Awesome job Mophie!
SXSW by Night

SXSW by Day

Bee + Art + Tree
This tree was blooming in full on pink blossoms and its vicinity to the modern art sculpture made for some nice photos. The bee was an extra bonus as I made my way along Congress Avenue.
The Frank Frazetta Collection
As part of the SXSW festivities in Austin, Robert Rodriguez has opened up a gallery of Frank Frazetta artwork. They asked for no pictures to be taken once I was inside the gallery, so unfortunately, I didn’t get any photos of the great original art. Below is a copy of one of his prints (the original “Egyptian Queen” was on display and the colors and details were much better in person). You can find more information at several places on the web, including the online Art History Museum. The news is that Robert Rodriguez is planning to direct a live-action relaunch of “Fire and Ice”, the 1983 animated feature by Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta. I’m sure it will be filled with awesome creatures, kind of like the miniature creature that tried to attack me outside the venue. 🙂
Top Austin Model
So, the Whole Foods Market in downtown Austin held a competition for the Top Austin Model this evening. The models were great, the DJ was perfect, and the show was fun. Here are some photos to give you an idea of what went down at this event.
Austin City Hall – The Sights
