ON THE GO Photo from Counter Cafe. What are your favorite spots to go for lunch with friends? I’m in love with Launderette for happy hour, dinner and brunch. For lunch, I’ve been loving the Counter Cafe (photo left) on East 6th lately. What about a favorite for date night dinner? Justine’s Brasserie. What are the top places to listen to live music in Austin? addicted to music that I stayed in Austin. Shooting portraits, editorial, album covers and touring with bands followed soon after. I loved it and still do. When the first ACL Fest came about, the owners of Stubb’s asked me to shoot the festival. That grew into my current position as photo director at C3 Presents. I love feeling the energy that comes along with live music. It’s an addiction. The day I stop shooting music is the day my legs don’t work anymore.  Photo from Cactus Cafe. My most current project is shooting and working as the photo director for the festivals that C3 Presents produces all over the country (and some internationally). It’s crazy, but it’s a blast.  Austin is changing, and many great venues have unfortunately closed in the last few years. I love to see shows at Mohawk, Stubb’s, ACL Live at the Moody Theater, The Continental Club, The Saxon Pub, Cactus Cafe (photo below) and Sahara Lounge. SEPTEMBER OCTOBER 2015 43
