Austin Meets LA

Austin and I rode our bikes down to Seven Grand -- I had left my credit card at the bar the night before with my tab open.  Of course because the tab was still open, I ended up leaving a hefty tip against my will.  Anyway, Austin snagged these fotos in Echo Park near my house.

Late Night Gems + Fotos

Austin was in LA for the past three days, and I think we took more photos than we had planned/ever taken before. Skating, product, and random night life were the subjects. For foto nerds out there, Austin brought the Mark 1DS with a 100mm Macro, a 13mm fisheye, and an EF telephoto (100mm-250mm I think). I shoot a 20D with an 18mm-55mm lens. It was a blast shooting something other than a piece of crap stock lens. I took the long lens out in echo park on saturday night and ran into Colin and Cameron. That was sweet. I guess there was a Cool Kids show at the Echoplex. This one of the guy and girl trying to start their little moped is my favorite. Click on it for a larger view - she was pissed. Anyway, here are some of the gems from that night. Enjoy.

Fotos by Austin Curtis from Curtishots. It's embarrassing that this is the first time I have EVER landed this trick - but also goes to show that we are all still learning. Keep your head up.

Austin Is Coming

Beware/Hide your kids:  Austin is coming to L.A.  In other words, to quote Nic Hartcourt, "yall don't know noffing bout vis."

I was about to throw away an old CF card because it's 16 MB and worthless, and thought, "I should just see if anything is on this..." Sure enough, I see Austin's mug all up in my bidness. This was probably taken in '04 when we were working together at the dojo. I can tell by the desk configuration. Work can get sort of boring and it helps to have someone named Austin sitting next to you to keep you going.
