And now, dear readers, we interrupt the (apparently) usual house buying conversation with some photography news.
Last weekend, 25+ photographers and myself descended upon a location in the far reaches of south Austin known as Dunvegan Keep.
A gentleman took his rather large backyard and converted it into some prime sort-of medieval themed photography backdrop. There’s all sorts of gorgeous things to shoot people infront of, behind, through and in.
The day of shooting was a success - I spent the majority of the time experimenting with natural light - diffusers, reflectors and several other tricks - and had a great time.
As did the other photographers, from what I’ve heard.
Edit: You can see the rest of the photos here.

Yes, I know it’s misspelled - and no, I don’t care.
Every year, Independence Brewing Co. makes a special beer - Oklahoma Suks Beer. The idea came about last year, when the owner found out an Oklahoma brewery was making a Texas Sucks beer.
(More of the story here.)
I’m yet to find out where to buy any of this beer, but if I find out, I’ll let y’all know.

Today I took a short 70 mile trip for lunch. Destination: Louie Miller BBQ in beautiful downtown Taylor, TX.
I had a side of potato salad, quarter pound of brisket, one link of jalapeno sausage, and one link of chipotle sausage.
The brisket was moist and by itself good - when you added the sauce, it became a slice of heaven.
The potato salad was divine - just enough mustard, perfectly-boiled potatoes and all the right spices.
The pièce de résistance must be the sausage, though. The jalapeno was just the right amount of spice, and the chipotle… oh my - there are no words to describe it. It must simply be experienced.
Rinsed down with copious amounts of freshly brewed ice tea, I don’t know that I could’ve spent the time anywhere better….
