Last Friday was Fair Day here in New Braunfels, TX. All of the schools had a half day and the city hosted the county parade. It was my first time experiencing a parade in Texas and it was quite a site. For one thing, the parade was 2 hours long! The second thing that had […]

Last weekend I visited the First Annual Texas Grape Stomp Off at the Vintage Oaks community. I’ve never attended a stomp off so I was really interested in what happened.

I was invited to drive down to San Antonio on Wednesday to hang out with Brian Hancock, another cool photographer in the area. Brian also does some sweet re-designs for Blogger blogs. We went to a nice sushi and thai place called Mon Thai and I had some good chicken panang.
