GuitarTown

Someone recently asked if I was doing any personal photography lately. I hadn't done that much and realized I really needed to. So a couple weeks ago I was reading more about all the guitars set up around town and thought - hey - just for fun, I want to go photograph them. So Sunday afternoon Blanca and I headed downtown to shoot a few of them. There are about 30 all together all over austin and Sunday we shoot about 1/2 of them. We got drizzled on, then it was muggy, the sun came out a while, and for the most part there was a breeze that was nice. And I somehow ordered a $2 bottle of coke. humm.

This was my favorite one I think. I like the blue colors and the downtown scene at the bottom is coolio. Its a bunch of layers of cut out paper and logos.

Here is Sammy in front of it. (isn't she adorable!)

this is in front of The Elephant Room and signed by Marcia Ball. This one was very jazzy and groovy.

This was a cool guitar covered with computer circuit boards or something but what I like even better maybe is the rest of the stuff happening in the picture. On the left side is a police car coming down the street, to the right is a couple walking and then a guy sitting on a bench watching me. I took the picture not looking through the view finder, I had the camera resting on my foot and clicked the shutter from there so I didn't really know what I would get. I took a bunch of the pictures like that. (click on the picture to get a larger view)

A colorful guitar outside the state theater I think. I like the low angle.

Outside of City Hall, oh yea. Love the architecture of the building and this guitar fits well there with its earthtone colors. Nice. The artwork is really cool too.

Outside of Gueros. Groovy. I like all the mosaic work. Must have taken forever to do.

And here's Sammy after downing an iced coffee drink that made her throw up later. Can you tell the caffeine was getting to her. :0)~ It was a fun day and I hope to go shoot some more soon. Isn't Austin GREAT! (more about guitartown at http://www.gibson.com/AustinGuitarTownWebsite/)
