Austin is home to many incredible limestone cliffs and canyons along its Greenbelts. The only thing more captivating than the beauty of it all, is the people who climb there. In Austin the climbing community is strong. Never climbed before? No problem. There always seems to be an advanced climber willing to walk you through your first climb. At the same time, the more advanced help each other figure out routes they might be having a difficult time with. Out on the Greenbelt no one is a stranger, instead you are part of the climbing community here in Austin. They are a group of compassionate and considerate people who are always willing to help one another out.
Above is climber and EMT cadet, Ty. When a young climber nearby took a bad fall, he and a couple of his colleagues kicked into high gear and used the useful skills they picked up through the academy. Ty was able to keep the fallen climber calm while stopping the bleeding from the head injury and stabilizing her until the ambulance arrived for transport. Ty is one of the many compassionate climbers of this incredible community here in Austin.
Good luck tiring this guy out. Einstein hails from San Antonio but whenever he visits Austin he can’t resist Town Lake. Fresh air, miles of trail, and belly flops into the water, it’s no wonder he can’t get enough!
The Aztex were Austin’s professional soccer team from 2008-2010. During those two seasons, the Aztex qualified for the US Open Cup once and finished second in their last regular season. Along with head coach, Adrian Heath, they are moving to Orlando, Florida to become the Orlando City Lions.
As a fan and a photographer thanks for two exciting and fun-filled seasons. Farewell and best of luck in your new soccer home.
In the words of Mario Lemeiux, “Every day is a great day for hockey”. If you have ever been to a Texas Stars game you would agree. You can check out their schedule by clicking Texas Stars Hockey.
Meet Chuck and Mango. They truly exemplify Austin with their laid back attitudes. Here they are taking in the sights, sounds (and smells) of this amazing city.
What better way to kick off my site than with puppies!?! I don’t know about you, but I sure am a sucker for those cute four-legged creatures.
I had the wonderful opportunity of shooting at one of the larger (no pun intended) Great Dane meet-ups in the area. There I met the sweetest girl, Cheyanne. I think she really enjoyed posing for the camera. I know I enjoyed capturing a really sweet moment for her owners to enjoy over the years.
