Are you ready for some High School Football?

Its that time of the year again.  When the kids spend hours getting ready for what is really important in life.  High School Football.....I jest, but in Texas, High School Football is a religion to some.  There is a reason that Friday Night Lights (TV Series) was filmed in and around Austin, Texas.  With much of the game footage being shot in Pflugerville.

I am back in action as well. I will be shooting at two football games this week. I will be covering a game in Bastrop on Thursday and will be out in west Austin on Friday.

Monster Movies

So last Monday, I watched a Classic Monster Movie double-header using Netflix streaming.

The Mummy (1932) with Boris Karloff and Dracula (1931) with Bela Lugosi. Two great classic Black and White monster movies with two iconic actors.


I really love both of these movies. They do a great job of standing the test of time. And I am wanting that The Mummy poster for my wall.

One thing I never noticed before is that they both have The Stare.  Where they try to impose their will on a hapless victim. Not sure which is more creepy.

Instagram links not ready for prime time

I am not sure where the issue lies but it would appear that the instagram links to photos are not quite ready for prime time. They do look really nice when they work however. Kind of give an old Polaroid look to the photos. But they sometimes take several seconds to come up or not at all requiring a page refresh. Not sure how much I will use them instead of using some other method. Would be nice to upload once and use that location for all other activities.

Little instagram test

Instagram now allows you to post a little snip-it of HTML into your Blog/Webpages. I am curious to what it may look like.  It took me a couple tries but I was able to find a height and width that worked.  I took this photo a couple weeks ago at the Zilker Botanical Gardens.
