I was recently interviewed for KERA’s website. They have a video blog feature on Dallas artists and their studios, and I guess I was important enough to make the cut. You can see the entire piece here:
Baby portraits…
Yes, I book an occasional baby portrait. I don’t JUST shoot rock stars. I’m a big family man and I love my boys. Why wouldn’t I enjoy a few baby photo sessions every now and then?!?
Cloudy moon…
I snapped a couple pics of the moon the other night. It was going in and out of the clouds and looked kind of cool. Not the best moon picture ever captured, but I thought it was nice enough to share.
My fellow photogs…
Texas Grammy nominations…
Texas musicians have racked up a bunch of Grammy nominations this year. In honor of one of this year’s nominees – Roy Hargrove – I am posting an old picture I took of him…
Art Conspiracy 5…
I will be participating with 149 other artists and several bands on December 12, as part of ArtCon 5. You can watch a video interview about the event here:
John Popper…
Almost ten years…
December 14, 1999 was the first shoot I did for The Dallas Morning News. It has been almost exactly ten years, and they’ve been a pretty awesome client. I’ve learned so much through those ten years and done so much. I think I need to track down a copy of that first assignment and share it. It was some restaurant in Hillsboro, if I remember correctly.
The other website…
Not sure if I mentioned this lately or not… I recently moved my music, band, rock and roll photography website to a new domain name. I’m going to use www.janikphoto.com with a PH in photo for my editorial and corporate work portfolio from now on. I am still working on that website, so you STILL see a temp page online. I just rotates through some pics and gives my contact info. I really need to get that new site built.
