It’s always nice to see work in print and this week a big box of freshly printed Austin Event 2012 calendars came from my friends at Big Weekend.

We spent part of the last 11 months planning and shooting scenes around the Austin area that are different from the typical boring stock photos that a ‘city’ calendar would normally have. Memorable moments include sliding off an ice-covered road in an attempt to photograph an actual wintry scene (this one didn’t pan out), and the metal-art-picnic-table image was made during the hottest part of the hottest day of the year at 112 °F. The benches were made of steel, there was literal rump roast. I was sure nobody would actually show up for that, but free beer saved the day once again.
The cool thing about these calendars is that there are hundreds of things already scheduled out for your planning delight, including lesser-known events like the Hairy Man festival. Why didn’t we shoot that one? Ah right, it’ll be on your wall for a month…
