I had the pleasure of capturing images of this young artist Alix Camo at her debut performance recently. A songwriter and talent creating work with insight, vulnerability, and confidence of an aged, seasoned artist. Gifted with talent and great role models, expect to hear more from Alix Camo in the near future.

Delightful performance by Kevin Morby and company at kathy stubbs on Saturday night for the final performance of the North American leg of his "Little Wide Open" tour.

"Kevin Morby’s strength lies in his ability to underscore his own emotional dystopia wrought with painful self awareness and vulnerability, while clinging on to middle America nostalgia, puncturing that world with the beautiful joys of being human in the midst of it all..."

2.23.26: Seven:

 “If you’re not living in the conversation of your existence, what fate have you accepted for yourself?” - M

All this morning as I went through my routine of stretching, breathing, and meditating, my oldest dog Burt stayed by my side, licking my hands and adjusting to my movements as I went through all of my motions, to stay close by. By Burts’s standards, not usual behaviour. Burt has seen the worst of me and the best of me. 

This is me at 7 years old. 7 years was a lifetime then. Imagine that. What does 7 years look like to you these days? I guess that depends on the context. 

7 years ago, I made a drastic change to how I wanted to live my life. 

I decided that I wanted to do my best to be a better person every day. All you can do is try. We are an evolutionary species that is part of an evolutionary universe. Evolving is what we do. 

I’ve tried to live by some simple rules over these past 7 years:

Learn something new every day. 

100 percent honesty

Every day is a new opportunity to make change

Don’t fear the unknown. That’s where the magic happens. 

I think Burt was trying to tell me something this morning. I think I got the message.

8:30 am this morning and I'm enjoying the sun on my face, as well as the fact that my mood has shifted 180 degrees overnight. It may not look like it, but I'm loving being me right now. The past week had been heavy, for whatever reasons. The world, the inescapable news cycle, the fact that a numeral was shifting on my chronological age, watching humans get duped into an endless cycle of dugital dopamine hits, who knows, but it sucked.

I spent the past couple of days in the company of old and dear friends, pushing my emotions to the side and doing my best to put on a brave face. But it wasnt until I was asked to reflect on, by a special friend last night, what I was proud of the most over the 365 previous days that had past, did I realize what a special life I have. It's not fancy, but its real. The people i surround myself with are real. I've done things I never dreamed of doing 10 years ago. I'm not winning awards or cashing big checks, but that's not the point. I've challenged myself and actually made stuff I'm proud of, while meeting amazing new humans along the way.

As I watched the delightful performance of one of favorite local artists, I took a moment to take a hard look at myself, and wonder how I got here, to this place that can be so mentally challenging and rewarding all the same. Im not the only one that feels this way, was my realization, and that is the hard truth.

Today is a new day...

Dusted off the live music photo skills and stepped into Free Week for a minute. Great to see good friends and some fine representations of some of Austin's best local talent.
