You've Just Time-Traveled to Vanishing Austin

What's old is new again, but sadly, what's old is often ripe for sacrifice. Here's my homage to Austin's irresistible scenic gumbo -- Vanishing Austin, my on-going photography project that records the Austin I first fell in love with, and sounds a visual alarm to what we stand to lose in the face of potentially insensitive development. My images of Austin in transition contrast the often-contradictory beauty of the old juxtaposed against the new. Visit VanishingAustin.com to view a slide show of the series.
