Facing East : 48 hours in the life of East Austin - return to the exhibit

hobby: girls by Joel Nihlean

Joel Nihleen is a twenty year old photojournalism major at the University of Texas Austin. He has been taking photographs since the age of seventeen when he signed up to take a little high school photography course as a "blow-off" to make an "easy A". That class turned out to become a career choice. In the photos Joel takes he tries to encompass everything, simple snapshots of life, the human condition, vibrant action shots of the live music in Austin, and in-camera illusions. He is not much for bragging about past accomplishments, but is always willing to show and sell his work.
