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

waiting by Mike "Sully" Sullivan

For half of my life in Austin, I have lived on the east side--my side--of town. Town Lake sunrises and swans. Breakfast at Mi Madre & Cisco's. Town Lake, fishing and sketching in a blue canoe. Organic produce, eggs, and smoked-dried tomatoes from Boggy Creek Farms. Hoover's, Eastside Cafe, Mueller's and Sam's BBQ, Azteca. Frontyard gardens. Shadetree mechanics. Bluebonnet patches. Austin's history - in graveyards grandiose and humble. Baseball. Blue Theater, Vortex, Off Center. I just photographed what I see every day.

Beauty is truth, truth beauty, That is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
