It’s that time of year again! This year’s SXSW lineup has a few great events of interest to photography lovers.
PhotoCamp at SXSW – Presented by Lytro
http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_OE02667
For 2013, we’re excited to join forces with Lytro to present PhotoCamp at SXSW Create. With unique sessions on the evolution of photography, digital asset management and a Photographer Meet Up, you won’t want to miss this very special day.
The Making of a Meme
http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_IAP5874
From Instagram to LOL Cats to Tumblr, few things on the Internet are more tempting than a picture with a sense of humor or a vintage filter. With more content sharing platforms available than ever before, the ability to share, manipulate and copy images without permission or credit has nearly become status quo. How can traditional photography survive in an Internet world? How can paid professional photographers or content creators get the credit they deserve for their work? When does an Internet meme become bigger than copyright? With a blend of traditional photography experts and Internet enthusiasts, this panel will discuss the development of one photography meme – Texts from Hillary — and how the worlds of the State Department, Time Magazine and Tumblr collided. The panel will also discuss how the culture of filtered photos, re-blogging and beyond can change how we tell visual stories.

Creating & Keeping a Kickass Photo Community
http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_IAP6529
Photography is the bread and butter of content. Connecting photographers with a community of other photographers has become one of the most valuable and interesting communities on the web over the past 7 years. Sharing methods, curation and creating safe spaces for conversation are more and more important. In this Dual, Flickr and Lomography will discuss what they’ve done, and where they’re headed next.
From 140 to 0: The Rise in Image-Based Marketing
http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_MP752
Image-based platforms have exploded in the past 18 months, as tumblr, Pinterest, and Instagram change how we view and share items, and dominant services like Twitter and Facebook continue to adjust to meet this shift in consumption patterns. Experts in this space examine best practices and successful campaigns and peek into the future at emerging trends, such as the upcoming explosion in Social Visual Bookmarking platforms, panoramic photography, and augmented reality.
This special session is part of PhotoCamp at SXSW Create.
Media Management and the Creative Process
http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_IAP16111
The way you store, tag and preserve your media is key to the long-term viability of your creative work. And while this is a technical process, it’s also intrinsic to the creative process. If it’s done well, good media management allows you to add structure to your work – whether its a complex single project, or a long-term body of smaller works.
Whether you are working in still photography, video or multimedia production, there are some universal principles that can guide your technical workflow in support of your creative processes. Peter Krogh helps you understand this tangle of interconnected processes, helping to bring clarity, order and efficiency to your media production.
This special session is part of PhotoCamp at SXSW Create.
I started this website in March of 2013 because some NYC art buyer friends said something to the effect of, “I can never find any good photographers in Texas”. Seriously? Austin probably has the highest per capita talented photographers of any city in America. So I started the blog, begged a couple of people to help me write for it, and we produced some really great interviews with photographers, art buyers and photo editors.
As anyone who has started a blog knows, it takes a lot of work to keep one up. It takes good content, constant marketing and a real passion about your subject matter to build an audience. I’ve been lucky to have a team of smart, funny and awesome contributors doing just that.
These contributors are all talented photographers themselves, who already wear more hats than most professionals could imagine. The fact that they take the time out of their busy lives to blog for this site is pretty amazing.
I hope that one day this site will attract advertisers and sponsors. Our site traffic has grown steadily over the last 12 months, and we’ve had some very popular posts that have been shared all over the blogosphere (do people use that word anymore?).
But while I wait for a corporate rep to show up at my house with a wheelbarrow full of cash, I would love to raise enough to help compensate the writers. To that end, I’m excited to announce two new initiatives which I hope make I Love Texas Photo sustainable for many more years to come.
We are now selling fine art prints by Texas-based artists, as well as tote bags, notebooks and other photo-themed goodies. The archival photos are printed by Austin’s own Agave Print and our totes and tees are hand screenprinted by local shop Kong Screenprinting. All print proceeds are split with the artists. It’s a great way to support local artists and have something unique and special on your walls.
Are you interested in selling a print in the store? Please contact us.
Writers Fund
We’ve started a writers fund. All proceeds are go to the contributors. Every little bit helps, plus you get to choose some pretty cool thank you gifts!
Austin-based photographer and educator Eli Reed will be speaking on a panel with Michael Eric Dyson, Paul Farber, Jamel Shabazz, Deborah Willis and Brigitte Freed (wife of famed civil rights photographer and Magnum Photos member Leonard Freed) at the New York Public Library June 5.

This Is the Day: The March on Washington (Getty Publications 2013) presents Magnum photographer Leonard Freed’s visual testimony of the event that culminated in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s prophetic “I Have a Dream” speech. The photographs were chosen from hundreds Freed made in the nation’s capital that day—before, during, and after the march. They present wide-angle views of marchers overflowing the National Mall, group portraits of people straining to see the speakers, and close-ups of individual faces filled with hope and yearning. Accompanying them are an account of the preparations leading up to the march by civil rights activist and author Julian Bond; an introduction to the march by sociology professor and author Michael Eric Dyson; and a discussion of Freed’s approach to the project by scholar Paul Farber.
Copies of the book are available for purchase and signing at the event after the audience Q&A.
This illustrious panel discusses the role photography played during the civil rights movement, the photographic legacy of the march, and how image makers such as Freed have influenced a new generation of photojournalists who continue to use their cameras to raise awareness of social injustices. Special guest Brigitte Freed, widow of Leonard Freed also joins the discussion.
Wednesday, June 5, 2013, 6 – 8 p.m.

A party big enough to do double duty as a fete which honors BOTH Lomography’s 20th birthday and Lomography Austin’s 1st anniversary!
Time sure flies when you’re having fun! Not only have you guys in Austin been kicking analogue ass for a whole year now, but Lomographers world-wide have also been doing so for 20 years! Not being ones to shy from an excuse to party, we’re ramping up festivities to honor both momentous occasions.
We’re not just celebrating us, we’re celebrating YOU, and will debut the winners of our 1st Anniversary Rumble, as well as the final results from our LomoMatrix we shot in October!
In the vein of Lomography’s marriage with Austin, we’ll have goodies from locals at Id Soda, and Sugar Mama’s Bakeshop, open bar from Tito’s Handmade Vodka, and DJ Ben Aqua will be pumping up 90’s jams from the era of Lomography’s birth!
Wear your dancing shoes, and have some cab fare ready in your back pocket. Just in case. We are not fooling around with this one.

Austin-based commercial photographer Eric Doggett was recently commissioned to shoot Adonit’s new “Create” campaign. From Doggett’s blog:
“Adonit is a tech company that makes incredible styluses and keyboards for iPads and iPhones. Their top product, the Jot Touch, connects via Bluetooth, meaning that it gives you pressure sensitivity on the stylus. I got my hands on one and enjoy using it.
The idea with the new campaign is that we are all creators at heart. The imagery is designed to showcase how people are using Adonit’s products in their own creations, regardless of their age/occupation/etc.
I worked with Adonit’s creative team to match each of their products with a use case. We had about 15 different scenario ideas, and we narrowed them down to the 6 shown here. Once each scenario was photographed, we went through various iPad images to decide what worked. It was a lot of fun to help layout each of these scenes, and I’m looking forward to doing more work with Adonit in the future!”
