Had lunch the other day with David Manriquez at a favorite secret steakhouse (I'm not telling where it is -I want to find a seat at Saturday lunch!). David is an Independent Film producer who specialty is small documentaries. My friends and I ran into him while we shot pictures in Deep Ellum. David is deep into a documentary on the bridge art in Deep Ellum.

It was fun to talk films and film scene in Toronto, Sundance and Austin.

When the weather starts to moderate, and evening temps begin to fall, there is only one explanation -Texas High School Football!

Okay, maybe not the first thought on every one's mind. But, while some people have a hobby for cars, quilts or music -mine is getting cool shots of football and band. Some, I'll turn into paintings. It began with my daughter marching in the Trinity Trojan Marching Band. Naturally I had to attend the games. I thought I'd hate it! Who wants to watch high school when you can watch the pros? Well, I was wrong. High school football, band, drill and cheer is very cool. And I get a kick out of coming up with great images. It's my hobby, and I'm proud of it.

It gets more complex as the season goes on. Better yet, when was the last time you went back to a game at your high school? It might be more fun than you think! When you went to school, you had a stake in everything that went on. Now you can go for fun!
