Austin skies have been lovely lately. I’ve been doodle crazy lately. There must be a connection.

A few select shots from this last month of 2011. One of my goals for 2012 is to get out and shoot more unique stuff with both my iPhone and my Canon. I’ve never been one to instinctively think to take a picture at the most opportune moment. Instead, these days my brain goes right to the momentary status update, or tweet.

One thing that is so fun about Instagram is that despite not having any zoom or real flexibility with my iPhone camera, I still got to create interesting images through chance encounters, selective cropping and some funky filters. Enjoy.
