Hanging in the Smithsonian!

Well, it's official! I'm proud to announce that soon, I will be able to say my work is hanging in the Smithsonian Castle on the National Mall in Washington D.C. 

This image was selected to hang in the "Editors' Picks: The Best of Smithsonian Magazine's 7th Annual Photo Contest." From July 1st through February 2011! 

Dear Mr. Hunt, 

I am pleased to inform you that your photograph was chosen for display in the upcoming exhibit, "Editors' Picks: The Best of Smithsonian Magazine's 7th Annual Photo Contest." The exhibit, which is currently in production, showcases 30 of the 50 finalists from Smithsonian Magazine's 7th Annual Photo Contest. It will be on view from July 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011 in the first floor of the Smithsonian Castle on the National Mall in Washington DC. 

Last year, more than one million visitors viewed our previous exhibit, and likely, a million more will view your image this year. 

Congratulations on a job well done. 

They didn't mention anything about cash, so I'm guessing I didn't win the prize money for my category. But, to be honest... although cash is nice, being selected for this show was all I was really after. :-)

Hoola girl at Eeyore's Birthday 2010

Hoola girl at Eeyore's Birthday 2010

The audio track is a recording I did during an annual Austin, Texas party celebrating Eeyore’s Birthday 2010. The recording walks up to a spontaneous drum circle, enters and weaves around capturing various sounds and homemade instruments.

I shot the hoola girl diggin' beats in this source video at the same event.

Feel free to SHARE!

For your pleasure...

High-End Bars starting to curate local artists? Yes!!!

I had this idea awhile back, but it looks like a local firm is actually doing it now, ie. using high-end bar plasmas as "curated galleries" of local artists. I made this slideshow to be played in a soon-to-be-open tequila bar in downtown Austin.

For your pleasure...
