Texas State Capitol Rotunda, originally uploaded by David A G Wilson.

I attended a rather interesting and fun event this part Thursday. Trey Ratcliff, of Stuck in Customs fame organised a photowalk in downtown Austin and 160 people showed up. It was a bit of a zoo – tripods everywhere – but we had a great time. I’m pretty sure the State Troopers at the Capitol thought some kind of invasion was underway!

One of the challenges Trey handed out was to take your best photo of the Capitol yet. While I’m pretty sure this isn’t my best (you can see others here and let me know if you agree), it is definitely my favourite monochrome shot of the interior of the rotunda.

One of the other great benefits of the get-together was a chance to meet several Flickr photographers who I have been in touch with online for quite a while but have never actually bumped into in person. Among the list were Alex Suarez and Brandon Watts not to mention Trey himself.
