2012 Year End Review: Top 5 Austin Daily Photos
The most notable photo we took all year long wasn’t even in Austin. It was in Thorndale Texas and it brought us all sorts of unwanted attention from the local constabulary. The owner of Barron’s Hamburger Haven found our picture taking to go against community standards so she phoned in the police who intercepted us in the parking lot. The hair raising tale is told here http://www.scrumptiouschef.com/food/2012/1/23/Dustup-In-Milam-CountyRL-Reeves-Jr-Eats-At-Barrons-Hamburger-Haven-In-ThorndaleAvoids-Jailtime once the local citizenry got wind of her shenanigans her business dried up and she has subsequently closed her doors.
This year our photo journeys took us to Asia, Central Europe, Northern Europe, Mexico and 14 American states. We took a few thousand pictures along the way, mostly using Tumblr. as our sharing service.
