As my friend Tazz Taz says, “you have purple trees in Austin.” Yes, we do! While shooting the Trail of Lights, I was enamored with this particular tree. It was quite large and I loved the way it was bathed in this purple light, so I wound up shooting it a bunch. I basically planted myself in front of it, stood there, and shot it for a while. Not how I was expecting to shoot the Trail of Lights but, sometimes anyway, you get what you didn’t come in for, right?
