So as you probably already can tell I’m just not keeping up with this blog. I’m spending most my time on Tumblr and update that pretty frequently. I haven’t decided to do away with this blog just yet though. In the meantime I leave you with an image from my farm series that I’ve been working on. You can see more of the series here.

I’m shooting a big commercial shoot over the next two weeks with some of Austin’s finest dog and cats. I can’t talk about the end product just yet but you can check out some behind the scenes shots on my Instagram. Follow along at: instagram.com/nicolemlakar
 Wishing all of you lovely people a very happy holiday!
 I photographed the cover and feature for the December issue of Austin Monthly. The feature focuses on the Austin craft beer scene. So we shot some great local breweries, bars and brewpubs around town. We had a lot of ground to cover for this feature and the final layout looks incredible. Special thanks to our featured friends at Live Oak, 512 Brewing Company, Thirsty Planet, Jester King, Hopfields, Draught House, NXNW and Black Star Co-Op. Tear sheets below along with my favorite outtakes from the assignment and a little story about our cover guy Drew Durish!
Here’s a little side story about our absolutely amazing cover guy. I originally photographed Drew Durish at Live Oak when we were shooting for the feature. As our deadline came near we knew we needed a really striking and fun guy to pull off the cover concept and I immediately thought of Drew. I just remembered that great smile, those sparkly eyes and that sweet, sweet beard. Luckily, Drew is the nicest guy ever and agreed to let us photograph him for the cover. Thanks Drew for making one hell of a great cover!
 Paula Foore, of Springdale Farm, told me that they would be hosting a Homegrown Revival Thanksgiving dinner this year. She thought it might be a really great event to add to my documentary series on Springdale Farm. Paula couldn’t have been more right and I was thrilled to bear witness to this amazing event. Homegrown Revival produces dinners, utilizing “locally sourced produce and proteins,” that bring together the community in a “festive atmosphere.” Chef Sona Coté and Outfitter Tink Pinkard were at the helm of this dinner and it was absolutely amazing to watch all of the collaborative efforts among the Homegrown Revival crew. There was such thoughtfulness surrounding not only the food preparation and cooking but the ambiance, mood and festivities. Add to that a perfectly cool Texas November evening and you have the recipe for a Thanksgiving dinner unlike any other.
