Shiner Ride May 8, 2012

The Shiner G.A.S.P. Ride is an annual 100 mile long ride from Austin to Shiner, Tx. It’s a fun ride that raises thousands for the United Way and it ends at the Shiner Brewery for a big party. Sandy Carson went out on the ride this year and sent back this report…

No Country For Spandex April 24, 2012

Our own Sandy Carson is just back from a trip out to far West Texas. He wrote up a little journal post…

This road is featured in the movie 'No country For Old Men', but where does it end?

Just been out to the West Texas desert last week, for a couple of photo assignments in Marfa and Marathon.  Of course, having time to kill, I had to take the road bike and take advantage of the epic rides and cinematic scenery there.

Fairdale Team News: Sandy Carson Just Do It project April 16, 2012

Sandy has a little write up over on Feature Shoot.com about his on going cat trapping series.

I love to tease Sandy about being a crazy cat person but in reality he’s just a nice guy who wants to save kitties from a life on the streets.

Read more about what he’s up to (and marvel at some telling photos) here.

Fairdale friends news April 2, 2012

Fairdale friend Ryan Worcester is helping some kids out with a skatepark. Looks like a really cool program. The kids get to learn how to run the park, maintain the park and of course have fun at the park. There’s a little video on the kickstarter page that’s worth a watch here.

Sandy Carson launched an entirely rebuilt website. It’s pretty amazing with in depth looks at some of his projects. I especially like (and am disturbed by) the “Just Do It” project feed that the photo above is from. Check out Sandy’s work here.
