Eight Years in Texas!


 

...It was the summer of 2007 
I had just returned 
from my second trip to Israel...



I decided to move from my childhood home state of California and move to....

My new life began in the beautiful city of Austin...

This is the first photo I took in Texas! 


Austin is the Live Music Capital of the WORLD
What better place for a musician like me?! 


Here are some photos from my first few years in the #ATX











(for more photos from Austin please visit my links below!) 


I called Austin my home for about three years and during that time the city began to grow (upwards and in population) and many new buildings were constructed. It was a city changing every day and this mirrored events in my own life. Then, in 2010 I moved to...

I was seeking stability and consistency in my life and San Antonio with it's rich history, a skyline that has not changed for years, and a resilient economy provided a healthy and fertile soil for me to put down roots.

When I first moved to San Antonio I had only been to the Alamo City once and didn't know anything about it except what everyone seems to know: Remember the Alamo? and the Riverwalk...

Here's some photos from my first visit to Downtown San Antonio!





I was determined to get to know the city of San Antonio and began by spending my first week in the city exploring, going to the different parts of town, touring all of the museums and famous places, and after starting my new job, spent all of my days off driving around, continuing to explore, and I sought out the beautiful, hidden gems, and cultural spots in the city. What I found, was that San Antonio is one of the most inspirational cities with it's organic production of stunning art, music, fashion, entrepreneurship, and culture! 

Here are some photos from my many trips
 exploring San Antonio these past 5 years...
