It's been one year in Austin. On this day, last year, we packed our bags and started the drive from L.A. to Austin. I'm still discovering this city and the surrounding areas with my camera, but so far, I'm realizing... it's a great place to live.

The compilation: Formula One Grand Prix, Pennybacker bridge, the beautiful oak trees, downtown Austin, the swimming holes (straight out of a Huckleberry Finn book), Mueller park, the changing seasons (well, compared to L.A ), sunrise on Lake Travis, Blanton art museum, downtown Austin, snow, my favorite swimming hole.

My photography series... "The Architecture of Austin Freeways" and this specific photo... is a finalist in the CitiesToBe photo award. This definitely made my evening. https://www.citiestobe.com/photoaward/

My Museum of Words photography series is in the digital Bokeh Bokeh Magazine, a photography magazine based out of San Francisco. The link: https://bokehbokeh.photo/article/cetywa-powell-museum-of-words_1

My photo gets an honorable mention in the street photography section of the MonoVisions Photography Awards. Perfect way to start a Sunday. https://monovisionsawards.com/winners-gallery/monovisions-awards-2019/show/3577
