If you're keeping up with us lately, you've probably noticed our keen affection for photography over the last few weeks. With last weekend's opening party of our current Photo Show exhibit at M2 Gallery, and today's DirtyFeet introspective, we can't seem to get enough of these snap happy shutterbugs. Today, we're coming to you from Sin City. Our mission: tailing Houston-based Music Photographer, Mark Austin (a.k.a. MCA Photo). Austin has graciously invited Houstonist along to......

Alright, we know it is almost the middle of September and we are only just now releasing our September iMix, but what can we say, we were getting ready for our wildly successful photo show...besides this month's iMix is worth the wait. There is some great new music from Josh Ritter and one of Houstonist's favorites Lyle Lovett. Other tunes from Camera Obscura, The Magic Numbers, and Brazilian Girls give this iMix some international......

Well, now that you mention it, yes: The show's on display now at M2 Gallery in the Heights, and the opening reception is 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday at the gallery. Which brings us to our point: If you picked up this week's Houston Press, you might have noticed the listing for the show in the Night & Day section. It's amazing — including a big......

The best part about a 3 day weekend: A 4 day work week. Bonus! So happy Tuesday. The weekend's just around the corner. After visiting the HCP last week for the SPIN Party, we realized just how little we visit this art space, considering all the great programs they offer. Like First Tuesday! Yes, we are THAT excited it's Tuesday. First Tuesday provides an opportunity for local photographers and media-based artists to share their work......

What are you doing Saturday night? Whatever your plans are, do your best to swing by M2 Gallery in the Heights and check out 600 sq mi: Photos from Houston, Houstonist's first-ever photo show.

The smoking ban goes into effect on Saturday morning at midnight. Ring in the new era with Houstonist as we get together on Friday night to celebrate Houston's birthday, which is actually today. We're cranking up things at State Bar at 6 on the o'clock and want you to be there. You'll probably hear a lot from our opinionated staff about booze, politics, 600 sq mi (our photo show), live music, bar food and......

A few months ago, we announced our first-ever photo show, 600 sq mi: Photos from Houston. The idea was to give photographers, both professional and soon-to-be professional, a chance to show us (and you) what they see when they look at Houston. So we set things up with MSquared Gallery in the Heights, put out a call for entries and crossed our fingers. Well, it turns out the response was even better than we......

VIEWER'S CHOICE EDITION So tell us what you want, what you really, really want. Since the announcement that England's favorite fabulous five will be reuniting, we've been unable to concentrate on our weekend plans. With so much drama in the HOU, it's kinda hard figuring out what we should do. So we need your help. (in so many ways). Leave your comment as to what YOU think WE should do tonight. Here are our top......

OK, folks, this is it: the last day to enter 600 sq mi: Photos from Houston, Houstonist's photo show. Have you entered yet? Have all your friends? There's still time — but not a whole lot of it.

If you're tired of hearing about 600 sq mi: Photos from Houston, Houstonist's first-ever photo show, we're sorry — go back to what you were doing. But if you're a photographer, amateur or professional, and you haven't entered the show yet, now's your chance. 600 sq mi is a juried exhibition of photos from Houston. We're leaving it up to you guys to figure out what that means: skyscrapers, trees, people, neighborhoods, art, freeways,......

Our bloggers were fairly single-minded this week. We saw a lot of posts on the same couple of topics, but each one had its own distinctive style. Let's take a look at what's hot in the Houston blogosphere this week: Playoffs, anyone? The Rockets are getting ready, and the bloggers are fired up. Globetrotter is getting ready with their "I Urban Houstonian took a more classic approach, with an analysis of each team's chances,......

Today’s Photo of the Day comes from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor The Fuzzball. Spring is here and according to this photo's caption, "The mockingbirds are getting very nervous about their nests now that it's springtime!" Which is true and it's no fun being on the receiving end of an overprotective mockingbird! They'll buzz right over you, even going as far as attempting to peck at you to shoo you away from their......

Houstonist has known for a long time that there are a lot of talented professional photographers in this city. But what we didn't really realize — until we started the Houstonist flickr group about a year ago, that is — was how many incredible amateur/semi-pro photographers we have around here, too. We're constantly amazed by the images we see, both on- and offline, and a while back we started thinking to ourselves, "Wouldn't it......
