Valo4Life Video Premiere

Blader's from all over Texas got together for the release of a badass skate video. Valo4Life. Blader's came to Austin all the way from Laredo, Houston, Tyler and Lewisville.
Here are some of the Up-and-Comers in the Texas blading scene.








We hit up some bars after and got a little rowdy...



Thanks to Keaton and Brian for for putting this event together and giving us all a reason to get together to share our love and passion for rollerblading...

Swag Video Premiere

So, my final project for my college video production class was a rollerblading documentary. I am so glad I decided to do it on that subject because i met a wonderful new world of people. People with ambitions, drive, heart and dedication. Its a world of blood and sweat, where you go big or go home. 

I got a pretty in-depth look at this group of people and they have really made an impact on my life...

SWAG is a stake film that I was lucky enough to have a clip in and I also got mentioned in the credits! There was a pretty big turn out with skaters from all over Texas. 



  
Above is a picture of a real up and comer on the Texas Rollerblading scene, Mason. And this kid is still in high school and is one of the best.

  <--- Zane here has been doing some big stuff trying to get sponsors for local events. 



 <---- Here is one of the skaters fetured in the video, Dench. he is also one of the main resaons I was able to complete my video. He really became a great friend and is going to 







Eagle Eye Williamson

 So, every Wednesday, there is this one-man-band that plays at Club DeVille. And let me tell you, this guy can fucking rock! He buys a keg and there is a $5 cover and you can drink till the keg is gone... It's pretty tight..

I think in this picture, you can feel the passion put into Eagle Eye's music. This picture just screams rock star!





 He has made gold vinyl records!!!! I just think these just look badass and the quality of the sound is sooo much better than a cd... just saying...

All of the artwork on the albums is custom made by Eagle Eye himself! He dose all the screen printing using old album covers and layering them on top of each other. He also sells guitar slides that he makes from the necks of whiskey bottles. 

If you haven't heard of Eagle Eye Williamson, get out from the rock you've been hiding under. You can hear is for yourself every Wednesday at Club DeVille on Red River in between 9th and 10th.
Who doesn't like free beer and rock and roll?

Who am I you might ask...


Hi! 

Im Juli Applewhaite. I have been shooting for... i don't know how long but I'm am pretty proud to be able to call myself a professional photographer. 

I think one of the best ways to get to know me is to see how I view this world. So i figured i would show you some of my work that I believe best describes who I am... and here it is!






<----- Im from a wonderful city... Austin F@#%*&! Texas..
This building is the reason my family moved to this area and I can't drive past it without thinking of them and remembering how grateful I am...








<---- I am a graduate of Concordia University.
This fine establishment is where I learned how to make the passion of my life a reality...

The man in the picture is my boyfriend of almost 3 years... He was the only person besides my immediate family that cam to my graduations. He has supported me in everything I have ever wanted to do and I hope he knows how grateful I am to have him in my life!




<----This is my dog, or as i like to call him my son, Dennis the Menace! I involve him in every aspect of my life. I don't know what i would do without the little son of a gun...

<---- I chose to surround myself with people that are willing to take the risk to bring their dreams to reality... bringing positive energy into the lives of those around me is very important and I chose to have those I have around me do the same...





<---- I also try to make the best of every situation and have fun no matter where I am or who i'm with... Even when I'm in the middle of nowhere...












If there is anything else you want to know, just ask...
