Here’s a little blues music for floating the river…
River Run, by Jerod Foster from Jerod Foster on Vimeo.
Each year, I get to co-teach a 15-day photography workshop in Junction, Texas, at Texas Tech University’s satellite campus. Wyman Meinzer and I guide 12 students in to some of the most pristine parts of the state, including areas around Mason, Austin, Utopia, Sonora, Langtry, and further west toward the Big Bend! Much of that time, we spend in the water, sometimes up to our neck, and once or twice, a camera has been dropped (one by yours truly). Not many people beyond the students get to see this river land that we shoot once a year, so I thought I would whip up a quick video to showcase some of the water we so diligently work over with our eyes while we are there during the spring. The rivers we primarily shoot on include the Llano River and the Devil’s River, both of which offer a unique image!
P.S. To see the video in high-definition, just click through and watch it on its Vimeo page.
Enjoy!

Jerod,
It took me a few minutes to figure out who you were, with the beard and longer hair. I knew the name sounded familiar though. You have some great pics of the state. I really like all the river pics. We have a place out in Millsap on the Brazos River, which is my home away from home. I was wandering also if you are in a band? Well gotta get while the gettin’s good, later.
