It's been three years (!) since the last Texas Photo Roundup, an event that I co-produced for four years with the talented, hard-working photographers Kimberly Davis and Matthew Mahon. Would I ever do it again? Well, I'm not sure. It's a TON of work but also incredibly satisfying work. Bringing together art buyers, photo editors and photographers from around the country was an amazing experience that reminded me of why I love the photo community.

Over the four years we produced a wide variety of events, including workshops, portfolio reviews, lectures, gallery talks and silent auctions.

Photographers who spoke or taught included:

Dan Winters
Chris Buck
Wyatt McSpadden
Stephanie Rausser
Andy Anderson
Randal Ford
Larry Fink

Portfolio Reviewers included esteemed professionals from a wide range of ad agencies, magazines, and museums, including:

AFAR
BBDO

Charles Schwab

Esquire
Food Network

In February, 2014 Stephanie Rausser taught 2, two day workshops at the Texas Photo Roundup in Austin, Texas. The workshops were titled, "In all its beauty & Humor," and she taught it with her business partner/husband, Lawrence Cowell, who made this behind the scenes video over the four days of the two workshops. They loved Austin & would go back in a split second if there was vacancy at The Hotel San Jose and it was warm enough to go swimming at Barton Springs.

The 2013 Texas Photo Roundup, held in Austin, Texas, was 3 days of workshops, panels, talks and parties. We're planning the 2014 Roundup now. Interested in becoming a sponsor?
