ME

Hello Digital World (thanks for listening),
If you live alone then you will probably die alone. I say that because I want to be ready when my time is up here on this earth. I don't want this to be a downer post. I actually want the exact opposite. I want the readers to hold me accountable of the things that I am going to say that I want out of life. I have a bucket list and I have a lot left to do. Here are some reasons I do what I do.

I love... I have been trying to love selflessly because the people that I have chosen to love are safe to love. If you love selflessly or to love at all it is risky. If you do it right and do it without hesitation then the risk can be well worth the reward. I love my kids without any reservation because I can not understand anything but love when I see, hear, hug and even just talk to them. I love my wife because she is amazing. She is all that I have ever wanted out of love.

I fly... I am working on getting my pilots license and not everyone that cares about me likes it. I fly because I want to. I fly because it is amazing. I fly because it will expand my territory a little. I fly because I want to live.

I dance... I dance because I feel the music. I love to dance with or without someone. I prefer with but I can dance alone. I dance because when there is good music on I can't help but shake by groove thang.

I photograph... I photograph because I am good at it and I can document great times in peoples lives. I love to photograph people and share with them a picture of how they look at each other. I love the thought of being a photographer. I am proud to put that on the line of occupation. I love to photograph real life and I love getting paid to do it.

I joke... I joke because I love the sound of laughter (most of the time). It is great to laugh with good friends. I joke not to escape real life but I usually joke about real truth and that to me is funnier than most things.

I KISS... I own KISS Wedding Books with Kevin Swan. I am thrilled to be a part of KISS because we exist to help this wonderful industry. I feel that we can help photographers have a simpler life. We have traveled tons of places to help photographers simplify their business and focus on what they are good at. I KISS because simple is hot.

I am Shaun Austin. Thanks for being a part of my dash.

WPPI Vegas 2009

We are having another "Get simple" workshop at the WPPI tradeshow in Las Vegas
This is a great opportunity for all of you photogs that want to come to a "Get Simple" if we have not visited your area yet. We are looking forward to a great Vegas trip. We got the KISS house again so there is always good times there.
