“You go bye-bye?” says Charlie Minto, 5, to Kari Hughes, a behavioral therapist. Charlie was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified, or, in layman’s terms, non-severe autism October of this past year and receives in-home therapy provided five days a week. When he’s ready for playtime and done with behavior therapy, he doesn’t keep it to himself.
Editor’s note: The following is a suggestion we have received for Longhorn of the Year.
Joah Spearman opens the door to Austin Java Cafe, brushes the late-afternoon drizzle off his leather jacket and wipes his limited edition Livestrong for Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop black and yellow Nike’s on the restaurant’s welcome mat. The back of the 28 year-old sneaker fan’s kicks proudly read “Austin” and “Texas” on the left and right shoe, respectively. Just minutes after he leaves the table with our photographer to shoot some photographs, complete with poses that scream confidence, a woman comes up to me and asks if he’s famous.

Take a look at one of our senior videographers, Demi Adejuyigbe, jamming it out on stage with Santigold. He was shooting The Warner Sound showcase at La Zona Rosa when she asked for people to join her onstage. He was one of the lucky few:

The images below are meant to show how two different photographers perceive the same moment from two different angles:

If music were represented by places, then Neil Petty, a.k.a. Neiliyo’s, latest EP would be the Montauk Yacht Club meets ’80s South Beach. On Aquinnah, Austin’s self-proclaimed electro-funktionaire hits moments of a sort of musical Northeast-prep class with classic and precise instrumentals. These moments are thoroughly beaten down with neon-streaked, ’80s crudeness with a classic nostalgia all its own.
It still did not get to me that today is my last day to work at the Daily Texan, after being here for nine semesters. But I have a feeling that when it gets to me, I will probably think mostly about how crazy it has been. When I first made it to the photo staff, I remember wondering why they even chose me because I honestly did not even know how to work the camera.
Editor's Note: The Life & Arts senior staff combed through this year's pop culture and selected the artists, albums, books and movements that they think, in one way or another, helped define 2011. This is the first in a two-day series.
Smiles came easily whenever the late Austin musician Stevie Ray Vaughan was around because of his positive spirit and the revolutionary sound of his music, said music photographer and friend Susan Antone.
“When Stevie came in the room, he just made you smile — he was really a neat, fun, creative person,” Antone said. “I don’t know anybody who didn’t like Stevie.”
Very little music of worth or at least notoriety has come out of Washington since the heyday of Kurt Cobain and grunge music. In the ’90s, Sir Mix-A-Lot managed to move out of the Seattle scene and permeate into mainstream rap. However, Sir Mix-A-Lot is an exception to the norm.

Heartlesss Bastards perform at the Orange Stage.
It was just weeks ago that the mythical iPhone 5 seemed like a complete game changer with rumors flying — such as it can function as a credit card or it would have a sleek teardrop shape.
In reality however, the iPhone 4S and its iOS 5 are just reactive releases to catch up to the latest smartphones.
Here’s a brief breakdown of Apple’s big announcement.
The barrel of a Winchester .30-30-caliber lever-action rifle rests on a bed of ash and debris made up of what was once the house of 61-year-old Charles Bogel. This portion of his father’s “Golden Spike Commemorative Rifle” is one of the few remnants of Bogel’s past. The rest of his possessions were incinerated by the wildfire that destroyed more than 1,500 homes and 35,000 acres in Bastrop.
About 11 years ago, local photographer Rana Ghana could not walk down Guadalupe St. without smelling spray paint in the air and hearing the sizzle of local street artists doing their work. Those days are gone.
Ghana spoke about the dynamics of street art and the city’s efforts to remove it in a lecture sponsored by the Fine Arts Library Thursday evening.
Charles Newton Bogel, the LBJ Library staff photographer and audio video specialist, stands in what is left of his 11-year-old Bastrop home after it was destroyed by the Central Texas wildfires. Bogel’s resilience as well as support from friends and co-workers have helped alleviate the struggle of starting over.
Bogel stares out the window of his hotel on HWY 71 facing east toward Bastrop. He remembers looking at the flames shortly after being evacuated and thinking “man that’s that fire, that’s that fire, still burning, still burning down houses.”
Bogel examines what is left of his home.
Bogel outlines the floor plan of his home with an insurance auditor as they file a comprehensive claim for his losses. The fire was so destructive, the ceiling caved in and not a single interior wall was left standing.
Rodrigo Telon Yucute focuses on the sound of the voices, raises a camera and snaps off a shot, capturing an image of a couple laughing as they sit on a yellow park bench.
He shows it to the subjects but cannot see it himself. The photographer-in-training has been blind for nearly 30 years.
World-renowned photographer Elliott Erwitt has photographed a wide variety of subjects, from major historical figures to Parisian passersby and poodles. Erwitt presented personal favorites and well-known pieces at the Harry Ransom Center on Thursday night.
Erwitt joined the Magnum Photos agency in 1953, and his photos will be archived along with other Magnum pieces at the Ransom Center.
I haven’t been around the Texan all that long, but I get the sense that in the past all we had to do to get a tidal wave of tryouts at the start of a semester was to make sure the door to the basement was unlocked.
After all, having a key job at the Texan figure prominently on your resume was a pretty good entrée to the wild world of journalism, where the people who owned the presses seemed to print money along with papers.
We all know how that has changed, and so has the flow of tryouts through the doors of the Texan.
Greetings my friends!
I’m pleased to say that this week’s expedition into the eclectic had a more absolute and complete feel to it than previous trips. It was almost as if a missing piece of the strange, perplexing puzzle that is Austin garage sale culture had been found. And what emerged from imperfection was spectacular. What I’m trying to say here is Gillian Rhodes — photographer, Daily Texan comics artist and now my partner in The Garage Sale Review — returned from studying abroad in Belize and joined me on Saturday’s quest.
The Daily Texan team is heading to Omaha to follow that other winning UT squad -- the Longhorns baseball team -- as it seeks the national crown in the College World Series!
Our baseball writers, Trey Scott and Jon Parrett, along with Texan photographer Andrew Edmonson, will bring our readers all the action on our website and in our paper editions on Monday and Thursday.
In the days and weeks immediately following the morning of the Sept. 11 attacks, journalism graduate student Avery Holton said many of his friends joined the military.
He said joining the military did not make sense for him, then a 20-year-old at UT on scholarship. He and a photographer decided to cover the state of New York three months later.
“New York seemed to be the symbolic front of the nation,” Holton said.
