Behind the scenes at the Place Bureau: photographs from our journeys and explorations when no one is looking. Every run tells the story of somewhere - a city, a coastline, a season.

RUN 01

Austin By Night

Everyone remembers their first Austin. Most people fall hard and fast — some never make it home. Texas Hill Country, Topo Chico, brisket smoke — sure, that's the postcard. But Austin is a city of romantics, and romantics come alive after dark. This is a town that sings and dances its heart out, night after night, like it's got nothing to lose. Cheer Up Charlies. Hotel Vegas. The Continental Club. The dearly departed Stay Gold. Maybe it's an older Austin we caught on camera — one where life ran looser, louder, a little more free. But when we dream of anywhere else we'd rather be, the neon always leads us back here to Austin Nights.

The Field Notes

When we go deeper with a place, we make Field Notes. Sometimes we make these books with a voracity, a hunger for a place we've fallen for; sometimes we make them from sheer boredom; sometimes from love of a place we keep coming back to and we want to reveal to others. They are diaries of our explorations, guides to neighbourhoods we know so well, that we want you to get to know too.
