Treaty Oak Photography is named after the historic ‘Treaty Oak' in Austin, Texas. The ‘Treaty Oak' is the last surviving member of the ‘Council Oaks', a grove of 14 trees that served as a sacred meeting place for Comanche and Tonkawa Indian Tribes. It is estimated to be about 500 years old and, before its vandalism in 1989, the tree's branches had a spread of 127 feet. The tree is located in Treaty Oak Park, on Baylor Street between 5th and 6th Streets, just west of downtown Austin. I chose the name because it symbolizes so much of what I love about Austin; the natural beauty, the history, the wonderful old live oak trees, and the many parks around the city. (and the web address hadn't already been taken)... I've been a photography ‘hobbyist' since 1978 when I first moved to Austin and started tagging along with an old high school friend that was doing commercial photography. In 2006 I finally began my transition from ‘hobby' to part time business and opened the Treaty Oak Photography..
