PHOTO JOURNAL SHOWS A PIECE OF AUSTIN’S SOUTH CONGRESS

 

            AUSTIN, TX – The attitude and quirky fun of the South Congress district in Austin, Texas, has been delightfully captured in a new photo journal by Steven M. Hamilton.   This once impoverished area has now become one of the city’s trendy sections.

            Down on South Congress has over 50 pictures in stark black and white and in vibrant color.  Alan Bourgeois, owner of Creative House International Press, Inc., discovered this new talent on South Congress Avenue last year as he was peddling his picture note cards. Bourgeois, having been inspired by the unusual quality and variety of Hamilton’s work, was pleased that the photojournalist agreed to the creation of this tabletop book.   

            Prima Dona’s at 1912 S. Congress will be hosting a book release party on March 11, 2010 from 6:00 – 8:00 PM.  Mr. Hamilton will be available to autograph copies of his first book.

            Creative House Press has put down its roots into the local Austin scene and, although Down on South Congress is the first book the company has published by a local author, it clearly will not be their last.  The publishing house currently has 13 books in various stages of publication scheduled for 2010, ranging from children’s tales to general fiction.
