So this is getting somewhat annoying for everyone, I'm sure.

I have changed my blog to a new place, and it's lookin pretty great. You can check it out here:

I love Tumblr and its ability for customization exceeds blogger in almost every way that it was just too difficult to pass up.

And to foreshadow some plans for this year; I WILL be releasing a new website very soon, and hopefully a full-fledged blog sometime later this summer, so this new tumblr blog is only temporary.

katie and nick's wedding!

2009-02-24T21:17:00.000-06:00

Here are a couple samples from a wedding I shot with my good friend Spencer Combs back in January! I was finally able to finish them up and release them, and hope that they do this incredibly beautiful wedding justice.

It's finally friday, however I'm on my way to the architecture studio to work on the new project that's assigned for next thursday, I'll be posting some progress pictures over the next few days from earlier in the semester and recently, just to show what I've been working on.

I just wrapped up a quick shoot this afternoon which went incredibly well considering I'd never shot a band with 7 people in it. Next weekend I have a two day shoot which should be awesome, especially since my good friend Jules Ameel will be helping me. I've got an awesome hotel room booked for a part of the shoot, so cool!

Three weeks until California, I'm getting soooo stoked.

went biking downtown minneapolis with ben last week, I'm itching so bad for warmer weather. one month until San Fran. these were taken as been was fixing his bike. I had to go reserve some space at the Grand Hotel for a shoot in two weeks, i'm waiting on a call back (crosses fingers).

Today I woke up at Diana's house and we made a great breakfast together. We're not much for Valentine's Day, and really believe that if you love someone, you'll make it a point to show it everyday...cheesy I know, but hey, it's true right? However, not to make her feel left out, I made her shrimp with orzo tonight and surprised her with some flowers. It was quite the ordeal, grocery shopping and getting everything prepared in the time I had while she was gone. My roomate John helped prepare some of the ingredients, and thankfully it was in the oven before she arrived. It was delectible to say the least. Of course, Diana ended up giving me a basket of snacks, because she knows how much of a sweet tooth I have. We spent some time after dinner in St Paul walking around, which didn't last long as it was 19 degrees out...not exactly the ideal temp for a stroll.

It was a great and much needed break from school, considering I have a nice big assignement for DF2 due Tuesday.I love the class, but it's so much work I'm finding myself pulling all nighters (last wed) and neglecting some of my other homework for my other architecture classes...naja, I'll figure out to balance soon hopefully.

I'm off to bed to wake up early tomorrow morning, I'm working at Apple for my only shift for the next two weeks...and I didn't even request off. All fine by me of course, I've been getting more inquiries than ever lately :]

lots of work I'm about to release, I've had a great time sorting through the multiple shoots I've been doing over the past few weeks.

one sidenote: my friend and fellow photog Spencer Combs proposed to his girlfriend in Nashville last night, and I'm soooo incredibly excited for him. I've been helping him cope with his ideas, stress, and travels on his way to that moment, but I'm sooo stoked now that it's official!

feb 11

2009-02-15T21:22:00.001-06:00

I've been spending a ton of time in the architecture studio this week working on projects ad such. I had lunch with Jules Ameel the other day to discuss my shoot with Tyrone Mayes later this month. He's going to be helping me with lights and everything, which I'm extremely grateful for.

Valentines day is on its way, so I've been preparing a little something for Diana. It'll be an added bonus to be able to spend time with her all this weekend.

feb 7

2009-02-15T21:21:00.001-06:00

shot some pictures of my sister (in blue) and her friends before their dance. I spent a quick weekend at home, worked at apple for the first time in two weeks, and have just been trying to keep up with homework. I've got a few things to complete for the first part of my second project in DF2, but I'll post a few pictures of some of the things I've been working on relatively soon. I've got more work than ever to release, as a result of five shoots over the past couple weeks.

I had lunch with a friend of mine, Jules Ameel, to hangout and talk about a shoot later in the month that he's going to help me with. I'm super excited for it, but I'll post more details later.

I've been biking everywhere over the past few days as the weather has been in the 40's, very uncommon for Minnesota in February. It's been been perfect in terms of temperature and terrain, that is if you ignore getting wet now and then.

In other news, I'll be heading to SanFran for the 4th time this year. My friend Ben Lanksy and I are going to be heading out with our bikes for a couple days (Mar 13-17) to visit my friend Austen again. I'm so stoked to ride there again, especially on my own bike.

bye for now, I'm working on finishing drawings for the next 8 hours.

2009-02-08T16:27:00.000-06:00

I'm at school all day today, but have a couple hours before I head to studio. Here's one from my shoot on Sunday, it was so cold and very clear that night, this is with the guys as we were walking on top of a train. Great view of the MPLS skyline behind, which was awesome.

more to come on this later.

2009-02-08T16:25:00.000-06:00

I spent Monday morning, afternoon, evening, and night in the Architecture studio working on Project 1 for DF2.

Two weeks ago we were to construct with a partner a cantilever from cards, only using one deck, no adhesives, 18 inches long, and be able to hold a tennis ball. My partner Andy and I made a really solid model that hardly dipped from parallel, even with the ball at the end. After that was finished, we had to draw, diagram, and explain our model through plan, elevation, and plan oblique drawings, which ended up taking a handful of time, as these drawings typically do.

After spending the night working, laughing with everyone at almost everything, enduring the cold draft (from Kyle breaking the window with a tennis ball on Sunday), frustration, etc, I finally fell asleep on a couch in the basement at six thirty for about 45 minutes. All of the photos are a mix from Sunday and Monday

I'm at home today going through images from 3 different shoots, catching up on homework, running some errands, and relaxing. I get to spend some time with Diana tonight (finally), we're making a great dinner together.

click on it for a larger size!

Mandie is an aspiring actress and wanted some new headshots, so we used my room and a couple nearby locations from my house to shoot. I'm so happy to have shot these again for her, and look forward to doing more in the near future.

Today I shot a wedding with my friend Spencer Combs. I'm so stoked to have helped him shoot this, it was an incredible day with great weather and people, as well as beautiful places. I should be posting some pictures from that within the coming week or two, depending on time. I am working on finishing my first DF2 project for architecture for Tuesday, and it sure has been taking a ton of time to finish.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend, I'm off to do a quick shoot of my friends in Your Memorial and Charis, then hanging out with my beautiful girl!

last night

2009-01-27T00:50:00.002-06:00

a set from last night at the City of Sound CD Release Show. I did a quick shoot for Go Nutz! for a magazine in Minneapolis, but the name I can't remember at the moment. Gave me a chance to really use my new lenses and camera, and I'm really stoked about the results. More on these later, for now:

also, Inauguration Day, such an important event for not only Americans, but my generation.

2009-01-16T15:21:00.000-06:00

Visited the family before school starts, and my mom, sisters, and I went on a walk with Cricket. Super cold out, about -10 degrees with wind, but it was still fun!

These are with my new 5d and 16-35mm f2.8L. I'm waiting on my 50mm f1.2L which should come next week, and I'm stoked to see to use it on my upcoming shoots.

Now that I'm back from California, I am anxious for warm weather!

new work coming soon before school starts, I'm excited to show everyone!

2009-01-11T03:57:00.000-06:00

I've been in California for 2 full days and only have 3 more left, but so it's been extremely awesome, considering back home we're having subzero highs and snow...

I've biked about 40 miles since I've been here, 15 my first night while it was super foggy, and then yesterday 30 miles with Austen's brother Alex and friend Kirt. I took some shots of the two as you can see above. I shot them with a MF 50mm 1.4, which I bought for a couple hundred bucks from Austen's work. It pains me to buy new equipment right before I upgrade everything, but it will work out fine as I've decided to wait on the 5d mark II and go with the standard 5d. Reason for my decision could be obvious: Austen is getting me a killer deal on a body with grip, saving me almost 2k, so I'll be putting the leftover amount to another solid lens, more on that when I have the equipment.

Today we spent the entire afternoon in Half Moon Bay and Big Basin Redwoods Park. We relaxed on the beach, took some good shots, and our drive to Big Basin was incredible going 40 mph down a 4 meter wide road hugged by cliffs and trees :O Great weather and good music made the day perfect. You should expect to see some of the images online within the next few days. Here's a clip from the beach:

Tomorrow we're going to be up semi-early to eat breakfast and catch the BART with or bikes over to Frisco. We'll be biking downtown all day so I'm stoked to get some good shots and bike some new terrain (omg hillzzzz). If you want to get an idea what it will be like, check out this video:

I'm in the process of finally working on and finishing my website (I swear it's for real this time) and preparing for the upcoming projects I have at the end of the month into February.

2009 is already shaping up to be a great year.

Sing It Loud, Epitaph Records, Aug 2008

Now that I'm finally home for the holidays, I've had a chance to catch up on work from the past few weeks and even go back through all the projects I worked on and find images I always liked but never released.

I'm currently finishing up some family photos, work for the Simley Track Team, and Trace The Skyline and looking forward to the many projects planned for 2009, my trip to California, new business cards, a new website (finally), and whole lot more. I've been blessed this year and fortunate to meet so many people and learn so many new things so it's safe to say I'm excited to see what 2009 has in store.

I'll be releasing a whole crop of new images on the web in the next couple days, ahead of my new website and a couple of other secret events; here are a couple to preview:

dec 15

2008-12-16T02:19:00.000-06:00

It's been a couple weeks since I posted. Finals are over with after tomorrow, except I still have a 10 page paper to turn in on wednesday. It's been blistering cold here in the state of Minnesota lately, reaching a -20 degrees windchill yesterday and probably again tonight. I've had a few shoots as well and still have a couple more booked before the end of the year. I'm also leaving for the west coast to hangout with my friend Austen for a couple days in January, which I can't wait for.

2 things to do:
a)check out my friend Spencer's work, he just did a shoot with Steve Moakler and is going to take over in the coming months. flickr.com/spencer-combs | spencer-combs.com

b)check out my gallery on the front page of Photography Served (sister site to Behance)
photographyserved.com

more word on the new website and projects in the coming days, I need to get back to studying.

Here are a few images from my day with Rocket To The Moon. These images should be in the next AP Mag showcasing the bands for the AP Tour. My friend Max from Get Young just joined the band so it was great to see him again.

Thanksgiving is almost here, and I've been working to finish some of my analytical and value drawings for my arch 2301 class, along with a final project in 3711. I'm about to watch Notorious by Hitchcock before bed, all while working on said projects.

It's supposed to get warmer over the next couple of days, makes me happy to see winter holding off just a few more days!

here's one more outtake from that shoot:

school and such

2008-11-21T03:39:00.000-06:00

Here are some pictures of some friends and I finishing the many time-intensive drawings the night/morning before our review for Arch 2301.

Expect more over the next few years ;]

I have a meeting with the Coach from Simley HS tomorrow, should be interesting. I'm shooting their track team in a couple weeks so I'm extremely stoked! Wish me luck

More in a few days

2008-11-19T04:28:00.001-06:00

dead tired, and a really interesting week has already been set in motion. Started off on Sunday after work, I had a quick shoot with a band for an hour until dark, then drove home, made a sweet dinner, biked to school and got a ticket. what for you ask? for going through a stop sign. a bike. through a stop sign. What followed was an entire night spent drawing at the architecture building until 8am, at which point I went to economics, then came back for my third review for my class. I got a solid A, was stoked, and proceeded to fall asleep in the courtyard for 3 hours. since then, monday, we had a scare of getting evicted on account of our landlord, staying up late again, broke a tube in my bike tire (again), scheduled a shoot with an entire metro track team in a couple weeks, biked in freezing cold (see below), etc.

I'm currently trying to finish an overdue paper, schedule next semester's classes, finish a few shoots from the past few weeks while planning for new ones, keep up with other homework, be on time at apple, hangout with dee, plan a vacation, staying warm, and possibly maintain a social life. oh how I can't wait for break.

here are a few from the past week: Now and Forever (myspace.com/nowandforever) and a couple more from my shoot with Mark.

2008-11-08T20:10:00.000-06:00

The weekend is here and it's almost over.

Shot a wedding today with my friend Spencer; 30 degrees, windy, snowing, and so much fun!
got a lot of great shots.

Here's a set from one of my senior shoots this fall, along with a shot from my late October shoot with For All Those Sleeping (myspace.com/forallthosesleeping)

I'll be spending most of this coming week in the library again, along with pushing out some finished shots of my last few shoots, including City of Sound.

Winter is beginning, which means a new website in the works, and more importantly, a vacation.

2008-11-01T11:41:00.000-05:00

Here's the image of The Morning Of taken earlier this month.

Halloween was intense last night, I rode around the entirety of Minneapolis, took pictures of the drunk college kids in their costumes, and barred the cold at 3 AM on my ride home.

pictures soon.

also, it is me and my girlfriend's 2 year anniversary today! It's been nothing but fun and I hope every guy can find a girl like mine.

Happy Halloween

2008-10-31T21:53:00.000-05:00

I find myself with many photos to show, but will wait until they are up officially. I'm going to spend my halloween biking around Minneapolis taking pictures of everyone's costumes.

next week I'll have some pictures, for now, my place and the people that I share it with (forgot sam, i'll post one later)...

oct 14th

2008-10-15T00:01:00.001-05:00

Some of my bike, built by my friend Austen. If you'd like one for yourself, he custom builds the best fixies I know: http://www.goldencitybikes.blogspot.com/

also one from the bled, taken way back when.

I've been keeping busy lately, and feeling the need to change or grow more in how I go about shooting pictures. It's an ongoing process, as it has been for the past few years, but I'm excited to see what kind of images I produce. I have a number of shoots left for the months of oct and nov, and if I feel inclined I might slow down until next spring.

I'm blown away by the new canon 5d and might be switching bodies coming early next year, we'll see how soon I'll be able to get my hands on that hahha!

Oct 7

2008-10-08T00:05:00.000-05:00

This is how I spent my 21st birthday; Taylors Falls with my girlfriend, apple orchard, driving the a3, good breakfast and dinner.

It was great to finally have a day to not worry about anything, but now that school has started this week, I've been living at the library and trying to keep up with homework. It's proving difficult, but I'm staying focused.

pictures from The Morning Of shoot should be up soon, head to my flickr to peep an outtake from that Friday.

september 27th

2008-09-28T01:02:00.001-05:00

So it has been awhile, sorry to be MIA over the past few weeks. These are some from my shoot with The Drive Back last week, I'm stoked with how they turned out.

School is in full swing and I'm enjoying every bit of it, however my architecture classes have become that much more demanding this semester. I'm currently keeping myself sane by riding around on this guy:

tons of fun, and easy to say I've been on about four or five 2 hour bike rides through minneapolis in the wee hours of the morning over the past week. I'm currently at home for the evening, working on finishing up editing on some shoots from early september and taking some pictures for my sister in her first homecoming dress.

I'm shooting The Morning Of on Friday, going to Taylors Falls to spend some quality time with my favorite girl for my birthday on Saturday, and spending the rest of the time keeping up with school, so I definitely have my hands full!

final note: new website has been pushed for completion next month, we'll see if it's ready by then.

2008-09-08T03:20:00.000-05:00

now that school has started back up, I've been struggling to catch up on work. Looks like time management has hit me as a priority with full force.

More cool stuff to come this month, along with a new website...

one week

2008-08-27T03:59:00.000-05:00

school starts in one week....I think I'm ready to start.

finished up the Sing It Loud pictures, there are more, but those are for later. Epitaph put up an unedited version of the picture on their myspace, go peep that or something (because honestly, i'm not sure why they did).

Also, the football dude is Ryan, these are some extra shots I did for his senior pictures, because the kid is a 4-time captain, some large number all conference/all state football playing machine. Not to mention, he's also a great guy. His pictures turned out great, but he was super stoked for these.

also, ETID from Warped Tour, which was sick...because it always is.

need sleep, update later.

coming home

2008-08-20T21:37:00.000-05:00

Two days before I come home.

I've had a lot of fun out here in California, met many people, and seen some new places. my daily paid for meals was a bonus as well, lots of new food I had to try :] the work was what I expected, but the people were not, but weekends with my friend Austen were what made my time out here awesome. I hate to leave, but i'll be back.

When I'm home it's back to work (did I ever stop?). I have another shoot with my friends in Sing It Loud on Saturday, A Verse Unsung on Sunday, and then senior photos for 3 people during the week. With all of that looming, I'm frantically trying to finish up all the shoots I had before I left. School starts the day after Labor Day, I have to move all my stuff from the upstairs of my duplex to the downstairs, and somehow fit in time with my family and girlfriend....whew, so much to look forward to.

I'll post some of Sing It Loud as soon as Epitaph let's me.

californication

2008-08-11T02:08:00.000-05:00

Finally I am able to update some things now that I am out of town and currently sitting in my hotel room in Cupertino.

I've been gone in California for the past week, and will be here until the 22nd doing some work for Apple. The whole week has been passing by somewhat slow, following a routine up until Friday. I spent the entire weekend with my friend Austen (great photographer and great guy) out here in the Bay Area, mostly spending time in San Francisco and his hometown of San Ramon, taking a lot of pictures, swimming in his pool, driving, and catching up. We're already starting to plan for next weekend, which should probably get alittle more crazy. Here are some of the photos of the past two days, with of course, more to follow.

Just busy finalizing alot of graduation shoots from a few weeks ago, prepping for school, and trying to squeeze as much summer out of the last month that's left before september.

I'm very stoked for the next month or two, especially for all the new work that i'm going to be doing and all of the new things i'm releasing...including my new website.

stay tuned...

2008-07-28T02:38:00.001-05:00

I have a whole new website coming, i'm guessing sometime soon. It'll finally give the ability to update it more often, have more and larger pictures to view, so i'm stoked to get it finished.

I've been extremely busy with shoots the past week, diana has finally come home from her family in buenos aires, and i leave in exactly one week for california.

Plans for the next week include a shoot with Take Cover on thursday, and also two more senior photo sessions. Sadly I will not be shooting The Morning Of tomorrow because they experienced some van troubles during tour, so that shoot will hopefully be rescheduled for sometime this fall. Some days will be filled with part time work at Apple, and to top it all off A Day To Remember on Saturday and Warped Tour on Sunday.

photos soon to follow...

2008-07-26T12:16:00.000-05:00

my pictures for sing it loud's new music video for "no one can touch us" have finally been released, here are a couple.

check out the video: VID
and more of the pictures: PICS

2008-07-18T03:02:00.001-05:00

I've been really busy lately, especially with work at Apple and the whole iPhone launch. I've managed to have found time to finish pictures from a wedding back in june. I've also been hard at work on scheduling graduation photos, finishing pictures for Sing It Loud's music video release next week, and so many other things on top of that. I have 5 graduation shoots next week, then Diana is home finally, and only one week later and I'll be in California until the end of August.

Somewhere in there and after I'll find time to edit, get ready for school, shoot a couple bands, hangout with my family and girlfriend, work, and possibly sleep.

I'm still working on getting a new layout for my website, and hope to have a new one up around October. I'll be focusing on simplifying the layout, making it easier to update, and adding more content.

I had the house to myself for two weeks while Sam was on tour and Caleb was working at home. but for the next couple days I will be spending time back home with my mom and sisters, as well as visiting my grandparents and sleeping.

2008 just keeps on flying by.

2008-07-09T01:38:00.000-05:00

spending some time with my friend Max in his apartment. Get Young is parting ways.

I went to my first PUG meeting tonight over in Edina after work, and it was great to meet a ton of older photographers from the area, especially Spencer Combs. We knew of each other, but had never met, and it was a great time getting to know each other, geeking out on camera hardware, etc. I'm stoked because we're going to go do some shoots together soon.

iPhone 3G launch friday at 8am, at least i'm not working. I'm really going to crack down on my work and finish all of it before next week. nice that I got my car fixed so I can go to the few places that buses won't.

I leave for California in less than a month...now if only I could figure out a way to bring my macpro with...

from the past

2008-07-09T01:34:00.000-05:00

Put up some missing pictures from early spring. Pictures of my friend JJ and hometown New Prague, The Devil Wears Prada, and my friends in Get Young.

Still missing Diana more than anything, and only 2.5 weeks left.

Meg & Dia

From Early March

1/2 done

2008-07-02T00:18:00.000-05:00

So much has been happening since I got home from Germany. I'm currently finishing up proofs for a wedding and getting ready for seniors that scheduled sessions this summer. I've posted very little lately, but the above images are from the past few weeks; Panic At The Disco, Tony from Get Young and his legs, Diana, and Sing It Loud.

News: My friend Tony is leaving Get Young in April for something new in Colorado. Huge bummer because all those guys are my best friends, and they are one of the most solid bands in Minnesota. We'll see what the future brings.

It has been one week since Diana has been gone, and it's already really hard without her. She'll be back in 3.5 weeks....what am I going to do? I miss her so much already.

On Saturday Sing It Loud recorded their first video for "No one Can Touch Us," hosted by Epitaph and Produced by Justin Pierre. I took some 500 images for the event, and was at Justin's parent's house for about 12 hours. It was a lot of fun and I met a ton of really cool people as well as seeing some good friends.

I'm currently working on a new website, getting ready to leave for California for a month in August, starting a new project with some really cool people from work in Minneapolis relating to fashion, and preparing for school (already?). Two months sure seems pretty little now that i'm looking at it.

2008-06-13T12:51:00.000-05:00

finally was able to take some pictures of diana when we went to the park. They turned out really well and were taken as the sun was going down. I'm really excited about my 50mm that I've been using more frequently, and have been getting some really good results out of.

tony told me some news yesterday.
I was also shooting Tiesto at Club Epic last night for the 612.co, which was extremely awesome, but ended up getting kicked out after we learned he brought his own security :P

Diana leaves in a week and a half, and i'm still not too sure what i'll be doing without her. We still have a couple fun days planned together, so at least we will be able to make it count.

Summer is going great so far, and living in my new house is going great.

I've been busy moving into my new house the past week, but have managed to keep going on stuff. Projects to still be finished include Energy Park Drive, Take Cover, Germany, Now & Forever, and Get Young/Gloria show.

Dee leaves in a month, so spending time with her right now is my bigger priority.

My new house is awesome, and I went and bought all new furniture for it. I also bought my macpro, which i've been waiting for for months. Move in photos i'll put up soon.

I have just returned back to my home here in Minnesota a few days ago after being in Germany for the past two weeks. I was there with my parents visiting my exchange family I stayed with a few years ago. We see each other every year and switch off coming to stay with one another. This year's trip was highlighted by getting to know my german brother a lot better, spending time with his parents, meeting many new people and visiting the ones I hadn't seen in awhile. The parents also made a separate trip to austria while Daniel and I hung out at home for 1/2 the week.

here's only a few pictures out of hundreds:

While I was there I also had some work to finish. Here are some from my shoot with Emiliana a few weeks ago:

I was finally able to see Diana last night and am planning on spending as much time with her before she leaves me for Argentina for a month. I'm also moving into a new house this week, getting back to work and already have a ton of shoots planned for the next few months, and I'm in the planning process of touring with my friends in Sing It Loud and Get Young.

Thank God summer is here.

Just shot Gloria last week.

It is now the first of May, meaning it is 18 months I've been with Diana, we're so stoked about it.

I'm beginning this blog because my last one failed, and I need a way to let people know what i'm up to...that is, if they want to.

I'm finishing up school in two weeks at which point i'll be leaving for Germany until the end of May to go visit family and see the country again for the first time since '05. Before I leave i'll be doing shoots for Emiliana and Energy Park Drive and lots of studying for finals week. I also have a new house to move into.

I'll update at the end of the week.
