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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

finally

it's here.

movin' in

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.

It's a stormy week here in mn.
