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.

nov 1st

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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...
