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:

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.

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

Home

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.

2 weeks
