Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving was good to me this year. :)

Happy Birthday!!! (To Me)

I recently celebrated my 23rd birthday, not quite coughing up dust; but getting there. The woman made a delicious pumpkin cheesecake accompanied by a few good gifts. :) Thanks honey!

Dancing with Fire

I was asked to photography an event called, "Shimmy for the Shelter." It's an annual benefit for the Animals Allies of Duluth. A shelter where i found my beloved damlation, Jasper. There were 17 seperate performances, the last involving fire. :)

**The rest of the photos will be available to the dancers, including their friends and families. I'll be done processing them this week.

Goin' to the chapel....

My long time friend Tara Colberg married her man Robert Aclure down in the Wabasha Caves last week. The wedding literally had something for everybody and was a complete blast. Congratulations to Tara and Rob, i wish you the very best! :)

Independence Day 2010

Happy Belated 4th of July Folks. :)

Linda

My father's Fiance, isn't she beautiful?

Self Portrait

Self Explanatory. :)

Late Night Shoot

Yes, yes; i understand that the Aerial Bridge is entirely overshot by tourists and photographers alike. I have such a great view just across a foot bridge by my apartment, and for that reason i couldn't resist.

Near and Far

Shipping season is upon us in Duluth, MN. I woke up this cloudy morning to find some ships just "hanging out" around the canal.

Drago

A friend of mine recently added a new member to his house named, "Drago." Needless to say, Jasper has a new friend. :)

Out for a stroll

The weather has been exceptionally beautiful in Duluth lately, which means Jasper and i hit the pavement much more often in search of new territory and unmarked fire hydrants.

Taxi, Taxi!

Another stock photo for KDAL.

Missed the Rainbow, still got this one though.

I was just a little too late catching a rainbow directly above these ships. The day had brought rain earlier, but started to clear out for a beautiful evening. I got this one at least, and had a little fun with photo shop from the text down, obviously. :-) The clouds and everything are original, I'll be the first to tell you, i cannot photo shop clouds by hand to save my life!

I have not advertised this as a print, i have been selling them though. If you're interested, they're only $40.00 each.

Take Back the Night

The Program for Aid to Victims of Sexual Assault (PAVSA) and community sponsors throughout the Twin Ports collaborated to put on the annual, "Take Back the Night." The event is meant to raise awareness about sexual assault, and to also take a stand against those in our community who commit such terrible crimes. Men and Women from all over the Twin Ports showed criminals they are not afraid to walk their own city streets at night, in a symbolic march through Downtown Duluth.

The Face of Duluth

I was out taking local stock photos for WDSM, which included spending some time in the Mayor's Office.


Mr. Mayor (Don Ness), was more than cooperative as i snapped one photo after the other.

Mr.Ness has a wife named Laura; and 2 children named Eleanor and James. He was elected Mayor of Duluth, MN in 2007, and took office in Janurary of 2008.

View from Mayor Don Ness's office; not bad, eh?

Night and Day

Bottom three possible examples of framing? What do you think, Bob? :)

Sneaky Sneaky

I snuck into a large industrial sort of shipyard the other night. Aside from providing some very interesting photos of machinery; i was treated to a beautiful view of Duluth from the Superior, WI side.

2010 KTCO Bridesmaids' Ball

What is the Bridesmaids' Ball you might ask?

Well, it's an event put on by KTCO every year that encourages women to put on whatever old/new bridemaids dresses they have lying around. They get to eat till they're full, dance till they're tired; and win prizes for some hilarious dress categories. There is a common theme though, it's all for charity. Every dollar from the ticket sales went directly to Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare.

Miss Minnesota was one of the people to grace our guest list, along with radio personalities from 98.9 KTCO. Here are just a few of the 86 photos i walked away with that evening; thank you to everyone involved in making this event a success!

Family Fun Fest 2010

Kids flooded the DECC last weekend for the annual Family Fun Fest. Ronald McDonald, Champ the Bulldog, and TC from the Twins were just a few mascots to grace the guest list. There was also plenty of games, face painting, and snacks to be had. If you weren't there, you missed out; we better see you there next year! :-)

Twins Caravan 2010

I can apologize time and time again for procrastinating these posts, but give me a break folks; 12 credits don't learn themselves.

The Twins Caravan for 2010 rolled through Duluth, MN. Grandma's Sports garden was to be their destination once within the city. Northern Minnesota's media giant, Midwest Communications: gave me an all access pass to shoot the event. Dan Gladden, Jason Kubel, Jessie Crain, and the president of the Twins were among some of the Twins Players i was able to meet. There were also local celebrities, including Mrs. Duluth herself.

The place was packed with eager kids, waiting to have their merchandise signed, or even just a handshake. Needless to say, it was a great time.

Not to mention, it was a charity event for Gillette Childrens' Hospital. God Bless those children, they honestly play baseball with more determination and cooridation than i ever could. Their souls on are on fire.
