Stephen & Ivana

I had a great time shooting this wedding with Ian Zinner. Ian and I traveled up to the northern tip of Michigan (almost Canada) to see Stephen & Ivana get married. They are an amazing couple with a lot of happy years ahead of them.  Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day!

Time Lapse Stills

Here are some of the still images from my timelapse video! It took me one day and a lot of walking to shoot all of it. 'nooga!

'nooga

My first official time lapse video. Shot it all within one day. I'd like to shoot more but I have to get an intervalometer first. Thanks to Brian C. for letting me use his! Enjoy!

My Very Own 'Stache

I generally don't just post pictures of myself but I'm proud because I now have a MUSTACHE. I wish it was cooler but that's all I got. I'll let it grow a little longer and see what happens.

(De)motivational Poster

My friend Rob, who is a paramedic, is beginning to volunteer at the local fire department. He recently got his uniform for the fire department and wanted to take a picture to celebrate. I called a friend and got a baby to enhance the picture. The tag line for this (de)motivational poster was Rob's idea.

Abandoned

I've seen this house and been there once. It's in a random location in a field in Florida. I went with my friend Jason to take some pictures before we left the area.

My New Toy

I recently purchased a new lens & I'm really excited to use it. Not that it's anything revolutionary or anything, but I'm just happy to have it. I got the Canon 50mm f/1.8 MARK I....that's right mark I not mark II. This lens is kind of a rare find. Made for only 3 or 4 years, Canon discontinued it in 1990 so there is only a limited number of these. I decided to get get this because I like the construction with metal mounts, distance meter, and focus ring in the middle (as opposed to plastic mounts, no distance meter, and focus ring in the front on the 1.8 mark II). I don't want to discredit the mark II by any means. It's a sharp lens for the price, but I got this because I value those small things (on a budget). Wow I hope I'm not too nerdy. Can't wait to try this out!
