Bigger than Christmas!

Sam-I-AM

Steampunk ala S.O.S

 Every year I make my boys costumes. S has always been deeply involved. I love I can see his drawing and work with him to make it work.

I would also like to add, S is wearing MY BOOTS! MINE!

Like it our not it's true,

Thank You SFO for the reminder.

Paul vs. the Redwoods

The Redwoods won.

Beach Boys

I think I take so many pictures of my boys because I know, eventually that's the only way I'm going to be able to hold them.

Last evening Santa Cruz 2011

Labor Day Play

All of these objects I've found in my neighborhood, some are from kids leaving their toys around

some are from older homes where the families are making room for newer and better.

Once again A&A Studios let me use their polaroid land camera.

Perfect Strangers- Santa Cruz

A morning that started with crap surf and cloudy skies worked in my favor.

Surfer boys were coming out of the water in droves.

These are the three I stopped to chat with.

  

Traveling with a random light leak

Between weddings for Studio Starling (nice plug Lizz)

I took a trip, armed with my Hasselblad 

and it's as of yet undiscoverd light leak

My two sons

We set off across America 52 hrs from 

Chicago to San Francisco.

No land speed records were set.

More than just fleas at the market

Greyslake, IL June 2011

Maybe he was a cowboy

This is work from my perfect strangers project. One frame, and I wasn't happy with the one frame. I was disappointed with myself. I was so excited and nervous when I shot this that I didn't take the time I should have it's dark. Not

what I had visualized.

 Now after some time, the portrait and I have made friends. It's not perfect but it's mine.

This was his land, I felt it told a story about him as well.

My Home is of the Sea

This isn't actually my home, but reminded me of the lake I lived on as a kid.
This lake can be found in Vermont.

How much

Is that doggie in your window?

Aces!

In an attempt to escape the snow, myself and a friend headed WEST and nott just any west.

To Palm Springs to be exact.

We stayed at the Ace Hotel and Swim Club

To say I was inspired by my stay could be an understatement.

Stay tuned there is more to come

It's all UUSI to me!

I had the great pleasure of photographing Linnea and Peter the husband and wife

super duo of Uusi

There really isn't anything more fun to me than going around and photographing the

amazing talent we have in this fair city.

Not only are they creative these two make a mean batch of cookies.

Thanks you both for letting me into your studio!
