Undergraduate hijinks

After our crazy week in Chicago at the Jerry Ghionis workshop, we hopped on down to visit Jennifer's brother Ryan in Indiana. He goes to DePauw University, a beautiful little place in the middle of nowhere. We had fun seeing his friends' band and generally engaging in hijinx such as hallway frisbee and cooking up some incredibly tasty crispy beef at midnight. Ah, college!



This is Ryan, Jennifer's bro. Doesn't this one look like a painting? The background looks totally out of perspective, like a naive painter or some seventies surrealist realist.




Using some of our refreshed skillz from the workshop, it was inspiring!




I had the band (The Doppler Effect) do an impromptu band photo after their set.


































The obligatory random drawer full of saltines in Ryan's kitchen, of course.

August Teens CD release partay pics

Jennifer and I went on a date the other day, and we started it off by stopping by the CD release concert of an old friend of mine (Dan) and his band, The August Teens. It was a really fun show, as always--thanks dudes!

Likely Stories

We did a shoot last Thursday for Likely Stories , our favorite local acoustic eclectic trio! They have a new cd in the bag and they were in need of a picture for the cover. They were pretty wacky, but serious--right up our alley! Hopefully the owners of these community garden plots don’t mind that we incorporated their wheelbarrow and shovel!

Instruments as flowers. . .



What fertile imaginations!


You reap what you sow?






Also, for those who are into it, check out my first animated GIF! It's the band swatting away mosquitoes as we try to get a shot laying on the ground.
