We’ve found sand! We had to walk a mile from the ship to get to this beach.

First morning in Hawaii. I was still used to central standard time (-6:00 GMT), so by 4:30am in Hawai’ian time (-10:00 GMT) I could no longer sleep and got out of bed; the sun didn’t rise until about 5:50am.

My brother Merritt thinks it’s early…

This year has been filled with many events and responsibilities – Full-time employment, school, graduation, trip to Hawaii, marriage, moving – all of these are great; and all of these have helped contribute to a backlog of several thousand, unsorted, unedited, unblogged photographs. Over the last month I have removed the un’s from the aforementioned photographs, resulting in over one hundred that I’d like to show to you. These photographs are of my trip to Hawaii, my marriage, honeymoon, and various other things that I have seen during the last 6 months.

Starting with this post, I am going to begin posting several photographs every day; making up for all the posts I should have made earlier this year.

Don’t be shy – I welcome your thoughts, critique, and compliments – I’d love for you to comment.

This is my friend Joe Derse, and his mother; he graduated this May.

Also… It’s spring now. *grin*

I have shot a few weddings recently, which has bogged down my editing somewhat.  Here are 20 photographs from several of theses weddings.

The other day, my friends Paul Rohde and Peter Boysen decided to have an impromptu photo shoot to play with some of Paul’s new lighting gear. My girlfriend Alyson put up with us taking photographs and took a few herself.

Here are the results:

The last month went by with motion blur…. like when your camera is at 1/40th of a second and you are spinning in circles with a 300mm @ f2.8….

As some of you know, I started a full-time job with a company called Fastenal. I am their MS SQL Database Administrator. Consequently, I have been fairly busy lately, as it is summer and I have a “real job”. Right now I am in the Twin Cities at training for work thus providing me with some time to edit a month’s backlog of pictures.

Here are some good portraits I took last month. More updates to come soon.

I finally got a chance to edit some of my photographs form the last few weeks… So there should be a few updates over the weekend. Here are some to get you started.
