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.

Now, enough of the shameless advertising. Here’s one more photograph…

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

Tomorrow there is a Winona State University Student Photography Show at the Winona Arts Center. I helped set up for it this evening as we hung 30 something pictures up in the gallery. Should be a fun show. You all should come out and see my picture…errr.. I mean, all the cool photographs. -smirk-

School is now done for a month…the madness will resume Jan 14th.
Until then, life will be lovely.

My grandparents visited last weekend to celebrate a couple of my siblings birthdays.

Then there was graduation for students who finished in December. I spent several hours taking pictures for work, getting pictures of happy, smiley students. Oh yea…

Despite the fact that i’m working, I can’t resist taking shots for my own pleasure. Go figure.

*Sigh*

Finals are this week at Winona State University. The week leading up to finals is always arduous, because there are myriads of projects and assignments due. While many people dread finals, I always dread the pre-finals week. Despite the hectic week, I did find a few moments were I wasn’t running around, and was able to shoot a few pictures.

I also had played in my studio a bit… I discovered a roll of med-blue paper that we have an over abundance of…So I put it to use.

In other news, we’ve had some interesting clouds the last few weeks ’round here. So I took a couple shots and used a graduated grey filter to help make things pop.

Annnnnd here are a few pics I found in the archives…
