It is important to unplug. I have a very hard time doing this. One of my favorite unplugs of the year is our trip up to my in-laws cabin, up in Marinette, WI. It is easy to unplug up there… no tv, the phone doesn’t really work, so it gets turned off, no computers… just peace, light, plants, animals, a quirky little town, family, a camera and some film.

For the geeks. Voigtlander Bessa R3M with the CV Nokton 50mm 1.1 – Film is some really old Konica Minolta 400 VX

I had the chance to meet with a future wedding client a couple weeks ago at their future wedding venue… which just happens to be a boat. Really excited for this wedding, as I have never photographed a wedding on a boat before. New things are always exciting. The fog was amazing, the air was calm, the feeling in the air was refreshing and pure… and of course I couldn’t not make some photographs…

A few more images from Florida. Here there is a mix of Clearwater and St Petersburg, Florida.

Grabbed a couple clips from Becca and David’s wedding as we were photographing it. Key moments were photographed… as we did not have anyone dedicated to shoot video… However, I have been wanting to make more films, so I tried to capture the essence of the day in video anyways… So I made this super secret surprise for Becca and David… their wedding film:

The last couple of days we have been out photographing with clients… It is May in Wisconsin, and it is cold. Here and there, though, you see spring trying to poke through. I decided to take a little walk around my neighborhood to see if I could find some spring… Here is what I found:
