Sights & Sounds From The Emerald Isle...

Ireland is full of things that inspire us. Sometimes, still photographs only begin to tell the story...
While shooting stills on location in Ireland last month, I took the opportunity to shoot some motion
that could show off some things that sometimes a still photo can not capture as well. It was a blast shooting
and hopefully at the end of the day tells a story of both traditional and modern stories in Ireland.

Quite a bit of motion going on at the moment, all of which will be shared as it becomes available.
Thanks again to everyone who helped out on the shoot and to Stevie Kane from One Light Collective

Stay posted for more soon...

Telling Stories...

Proud to say that the International Institute of Minnesota has launched a new website.
I have been able to work with them over the last few years telling stories of immigrants coming to
the United States for the first time from Burma to Somalia and beyond. Still images can keep our attention
in a unique way, allowing us a quick insight into their lives & stories. Which is why I love doing what I do. Shegitu who is featured on the home page is a perfect example of an amazing story that is more common than you would think. We pass these stories on the street every day.

The Institute is well worth checking out, especially their marquee event the Festival of Nations in early May. We'll be working on a still & motion project at the Festival this year, stay tuned for updates...

The State Of Hockey...

Minnesota really is the state of hockey. One of the biggest youth hockey tournaments in the world happens every spring in St. Paul. The MSHL tourney is really a unique event to be at, to shoot & to experience. I had the pleasure of shooting with Bauer again this year capturing the event and moments that make this tourney so special. As always, it was a great time and an awesome shoot. Just a few stills from the event...

Keep posted as we are getting close to debuting some of our recent motion shoots. Check back, they're really starting to take shape...

Hot Off The Press...

New books are in! Should be out on the town soon. Really happy with how they turned out, you'll have to see for yourself...

Till then, getting some estimates out and getting gear in order for a shoot at the end of the week...

Getting Back In The MPLS Groove...

Back in the Twin Cities after a couple of great weeks on the road. So many people to thank for their help... thanks Ja, Finbar, Malachy, Tommy, Kristen, basket guy, Lisa, Eilén, Sam, the 40 foot crew and those helpful people staying above me in Oslo.

Starting to rummage through a lot of images, just posting a quick taste of a shoot in Dublin at a place called the 40 foot. Great humor, scenery and people were a plenty there, making for some great stills. Located just south of Dublin, the 40 foot is home to swimmers year round who take in the salty sea water to jump start their systems...

Hoping to get the motion on this project rolling soon, will be posting in the next few weeks as it becomes available.
As for now, back shooting in Minneapolis again... new portfolios are off to the printer today too...
