On Thursday, July 3rd, we took a family vacation to Bay Beach Park in Green Bay, WI.
A Miniature Train & Railroad Company G-16. For all you railroad nuts, this is a scale model of an EMD F2 locomotive in 16″ gauge.
Harrison’s reaction to the open air Pullman “Train of Tomorrow” style coaches.

What would summer be like with out some ketchup…
…and mustard?
Messy hands.
1956 Williams Crane, still in operation.
Stay tuned in for the next post if you like bands like Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons, Blueheels, and Lamont Cranston.
Summer is finally here, so you know what that means…. All of the summer items are on clearance at the stores. With that in mind, we headed out to a local store to find some good deals. Shanna and I came back with this awesome wadding pool type thing for Harrison. He has an absolute blast playing in it and can’t wait to use it again.
On the night of Friday, June 5th, my Jeep was broken into and the theives tried to steal the stereo. They were unsuccessful, but did manage to cause over $2,000.00 trying to get it.
Here are some “as found” images of the Jeep before the PD arrived on location.
The investigation is still on-going, so if you know of suspecious activity on the north side of Appleton, please contact APD.
Being a true child of the 80’s, I had to clear my schedule for Thursday night and go and see the new Indiana Jones flick. I think they did a real good job with the cinematography and technical aspects, however I am not a big sci-fi fan and I felt that it was a bit to sci-fi for me. I do appreciate sticking to the 50’s era and working the aliens (No, I didn’t really spoil the plot there) into the movie. I mean, the 50’s were all about Greasers, Preps, Commies, Sen. Joe McCarthy, A-bombs, UFO’s, and Government cover-ups. I feel that the plot stayed true to that feeling, I just don’t care for sci-fi.
And of course, there are the few, the proud, and the brave that venture out on grand opening night dressed as their favorite character. This was the best Indy Imitator that was at the theater last night. Not the best I’ve seen, but not bad for A-town.

It finally happened today at 9:53pm. I have been waiting for 9 years for this moment to come.
When I first bought my 2000 Jeep Wrangler it fell in love with me. It wanted to go everywhere I went. It was willing to take me into (and out of) some of the muddiest places I have ever been in. It has taken me and my wife on dates and to work everyday. It has been my faithful steed, always ready for the next adventure. I knew this moment would come. I kept thinking about it like a schoolboy waits for Santa, just to see him in person.
My Jeep has now finally safely carried me over 100,000 miles! Aside from regular maintenance and a few repairs from a couple of crashes (all not my fault) it has served me exceptionally well.
When I look at the Jeep I think of it as not just a means of transportation, but as a vessel that holds many memories, not unlike a photograph. Looking at the Jeep takes me back to different periods in my life, just like when I look at my wedding pictures. It is amazing how objects, such as Jeeps or pictures, touch us so deeply.
This is getting too deep, I’m outta here….

Well I made it back from Vegas all in one piece. My wallet is a bit lighter and I have many photos to edit, but I am back home. Vegas is a great place to visit, but 5 days was too long. If it weren’t for the great people I met out in the desert it would have been a rough week. Once I sift through all the images I’ll be sure to post them up here for you.

Today will be the first day I ever set foot in Nevada, let alone Las Vegas. I will be attending the Wedding & Portrait Photographers International’s 2008 Convention & Trade Show. I will be traveling with David E Jackson and Adam Koepke. I am so stoked to not only get away from the monotony of my regular 8 to 4 but also to be a part of the 10,000 photographers descending on Vegas for the week. Look for daily updates from Vegas.
