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.

The Bachelorette’s fourth season will premiere on Monday, May 19 at 8PM Central Time with DeAnna Pappas as the Bachelorette. If you watched the ABC hit series The Bachelor you will probably know DeAnna as the twice-rejected suitor of the eleventh season.
When she was still trying to win over Brad Womack, I received a call telling me to watch the final show as she was at a wedding I had photographed back in September 2007.
In case you haven’t been watching much TV lately, here is DeAnna Pappas:

Here are a couple of my shots showing DeAnna helping Dana and one of her bridesmaids get ready for Dana’s big day.
Good Luck DeAnna!

Congratulations Danielle and Jason! Married May 17th, 2008.

Catering: Apple Creek Inn
Cake: Strange, I didn’t see one all night

Photos will be up shortly. I shot some 35mm and have to develop them. Can’t wait to see what I got.
This past weekend I got to go out and shoot what the “season opener” wedding. Sure we have already shot a few weddings already this year, but this one marks the beginning of the official wedding season in Wisconsin. Game on!
Dave and I had a blast with this wedding. Rick and Jenna were a great couple to photograph and hang out with for the day. I wish them all the best in their journey through life together.

At the end of March I had the privilege of shooting my first first communion. Andrew Olson is a great kid and I had a blast shooting the ceremony. It was held at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Menasha with Pastor Dee Sim. I hope Andrew continues his walk with God and grows stronger in his relationship with the Lord each day.
Congratulations Andrew!

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….

On September 19, 2007 I took Jamie’s senior photos for her. I knew a bit about her powerlifting from talking to her mother. I never knew what kind of powerlifter she was! Take a look at these impressive stats:
2008 State Champion - 242 class - Squat 475 lbs. - Bench 175 lbs. - Deadlift 410 lbs. - Total lifted 1060 lbs! WOW!
She could toss me around like a rag doll. But that is not all….. She was also the State Champion in 2007, 2006, and 2005. I am very honored to have taken Jamie’s pictures and hope she brings home the National Championship.
Since I didn’t have this fancy blog up last year I am going to post a few pictures of her here for your enjoyment. And remember guys….. she can outlift almost all of you.
This is the actual bar and weights she lifts. Just a bit more that I can… :) Good Luck Jamie!

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.
