Hard drives, hard times.

This is my good buddy and Rhino pal, Angel Arnold. She manages all the media at Rhino and she's embellishing a little bit for this photo. She really really likes her job.

I made this meme today featuring Rhino Intern, Nick Benitez.

The North Carolina Wedding.

I had the extreme pleasure/honor/joy/privilege of creating a wedding video for my wife's cousin, Katie Bischoff, at her beautiful wedding in Charlotte, NC this weekend.

Since I was shooting all my video on my Canon 5D Mark III, I snagged a couple of pretty moments via photo as well. I'm still transcoding media for the video, but I wanted to share some of the photos, as she looked absolutely fab.

I don't normally like to take photos while shooting video at weddings because I don't want to ever step on the photographer's toes. But I know that she is in good hands, as her photographer, Julie Laible, was really awesome to work with. Check her out at http://julialaiblephotography.com/

The Bride - March 23

I love how this photo turned out. Lauren just looks classy.




Kalamazoo Gals - March 24

I was blessed to be a part of this lunch event at the Kalamazoo House with John Thomas, who wrote a book about women who went to work for the Gibson guitar factory during World War II.
The guitar featured is a 1943 Gibson Banner Acoustic.

I was there filming for a short video and possible documentary, so only shot a select few stills.

The Labrador - March 13

Somehow, by cosmic coincidence, I was ready to take a photo at a 1.2 aperture in dim lighting and she sat still for a moment.

This is my wife. - March 18

This is my wife, Anna, who I often call Annie. She is a cutie. 

This was taken in the parking lot of Los Amigos before we headed to Grand Rapids for Art Prize last summer/fall. 





Lighthouse + Sunset = Unicorns - March 17

If you've been following since the beginning, you will know that this is only the second time I've ever broken my "no lighthouse" rule. But, hey, when magic happens, you gotta pay your admission. 
(I don't know what that means).
