DN football

so, we had a football game with some DN people. i just liked this one because his face was in focus, and it is uncropped. i get happy when i have photos in focus.

Kosuke Koiwai

Looking through some old photos instead of working, i found one of mi amigo Kris. sigh, i miss him, along with everyone else i grew up with at the DN. i've found out that i get depressed when i am not shooting enough. damn editing. i really, really need to shoot some more. but, a project i have been working on (read:havent done a damn thing except say that i am starting it) is finally coming together. i will be shooting a magician. and he has something that launches fire. hahahahaha!!!

coffeeeeeeee!!!!!!

photo illustration on that wonderous hot drink.

time to shoot some more

yes, i admit it, this is an old photo. i just felt a need to post something. what'cha gonna do about it? i need to shoot more. i have been stuck down in that basement, only surfacing to shoot some stupid speaker photos every so often. sure, being an editor can be fun, but with a crazy large staff, i have no time to do what i love. as in shooting. tonight, i go shoot some photos of ted kooser, so that should be fun. i think this will be about the 7th time i have shot the kooze's photo.

some fun with the 400

some USC action

Went down to LA to shoot the USC game, you know, the one where they kicked the 'skers booty. get that? i said booty, like USC's quarterback John David Booty. Ha, i'm so clever.

Some football action

So, the Nicholls State football game was wet, cold, and miserable. It did not stop raining for the entire game. Sigh. Good news, however, because this weekend i will be shooting in sunny california at the USC game. And yes, that is rain falling off them.

Highschool Football

Some buddys and I went down to auburn to watch some highschool football. good times. and yeah, i know the bottom one is not really sharp. what you gonna do about it?

robot.....ahhh!!!!!!

This is what happens when idiots (including me) have too much time and energy on their hands. we make a robot. from a cardboard box. it's like i'm 7. god, i love being me.

p.s. you can wear the robot suit. and kill all humans. or just enslave them.

Hallelujah (Hopluia)

O, how i love beer. I went down to Cortland to shoot some photos of the guy who makes hopluia and foggen lager. Very nice guy. You should pay him back for being such a nice guy by drinking his nice beers. I know i do.

I'm gettin old

Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Rogge. Matt has always been a good friend of mine, and he was wed to Shae this saturday. fantastic light, how can you go wrong?

sing us a song, you're the piano (wo)man

I WANNA ROCK!

I wanna rock! (Rock)
I wanna rock! (Rock)
I want to rock (Rock)
I wanna rock! (Rock)

Turn it down you say,
Well all I got to say to you is time again I say, "No!"
No! No, No, No, No, No!
Tell me not to play
Well, all I got to say to you when you tell me not to play,
I say, "No!"
No! No, No, No, No, No!
So, if you ask me why I like the way I play it
There's only one thing I can say to you

I wanna rock! (Rock)
I wanna rock! (Rock)
I want to rock (Rock)
I wanna rock! (Rock)

There's a feelin' that
I get from nothin' else and there ain't nothin' in the world
That makes me go!
Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
Turn the power up
I've waited for so long so I could hear my favorite song so,
Let's go!
Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
When it's like this I feel the music shootin' through me
There's nothin' else that I would rather do

I wanna rock! (Rock)
I wanna rock! (Rock)
I want to rock (Rock)
I wanna rock! (Rock)

On July 6, Christa Buettner, at right, will be having surgery to have a quarter of her lower liver removed to give to her six month old nephew Trey Gulzow. Gulzow has a condition called Biliary Atresia, which causes a build up of bile in the liver. Without a transplant or treatment, babies with Biliary Atresia rarely live past age two. At left, Trey's sister Emma, 6, plays on the floor with him.

my god, was my last update really in may? what have i been doing? don't answer that. so, photos. i've been shooting as a part time staff photo journalist at the Lincoln Journal Star. they have treated me quite well, and i only have a week left. i'd put some photos up on this post, but all my photos are on my external hard drive at home, so when i get there, it shall be so.

Every other year, students, grades fourth through sixth, of Merridian, a school outside of Daykin, NE, hold a civil war recreation. weeks go into the preparation, including lessons on battle tactics, authentic dress, and general history lessons. They even included a cannon, stuffed with firecrackers and smoke bombs to simulate the explosions. Mock amputations were preformed, along with large amounts of fake blood and limbs.
