Career Day at Battle Creek Middle School

May 28, 2008

Not long ago, I had the opportunity to talk with a few classes of kids at Battle Creek Middle School about being a professional photographer. It was career day, and the kids were hearing about everything from engineering jobs to positions in social work. I thought I was keeping everyone pretty interested with my presentation until a student expressed some pretty serious disappointment after hearing that I was not a “celebrity photographer” and that I had no idea who the Jonas Brothers were. The day was a lot of fun and it was a riot interacting with the kids.

A New Season

May 12, 2008

It’s been a long winter, but warmth and a new website have finally arrived. The kids have been bouncing off the walls and I have the shots to prove it and a place to put them. When you spend six months perfecting your bouncing on the bed technique, you start to get some good air.

This new site, created by friend and design talent, Sean Tubridy, blueoverblue.com, will be much easier to update than the old, so check back in once in a while to see new imagery and find out what’s been happening in our studio and the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District.
