I hadn’t gotten up early lately to shoot a sunrise, and I’ve been really jealous of the crew at NSOP always heading out on the east coast, so I decided I’d shoot one around me.  I got up about 4:30, headed to Grant Park, shot, and was back in bed by 7.  Here’s a couple favs.

This next one I’ve called “Littering Dirtbags”.  Click the picture to go to its flickr page which has a bit more description.  Needless to say I was bummed that people don’t pick up after themselves.

I did some exploring yesterday on the motorcycle around SE Wisconsin.  Nothing spectacular photo wise.  I did however get about 5 pictures with Rustic Road signs (the numbered ones), the deal is if you get pictures with 10 of them and send them to the state, they will give you a patch that says “Wisconsin Rustic Road Motorcycle Tour” or something like that.  Not anything I really need but neat anyway.  Here’s a typical shot.

Here’s the new cards - designed them online and although I’m not happy with the purplish color on the back, they were insanely cheap ($8 for 1000) so I can’t complain.

Shot this yesterday, like it, thought I’d share.

Kris and I went up to the Apostle Island’s National Lakeshore last weekend and went to the ice caves near Myer’s Beach.  It was awesome.

for more click any of these and browse my flickr page.  I shot a TON.

I went out to shoot on Saturday morning.  It was cold, about 2 degrees at the lakefront, and a little wind, but it was good to get out and shoot.  I also found somebody’s cell phone out there, but I haven’t gotten it to turn on yet, I’ll probably bring it to a sprint store since its worthless to me anyway.

I attended the Run to Read Half Marathon to watch my wife Kris run her first half marathon last weekend.  Here’s pics I took - lots are of her but I got some of the whole field.

To Kris - I’m proud of you, great job finishing your first!

Click any of the pics to go to a flickr page for that pic.  They are in a set there on flickr.  If you like the shots and want a print, please email me directly.

I recently found out what the locals call this “thing in the lake in duluth”.  They call it the cribs.

I wanna go jump off of it this summer with the cool kids.

His name is Owen, and he was born in July. He’s really fun!
