I recently got to catch up with my good friend Michael Zarowny, for a hot second in Manhattan. Michael was fresh of the plane and had the clothing he performs in for his project Mood Killer, so we did some impromptu portraits. This is what we got in a short while. New York City, NY | 07-24-2016

It was really fun catching up with my friends Dorian & Weston (if you haven’t seen their newest music video you’re effing up!) who I hadn’t seen for a year! Here’s a few pics from us wandering around Lower Manhattan. New York City, NY | 07-21-2016

I took my first trip to Coney Island this week with my friend Kolby. It was a bit different than I imagined, but I guess my main reference is the final fight scene in The Warriors. Here are a few from our visit out there. New York City, NY | 07-21-2016

Patti Smith played a free show at Damrosch Park as part of the Lincoln Center Out of Doors series. She was joined by Lenny Kaye, Tony Shanahan, and her daughter Jesse Smith. I always love seeing Patti and felt very luck to have this show fall in the short window that I was in New York. New York City, NY | 07-20-2016

This week our family said farewell to a home that has been the site of laughs, gathering, and food for over 30 years. We celebrated one last family gathering in a place we all hold dear. These are a sampling of some portraits taken that day. Omaha, NE | 07-10-2016

My cousin Terry got married last week. Saw a lot of cousins I haven’t seen for awhile. I snapped a few fun pictures of us mostly laughing at Face Swap and hitting the bar after the reception. Here are my favorites. Omaha, NE | 07-09-2016

I was inspired and happy to see so many Omahans come out to the Black Lives Matter protest yesterday. Although some of the photos show an ominous scene, the protest was peaceful and occurred without incident from police. I hope the community in Omaha stays engaged and makes sure that the spirit of the movement doesn’t fade after the recent killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile are no longer playing in the 24 hour news cycle.

It was really great to get back to Chicago after so long. I got to see a lot of dear friends and see all my favorite spots. These are just a few shots on expired film I took on my trip.

I had the pleasure of visiting Memphis last week for my cousin Tom’s wedding. I brought a Mamiya 645 Pro with me. Here are a few snaps from the Wedding and my tourist outings. I stopped by Graceland, Sun Studio, Beale Street (happened upon a George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic concert), and the National Civil Rights Museum.

Had the pleasure of seeing Shannon and The Clams with Nathan Ma & The Rosettes perform aboard the River City Star on the Missouri River. It was a perfect day for a boat show, I snapped a few pics. Looking forward to many boat shows to come this summer! Omaha, NE | 05-15-2016
