We are photographers.

 

Artcrank

I’ve been meaning to get around to posting a recap of the Artcrank poster show for awhile now.  This years show was another great success.  They stopped counting people at 835, but conservative estimates of the total attendance go up to about 1,000.
Five posters sold out on opening night. And more are headed that way.  If you weren’t able to get down to the opening night the show runs through Saturday, May 3.

Rush River Bubblejack IPA kept everyone in great spirits.

It was good seeing a lot of Morc regulars.

This photo doesn’t even do the size of the crowd justice.  At one point it took me fifteen minutes just to get from the back to the front of the building.

The crowd stretched down the block.

More photos after the jump.
 

Photography Mixer

Laura and I joined eight other talented photographers from the area to get together to talk shop, have lunch, take some photos of each other, learn new techniques and just generally get to know some new photographers. We had a lot of fun getting to know everyone and are looking forward to a future meet-up. I didn’t take a lot of photos but here are a few that I did (click the photos to enlarge). I’ll get Laura to put up some as well. Thanks everyone for the great time!

First ride of the season

The first official mountain bike trail is open in Minnesota. I took the dogs to work and then met up with Pete Ryan afterwards for a few laps. The trails were in great shape with only one twenty foot section that was still muddy. Now if the temps would just warm up a bit more so it didn’t feel so much like fall out there.

Was able to use my remote trigger for my camera. Still need to work out some kinks but I’m looking to taking a lot of self portrait riding shots this year.

 Afterwards we caught up with Chris Druckenmiller for a few beers in the parking lot.

Public Enemies

Downtown Oshkosh has been turned back to the 1930’s for the filming of Public Enemies . The movie stars Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. Unfortunately while we were there they were filming out at the airport on a closed set and were not planning to shoot downtown until later in the week. We still went down to check out what all the fuss was about.

 They have laid down hard rubber fake cobblestone on the streets.

Wait that’s not a real wall! 🙂
