NES Art Repro: The Legend of Kage

Cecilia Jane: The First 7 Weeks

Prints: Farm Fog

Back in October of last year, I went on the Hidden Studios Art Tour near Amherst in Wisconsin. That morning there was a heavy fog hanging in the air. Super ominous, but totally comforting at the same time. It was one of those fall days that was damp and cool, comfortable as long as I kept moving. "Crisp" would be a generous description. The damp gets into your bones if you sit still for too long. It was that kind of morning, something only a true child of the north can love.

One of the studio sites was in an old barn in the Amherst area. One of those barns that had tons of character to it that can only be carved into each plank by long exposure to the ever variable Wisconsin climate. I captured a few great shots and threw a cross process curve over the top of the images in Photoshop. Below are the resulting images, and the prints displayed fully framed in their new home in my living room. The images were printed on metallic paper stock which is brilliant in the right light, the photo below does not do them full justice.

Midwest Gaming Classic 2013

An absolutely stellar event that comes to Brookfield WI every March that draws in hundreds from around the country. Unlimited free play on all sorts of pinball machines, arcade cabinets, computers, and consoles. A vendor hall with some of the best deals on used gaming everything and anything. Ladies and gentlemen, a selection of my favorite pics from Midwest Gaming Classic 2013.

The farther north you go from MKE, the more amazing the sky looks. My Powershot s95 is hardly capable of doing this sky proper justice.

Senior Picture Project 2012: Part 2

Photos capture by Annette Jarnig.

The purpose of this project is to hook up some Highschool seniors with quality pictures that their families wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise. It has become a goofy standard in American culture to spend hundreds to thousands of hard earned dollars on Senior pictures. Not everyone can pull this off, but everyone deserves to have amazing pictures to be able to swap with the kids they have spent their entire educational career growing up along side.
