Matt and Jenny Proposal

November 22, 2009

Everyone’s getting married! Another one of the brothers from my fraternity, Matt (who graduated a little while back), came down from Chicago to propose to his girlfriend at the spot by an illiosk on the quad that they used to meet at after class. Scottie let me know about it the night before and thought that it would be a cool idea to creep on them through my lens like I did with Adam. However, we had no idea when they were coming or how they were going to be positioned. Nonetheless, it was still a really neat little moment to see from 50 yards away. I wish I had been creeping from a closer spot, and at a better angle, but such is life.

THIS. AIN’T. SPARTA!!

October 5, 2009

Here’s a quick t-shirt design I made tonight for my house. The hardest part was pen-tooling out Gerard Butler, for everything else I found free vectors on the internets. There isn’t a theme for homecoming this year (I wonder who dropped the ball on that one), so we decided to do a “300″-based float since we’re playing Michigan State (Spartans). Except the tables have turned. The ethnically offensive Chief Illiniwek will be kicking the lock-jawed Sparty the Spartan into a strategically-placed bottomless pit to his own doom. Or enjoyment. One could consider the fall to be like a never-ending ride on 6 flag’s giant drop, and more flags, more fun, ya know? PS. I love Adobe Illustrator.

Bezdon/Ives Wedding

July 6, 2009

So my friends Kyle and Lauren finally got married and I made the trek out to Rockford for the reception. I had a lot of fun and got to see a lot of my friends from school in the middle of summer for once. This is the first reception I’ve been to solely as a guest since I started doing photo gigs professionally so it was a little weird for me to figure out what boundaries I should or should not cross. I tried my best to not be a creepo and take a billion shots of everything like I normally do at weddings, and let the hired photog do her job (although, I was pretty peeved when I saw her using the Live-View function on her 40D instead of the viewfinder for ’standard’ shots. C’mon!). Anyhow, it was an awesome time, we rocked out to Michael Jackson, Cha-Cha slide, and the usual SPD fanfare.
