I spent an awesome afternoon with Mike and Claire, shooting their engagement pics this past Saturday. After a few tall cups of coffee at Copper Rock, we spent an hour walking around town, hanging out and sharing plenty of laughs. Mike and Claire are a couple truly after my tastes in art and music. Claire is a graphic designer with plenty of amazing clients under her belt. With some luck, Claire and I will connect this summer to develop a branding scheme for my photo life. And Mike... I've known Mike for a few years, as he's been with Sunday Flood...one of my all time fav local bands in Wisconsin. Larry and I went out to shoot their promos a few years back. If it wasn't for Mike, I wouldn't have known that a surf board could truly make an interesting promo shoot. (See my promo portfolio gallery on my site..)
So, here I am. Dave. I make pictures. Pictures are in my blood and all around everyone of us at any given moment. I live for simple, yet fulfilling pleasures. The typical material entrapments of most people are irrelevant to me. Of course, I enjoy the occasional merlot, Sapporo, or New Glarus beer. Family means everything to me. I typically listen to NPR radio, jazz, and what I consider "intelligent music." I collect vinyl (you know, the big 'ol round
records that your parents told you about years ago.) I hate to run, but find myself doing it almost daily. I never thought I'd be that guy. Classic horror movies, and anything Tom Hanks, M Night Shyamalan, and David Fincher is a complete draw to me. Hello Kitty scares the loving bejesus out of me! JUST DAMN! I'd rather my daughter watch Saving Private Ryan...
I'm Dave, and really....that's all that matters. I love people, period.
Go buy an ISIS, Tool or Meshuggah record sometime. Listen repeatedly.
