This past weekend my dad, his friend, and my girlfriend came to visit. My dad drove from New Hampshire, his friend Bob drove from Dallas, Texas, and Jasmine flew into KC from Las Vegas. On top of all of that our friend Eric came to town to get tattooed and hang out for a night. It was a good time and I wish it didn’t have to end. I went on a bike ride with my dad and Bob and realized I’m probably not cut out for long distances on a road bike. Jasmine got tattooed by Gabe for 10 hours and got a sweet koi on her thigh. It was a good weekend, I wish every weekend was this good.

Weekend with Chappy
Posted in: Photography, partying
This past weekend our good friend Josh “Chappy” Chapman came to town to guest spot at our shop. Josh is a phenomenal tattooer who works at Iron Age in St. Louis. While he was here we partied and hung out, and of course I brought my camera along for almost all of it.

So last night I went to my friend’s Corey, Sam, and Chase’s place for a “Party In The USA” theme party. They had a DJ and shit got real wild. After the party I headed back downtown to my apartment where a raging after bars party was taking place. More photos and links to the sets after the link…

Partying in Colorado
Posted in: Photography, partying
Four years have gone by since I last snowboarded. Snowboarding used to be my life, it brought me more joy than anything else ever has, and I never quite realized it till recently. There is just something so free and creative about snowboarding, and it puts my mind at ease. I’ve missed it so much, and have been re-bitten by the snowboarding bug. This last week I was in Colorado, snowboarding at Keystone and Breckenridge. While I would have loved to take my camera out on the mountain and snap some photos, a few factors kept me from doing so. First and foremost, I didn’t want to risk damaging any of my equipment out on the slopes, but more importantly, I needed to just ride and be free from everything for a few days. It was bliss, it was euphoria, it was just what the doctor ordered I think. Regardless, you can’t ride the mountain all day, and when the sun goes down in the mountains, the evenings get wild. I partied with old friends, made some new friends, and took a bunch of photos of the partying along the way. A big thank you, and much appreciation to anyone who let me crash at their place this week, I owe you one!

Halloween 2009
Posted in: Photography, partying, portraiture
We had a huge party for Halloween, I set up a quick little “photo booth” and also roamed around and took photos… Unfortunately I partied a little too hard and too much and only took roughly 60 useable photos before I passed out.

Oktoberfest 2009
Posted in: Photography, partying
This man is my good friend Chukwuma Nwaomah, but we just call him “Chux” (pronounced Chooks).If there is one thing my man Chux is good at, that’s getting a party started. It was hard to pick the header photo for this update, because quite frankly I had so many I really enjoyed, but I finally settled on this one, because I felt it really just captured the energy of what exactly happened on Saturday. For anyone confused as to what’s going on here’s the basic run down.
Every October the town of Hermann, MO, a small quiet town known for it’s wineries and rich in German heritage, hosts Oktoberfest. One Saturday out of the month we get on buses around 10-11am and begin partying. We arrive in Hermann about an hour later and party all day at the wineries, then head home on the buses again. That’s just the basic run down, to really truly understand and appreciate it all you really just have to be there. I tried my best again this year to document it all, and I’m really happy with how a lot of the photos came out. More photos after the jump.
