it took a month to get (all the way from the Netherlands) but having this beautiful hand crafted 100% walnut, extremely light iphone case was absolutely worth the wait. and with my engraved logo on the back, i highly recommend!

one of the coolest concerts i’ve been to was the modest mouse show at the house of blues in chicago about 6 years ago (thus the picture… house of blues is at the bottom of this building). my daughter has been a modest mouse fan since she was 3. now 13, she’s old enough to go to the concert with me next wednesday. she found out i got her tickets tonight and she was blown away. the show is at marquee here in phoenix – a great place to see your first show. i believe tickets are still on sale if you want to meet us there. it’s the second tour since the new album so hopefully they’ll play some of the older tracks this time around. mimicking birds (who i’ve only found out out about because of the show) is opening for them and i’m really digging the “album”. lyrically, he reminds me of early modest mouse albums.
here are some older modest mouse tracks i’d love to here…

and for those keeping track, the picture above is of chicago’s marina city. i took this summer ’08. it’s using one of the new actions/presets we’re developing. and as always, click the pic to download full size.
…but it’s almost time to come home. this image is from the other afternoon and as you can see, it’s enhanced in lightroom and uses a bokeh texture. i’ve said it before but it’s true, these effects are on their way to you all. you’re going to love them.
*oh yeah, you can download this as a full size JPG – just click the pic
hollye (hollye schumacher photography) asked if i could come shoot some details at wedding a few weeks ago. i love shooting details. the shoot also gave me a chance to test out a few more of my lightroom presets (similar to photoshop actions). these will be included when the release of photoshop actions next year.
