With the death of my Motorola V3c RAZR last Sunday (by washing machine), I purchased a V3m RAZR. Unfortunately, Verizon chose to disable Bluetooth file transfer on the new version of the phone. So, unless I hack my phone, I will be unable to use phone images on my blog in the future. This stinks!
I’m speechless… I knew the iPhone was cool, but this is amazing. Only Apple could make something so amazingly integrated (argh, I’m turning into an Apple-head). If you have 20 minutes, watch this video.

I’m sure someone else has noticed this, but when I think of the Internet as the ultimate Tree of Knowledge, I find it curious that my computer is an Apple — and the “apple” has a bite out of it.
It’s a boy!

We finished up another week of Target today. The shoot was at a very large house in Kenwood, Minneapolis. It amazes me that people live in houses that huge.
There are more of Earl’s great images on Target.com, and the location ones should be up soon.
Tomorrow, Maria and I have an ultrasound (I’ll post images) and the Ai grad show, and this weekend I will be attending the Via Affirmativa gathering.
I’m taking a giant leap into nerd-dom here, but the upcoming Transformers movie has me excited like it’s Christmas Eve! The movie was originally planned for release on July 4th, but it has been moved forward a day to the 3rd. I plan on cheering loudly during the movie.

This week I worked for Chris Sheehan for the second time. Chris is a great guy to chat with, which makes for a pleasant working environment. He’s got a great studio, and he should because it’s available for rent. Today at 4pm he pulled a guitar out of the back and played until 4:30pm when he declared that it was time to go home. I have such a great job… maybe it shouldn’t even be called a job.
I don’t like combining multiple subjects into posts, but I’ve been too busy to be posting every day, so this post will be a compilation.
I’ve been friends with Dominic Schomberg for several years now, and I’ve always been intrigued with his parents’ family business. Last Thursday I drove down to Barre, WI, outside of La Crosse, to photograph the Schombergs’ Rottweiler farm. Mr. Schomberg has been a purebred hog breeder for a long time, so he knows what he’s doing.
This is Bart; he’s my favorite. He lives with one of the Schomberg kids:

It was just about the most perfect day to be shooting without strobes. The light was soft but still direct and there were puffy clouds everywhere. I’ll post more about the Schombergs when I finish the website I am working on for them.

Then, yesterday, my good friend Tim Chamberlain got married to Tara Bordewyk. I was one of the groomsmen. I brought my camera and took a few. Tim rented a Mustang for the wedding day:

Today was mostly slow, but we watched Blue, my parents’ dog, for a few hours. We took her on a walk to the park, and the moment we let her run she found a giant mud hole. She just wanted to cool off:
