Title: Pouring It On.One of my favorite shots from a recent city profile done on J. Gardella’s Tavern, located in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Title: Blowing One’s Horn.I’ve been really into my portraits being to either a far left or far right of the composition… if I had to guess why I’d say it’s probably due to the amount of portraits I’ve done lately for design/print/ad publications.Having said that… I kinda like how it looks.

Title: Eric Daigh.I guess you could say that Eric Daigh’s TEDxGrandRapids speech was a touch controversial… but hello, what do you expect when you ask a creative to talk to an audience. Having said that - I for one ENJOYED what he had to say, and pretty much agreed with everything that came out of his mouth to the visual “FUCK YOU” that graced overhead screen. At the end of the day… I enjoyed it.
