In Need of a Fresh Start

The recent trip to NYC was amazing. I got to spend 5 glorious days with my best friend Erin, and partying and shooting with the most kick-ass of rockstars. I needed this trip more than I thought, and I think Erin would agree that she needed this fun break.

I could digress and go into every detail of the trip, but photos tell more than I could ever in words.









I'm so grateful to have made the connections I have in this short year. My life is changing very rapidly. It makes me wonder where my life will be next year...


Here is more Metric. Can never get enough.


Can't stand by myself
Hate to sleep alone
Surprises always help
So I take somebody home
To find out how I feel
Feel like just a baby
Portrait of a lady
Poster of a girl

Satisfy myself
Avoid beginners
Who long to shut my mouth
Till I take one of them home
'Cause I know how it feels
Filling in the blanks
Looking on the bright side
When there is no bright side
Coming in your pants
For the off chance
With a poster of a girl

It has to start somewhere

It's the new fad - everyone's doing it. Might as well jump on the bandwagon.

I got back from New York City late Saturday night after a long, productive week with eleven shoots squeezed in there somewhere. All of those shoots were fabulous and I got to work with some fucking awesome and crazy-talented people. And as a first-timer to the Big Apple... it was a bit of sensory overload, but I'm addicted. Now I just want to get my pictures...but I'll have to wait. I was shot with more film than ever before. But "I'm not complaining, I'm bragging."

Rumor is that I will be heading back within a few weeks. Fuck yes. (Hopefully with Erin)
Anything to get out of soggy, sloppy Minneapolis for a while.

I'm waiting for the sun.
