This weekend I traveled to Birnamwood to visit my parents and took a short detour to the Eau Claire Dells to see the raging river. I just realized that I’m nowhere near finishing up processing all the photos I took there, so I’m just posting one in celebration of our fine weather this week! There are more to come, as well as some highlights from Sara and Adam’s wedding out on a frozen lake!

This week I was excited to receive some jewelry from a former bride, Terri Jegerski of Nineteen Thirteen Custom Jewelry. I photographed her wedding in Lake Geneva about two years ago. I received a pair of silver “molten earrings”…and I can’t even describe them any better than that - they really are molten!
Classy packaging!
Molten!
You can wish Terri (and her husband Dan) a happy anniversary on August 1, and find more of Terri’s custom jewelry on her Etsy Store at http://nineteenthirteen.etsy.com.
Thank you Terri!

I was organizing some files today and I came across some scanned photos that were taken by my great-grandmother.
When my great-grandmother (”Grandma Bee”) passed away many years ago, we found that she had saved boxes upon boxes of photos. Most were photos of my grandpa growing up, but there were also photos of her family and travels. By digging through the boxes I learned that she loved to travel, and she loved photography, just like me! It was enlightening to know that she shared the same passions as I do, and I only wish she could have been here to see it!
In the early 1940’s, Grandma Bee traveled to California and took some amazing photos of what I believe are some Ford Model A’s crossing the Oakland Bay Bridge. It still amazes me that she took these photos, because at that time they were just a bunch of cars on a bridge. Maybe she saw it as more than that, maybe not. But how many people today would even think of taking photos of today’s cars crossing a bridge? And if you did, how many people 50+ years from now will think the cars look “antique” and “cool”?
I really don’t know what it is that drew me to these photos…but it always makes me smile when simple everyday things that many people take for granted become something more via a photograph.
Below is the photo I ended up enlarging to a 36-inch gallery-wrap canvas print, and for the past three years I’ve had it hanging on my office wall. Its more than just a decoration to me — it’s an inspiration!
