I just wanted to post a quick shot of Lambeau Field from last nights NFL home opener between the Packers and the Saints. I was at the game last night but didn’t shoot game action like I usually do. Last night I shot an assignment for the Milwaukee Business Journal about the business side of an NFL football game. I will post those photos soon, but for now I give you Lambeau on opening night.

Last Thursday the Packers wrapped up their pre-season with a win against the Kansas City Chiefs. Now its time to get to the games that count. I hope this coming regular season is as good as last years was. Here are the photos. Thanks for looking.

Some friends of mine recently asked me if I would come by their new house and shoot a quick portrait of them to be used in an invite for a housewarming party they will soon have. This is what we came up with. Thanks for looking.

This past weekend Wrightstown High School put on their performance of Seussical the Musical. For those of you not familiar with the show, it is based on many of the famous Dr. Seuss books for children. The show mainly follows the story of Horton Hears a Who but also incorporates many other story lines from the other Seuss books. My wife, who happens to be the co-director of the show, and I thought it would be cool to shoot portraits of the actors considering the show has a very colorful set along with colorful costumes. We would eventually combine these images to make a poster for the show which the actors could have as a keepsake. I wanted to shoot everything on a neutral background so the colors in the actor’s costumes would pop out. The set up was fairly simple considering we had to shoot 11 different shots in about 20 minutes before one of the last dress rehearsals. The background was lit with a single strobe on a floor stand with a 20 degree grid. The actors were then lit with a beauty dish on a boom stand and a strip box behind them to camera left to create separation. Here are some of the images we came up with along with the poster we made. Thanks for looking.

This afternoon I covered the Women’s Horizon League Championship game between UW-Green Bay and Butler. Green Bay has been rolling over all the teams they have played lately and had no problem brining home the championship trophy against Butler. Hopefully they can keep their momentum going as they enter the NCAA tournament. Here are my favorite shots. Thanks for looking.

This past Sunday and Tuesday I had been assigned to cover the Super Bowl from the fans perspective here in Green Bay and the victory ceremony which was held at Lambeau Field. Lets just state the obvious again, Packers fans are crazy about their team. The celebrations made for some great photos. Here are some of my favorite shots from those two days. Thanks for looking.

The Packers wrapped up their wild card spot in the playoffs by beating the Bears this past Sunday. Hopefully they can keep their momentum going and beat a tough Eagles team this Sunday. It should be a fun post season. Here are my favorites from the game. Thanks for looking.

There were almost as many of these crazy Bears fans as there were Packer fans.

This past Sunday the Packers needed to beat a tough New York Giants football team to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Packers ended up beating the Giants 45-17, giving them a lot of momentum going into the last game of the season against a tough Bears team. It should be a good game, I can’t wait to shoot it. Here are my favorites from the Packers Giants game. Thanks for looking.

This past Sunday’s Packers vs 49ers game was the first official cold weather game of the season. Its always fun to see that no matter how cold it may be, Packers fans are always out in full force to cheer on their team. As for the game it’s self, the first half started out a bit slow with no real big plays happening until the second half. The Packers came away with the win keeping them right on the heels of the Chicago Bears. The rest of the season could be very interesting. Here are my favorite photos I shot of the game. Thanks for looking.
