Flameburger.

This beautiful burger came into my life at a time when I needed it most a few weeks back. I'm not in quite the need for its services now as I was then, but I still miss it, and it still holds a special place in my heart.

Pyka Inez Osborne

This is my new niece! I'm an uncle for the first time! So, yeah, she's not quite ready to run with uncle Kelly quite yet, and uncle Kelly doesn't do baby poo... but I have grandiose plans for her and I when she gets a little older. 20 bucks says I'm her favorite uncle.

Friends with patience.

As a photographer, its great to have interesting looking friends. Its even better when they have the patience to sit for you for a while and help you out. Heres a few of what I hope to be many more.

New Years

No one went to jail, so I guess it was a success.

Lucas Arts Portraits

more portraits from the party.

Lucas Arts Portraits

This is almost everyone who I knew at the party in San Fran. I was glad to have the opportunity to get them all in the same place over the course of the night.

Waxin' Jedi

I've been getting SO many requests for a photo of myself in one of my famous light saber locks, so...



Oh, and if you're wondering who won this, well, I'm writing now so I guess, um, she's dead.

Lucas Arts Party...cont.

more from the party.

The Wombat/Abominable Snowman Thing

I got to attend the Lucas Arts Christmas Party on Saturday. Even without this guy, it was one of the best parties I ever went to. Matt wasn't sure if this guy was hired, or if it was an employee that just went all out. Either way, the Wombat went nonstop.

SF, Friday night.

We went to a place in SF called the Elk's Club last night. Its a private club, but they open it up on Fridays to the public. Even their elevator was cool.



Ate at a restaurant call Katana-Ya. Sushi and Ramen.

Sausalito, CA

I'm staying in Sausalito again for part of my bi-yearly trip to the bay area. MattO's apartment... what a spectacular porch and view.



My absolute favorite place in Sausalito is the No Name Bar. Its a tourist town during the day, no doubt. At about 6:30 when the last ferry leaves back to San Francisco, the town seems to become something else entirely. I'd have to say this bar can sum up how I feel about this area as well as anything.

Mafia/NRA night. Part 5.

and more.






It was fun. Lets do it again.

Mafia/NRA night. Part 3.

St. Petersberg restaurant and vodka bar. Lesson learned... don't get coffee flavored vodka in your White Russian.

Mafia/NRA night. Part 2.

I wish I could start every night out at the range.

Mafia/NRA night.

Mike Haug organized the first annual Mafia/NRA party last night. At least 15 people showed up at Bill's Gun Shop in full dress to shoot pistols and look like players. After that it was on to the Russian vodka bar. I took a ton of shots and got a handful of good ones, and I promise to anyone that I promised to last night that they will be in circulation, and I will be putting some of them on this blog.

This is all I can offer up for now as it seems somewhat fitting.

Cory

I took this a few weeks ago, but I decided I couldn't rob my 2 viewers of it. This is the kind of shit I have to wake up to. Send help.

Akeley, MN

Out of respect for Cory, I didn't shoot any of the red shit-bats that were running around his land.



That couldn't stop a guy from dreaming, though.

Cory, maybe YOU should move to San Francisco... save some squirrels or something...

Halloween, '08

Without a doubt, my favorite day of the year. Its more important to me now that Christmas, Easter, New Years, and whatever other holiday you can think of, combined. The only one that comes close is Thanksgiving, cause I like turkey. We made it happen this year.
