Redemption! After a few less-than-stellar outings in Honolulu and New York, I was determined not to waste my free day in Gothenburg. The weather was perfect for photos, and the streets weren’t too busy…I gave myself an hour and wow, did it ever pay off. The people of Gothenburg were […]

When it was announced that our hometown NHL team the Edmonton Oilers were going to play their first-ever overseas regular season game in Gothenburg, Sweden, I jumped at the chance to buy tickets to this once-in-a-lifetime event. I immediately texted my friends and asked who was in for the season […]

The last time we visited New York, I had a great experience shooting Strangers In portraits in SoHo, and this trip I expected the same. At first I didn’t really even set out to go back to SoHo – I thought I might find a cool little spot to setup […]

Being a parent is hard work!  We are very fortunate that we have two sets of parents that live close by, who offered to long-term babysit our little peanut for a few days so Cecilia and I could go on a little adventure on our own. We looked at a lot […]

A quick trip away to the Capitol for the July 4th weekend (and the 20th anniversary Foo Fighters show) was amazing, full of site seeing and museum exploring. On our last day, I left Cece at a coffee shop and set my clock for 1 hour to try and fit […]

In what was perhaps my hastiest decision making moment in recent memory, my wife & I went from watching the final episode of the HBO series “Sonic Highways” to searching the internet for remaining tickets to the Foo Fighters’ 20th Anniversary Celebration in Washington, DC, to booking our flight, hotel and the […]
