I'm a designer -slash- photographer living in Minneapolis, MN.

Many of these photos are from my adventures in and around the Twin Cities.

I like to make things pretty.

Bon Iver turned down playing the Grammy's next Sunday. "Me and Brian [Joseph] and a bunch of our fucking friends and we were given accolades for [the record], and all of a sudden we were being asked to play music that had nothing to do with that. We kind of said 'fuck you' a little bit and they sort of acted like they wanted us to play, but I don't think they wanted us to play."    2012.02.04
Your daily Komen-Planned Parenthood debacle roundup: Komen reverses its decision and restores PP funding ... sorta. They still need to *apply* for grants, which can *then* be denied. Komen also quietly halted $12m in stem cell research funding, which of course was realized because every eye on the planet is on their financials. The icing on the cake? Nothing says support breast cancer awareness like promoting pink handguns. Somewhere the employees of The Onion are crying a river over having absolutely no headlines left to make up.    2012.02.03

Mena Trott makes predictions about the fashion in season 5 of Mad Men. "Oh, Betty. For years, she has been immaculately dressed and presented as the facade of the perfect 1950s/1960s wife. With her cinched waists and billowing skirts, she's held onto late 1950s and early 1960s fashion the longest. In season four, she's married to the anti-Don, the boring Henry Francis and is getting a little too familiar with the bottle. When you're married to Henry Francis, you just don't care any more. That should be embroidered on a pillow."    2012.01.31
