Lily Ganz Senior Portraits

I took Lily's senior portraits yesterday. Minnesota winter hits fast so faking fall in these was definitely a challenge. Check out the results. I also posted some outtakes on Flickr.

Missouri Loves Company

The Missouri Loves Company ultimate frisbee tournament brought together 56 teams from all over the country. I enjoyed hopping from field to field running into old friends and watching some talented players.

Columbia's Benjamin Gross lays out at the Missouri Loves Company tournament in the match against the University of Iowa on Sunday at Cosmopolitan Recreation Area. Missouri was undefeated the first day of the tournament but took 15th place overall after losing to Iowa and Kansas.

Wale

Hip Hop artist Wale performs on November 12 in Jesse Auditorium. The concert featured tracks off his newest album Attention Deficit. Wale requested the lights be turned up, saw the size of the crowd, and asked "Where the after party at?" The concert was high energy with a lot of audience involvement dancing in the pit and on stage.

Balsamic Chicken and Italian Vegetables

I made Balsamic Chicken and Italian Vegetables the other night. How can you resist fresh basil?

Arcadia Backstage

 "Arcadia" a play that jumps back and forth from the early 1800's to present day runs Nov 11-18 at Rhynsburger Theatre. 

Crew members Tori House, Alex Wendell, and Sydney Ferleger sit backstage during the dress rehearsal for Arcadia.

Senior Paige Sommerer performs in the rehearsal for "Arcadia" on Monday night in Rhynsburger Theatre. Sommerer plays Lady Croom, an aristocrat, in the play, which jumps back and forth from the early 1800s to present day.

Actors run through lines in the hallway leading to the backstage of Arcadia.

Fall Is Here

Just a few shots of my roommates enjoying the fall weather. Missouri has an extension of the beautiful weather compared to the Minnesota chill that sneaks up on you by November 1st.

Website Update

I tweaked my portfolio website. I plan to build a more in depth personal website next semester when I take Electronic Photojournalism. Let me know your thoughts!

Camera and Crisp

I don't think i've ever been so excited to see a UPS man. My Canon 5D Mark ii was delivered today and I could not contain my excitement. I'm getting back in the swing of things. Fall has always been my favorite season, and apple crisp is the prefect way to celebrate. I made the dessert with honeycrisp apples. They are sweet, tart, and were invented by the University of Minnesota. What's not to love?

Roommates

Moving into your first apartment brings a few changes. Throughout this summer we have experienced almost every aspect of functional failure within this building. Our gas, internet, and air conditioning has gone out us not to mention our chairs rolling downhill due to a foundation slant. We have hosted up to eight guests at a time and hosted one uninvited visitor aka a wild bird that snuck its way into our living room. Luckily, each of us contributes something unique to turn this hundred year old building into a home. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
