And here's a little video of that Icy New Year's jaunt.
Spent New Year's Eve walking around on a frozen Lake in Wisconsin. Happy 2014!
The 400 West Rich Street artist co-op/event space/dinin' hall thing in Franklinton is pretty rad.
Urban Meyer, in his first trip to Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor.
We found ourselves in New York City again, this time for a blowout Brooklyn wedding. We did our usual wandering about, and hit the Whitney for the stellar Robert Indiana retrospective. Good time as always, and got out just in time to avoid the holiday weather madness.
On this trip to New York, we tried to visit some parts of town we normally don't see. With that intention, we found ourselves downtown in the Financial District. Once we realized it was open to non-ticket-holding members of the public, we decided to visit the 9/11 Memorial. Erin and I both came away impressed with the scale, grace and weight of the site.

Commonwealth Kentucky Bistro is the brainchild of Chef Chris Burns and his wife, Tess. Coming soon to the Mainstrasse district of Covington, Kentucky:
Our goal is to create experiences that support the common wealth of the community through love for food. It is a place where food is locally-sourced and inspired by our region’s past, prepared with passion and creativity, and served with Kentucky hospitality. It is a place to share stories and a meal. It is, in short, the perfect neighborhood eatery.
In planning their eatery, Chris and Tess reached out to me to develop Commonwealth's brand and visual language. I designed a logo and ID for the restaurant, contributed photography and designed and developed a new responsive website that is built to grow with the restaurant as opening night approaches.
Last week, I flew out to California to shoot the OSU/Cal game for 11W. Naturally, I made a long weekend of it, saw some friends, walked up a lot of steep hills and had a grand old time. Here are some photos from the trip. You can see the full set from the game over at Elevenwarriors.com
I was lucky enough to attend the Buckeye's first practice of the year on Eleven Warriors' behalf. And got this shot of freshman linebacker Mike Mitchell, Fall can't come fast enough.
Last week I travelled out to the Pacific Northwest to visit my sister in Portland. Came away very impressed with Portland proper and all the incredible stuff surrounding the city. We hit up wine country, the coast, went hiking, visited some breweries, etc. etc. Good times, and an easy place take photos of. You can dig more over on my Flickr.
Snapped en-route to "scoring" these bad boys for the Land-Grant tasting room.
More Low Country snaps right here.
For my first week on the loose, I've holed up at Grandman's South Carolina Headquarters way out on Seabrook Island near Charleston. Productivity is at an all-time high, but every now and again, I take a break to enjoy the low-country's lazy scenery.
Back in New York, this time for my rad sister Claire's birthday. This was a family affair, and we made our way up and down and all over Manhattan. You can view the full set of photos over on my Flickr page.
I'm a huge fan of tacos, braised meat, guacamole and pretty much everything else that comes along with Mexican inspired food. So when Django Western Taco asked me to design and build their website, it was a no-brainer. Then when they had me come in and photograph (and sample) their killer Tex-Mex, it only sweetened (spiced?) the deal.
We developed a simple one-page responsive site that puts the imagery and info up front. Next time you're in Northside, I highly recommend the Sheriff's Stone Bowl.
