for no other reason...

We've been a bit busy these past few days, so there hasn't been any new shooting goin' on in or around the Munson house... So, for the sake of keeping our blog postings regular, here's a b/w image from a college shoot a few weeks ago + a little texture dropped in, similar to Tyler's photo in a previous post. Rosie's a great subject for shooting; this is one of her outtakes.

life passes us by so fast

The weekend flew by, but it was fun nonetheless. Included in our festivities was The Taste of St. Louis (on our trip downtown for the penultimate Cards game), which won over these poor souls with a pile of spicy yellow chicken, white rice, and some darn good ice cream from Blue Sky Creamery. No pictures were harmed by Photoshop during the development of this product. You can also see it at the Post-Dispatch site.

Men rescue 66-year-old from river

A joy ride turned into a rescue mission Tuesday evening in O'Fallon.

Kendall Smith, 22, of Wentzville and Jason Gjere, 18, of St. Paul were riding all-terrain vehicles when they spotted something floating in floodwater that covered Firma Road.

The aftermath of Hurricane Ike sent torrential rains and high wind through the area last weekend, causing flash flooding."We thought it was a log or something and then I saw it waving - it was kind of freaky," Smith said.

under a neon sky

The Canal Park area in Duluth, Minn., has more neon signs in one small stretch than any other place I've been (except Vegas, which doesn't count IMO). Hope you enjoy the different look than you'd get if you were just standing there in person... For info about neon and LED signs, ask Joe.

Silver Silver

So I'm not quite sure what, how or where their name AgSilver comes from, but that's irrelevant. The band, straight out of Somewhere, Mich., came to St. Charles Community College for a couple of free mini-shows earlier this month. Despite not knowing much, if anything, about them, I enjoyed their music. Check 'em out at myspace.com/agsilver. I guess I will too. :)

Rain delay? Not today...

Got up. Groaned because it was raining 20 minutes before our scheduled shoot time. Decided to tough it out. Ended up to be an amazing day for pix in the park. Lesson learned: shoot no matter what. It's more fun that way anyway.
