snow day



we are enjoying a snowy, peaceful day in alto pass.  tyler and i had some fun outside earlier with the new camera and then enjoyed editing the images side by side while drinking hot chocolate.  i love snow days!

on the side…



sometimes (frequently) we like to (love to) do this stuff for fun (to justify our existence). 

 

to start, a few self portraits:

one pick from a series of josh (my roommate) on a 1973 film camera:

this one requires an explanation, aka it missed the mark a little but i’ll post it anyway:

new music on portraits site…



hi everyone!

just  a heads-up that the amazing andrew hatfield wrote us another song for the portraits website.  we’ve put it up and love how it complements the images.

go check it out here.

it doesn’t seem right to have a post without pictures… here are few tyler took recently at sunset.  the first two are from hanna city, il, taken on new year’s eve.  the last one is from an overlook near our house in alto pass, il.  you can see Bald Knob Cross in the distance.
