Laughter keeps you young – Hazel’s 90th Birthday
I'm no physician but I'm pretty sure laughing keeps you young. At Hazel's birthday celebration last weekend there was a great amount of humor from her and the family. Even when family members apologized for laughing through most of the portraits I reminded them I'd rather have a laughing bunch than being stared down by an unhappy one any day! Truth →
First Friday Fashion (fail) Contest
Last Friday, September 2nd, I set up shop downtown at Generic & invited shoppers to put together a favorite outfit of their best style (or worst, depending on fashion taste) and model it for a mini-session. The results were no less crazy than I expected. Come take a look and vote for your favorite on our Facebook page. The photo with →
The Almost in Concert – Live Performance Photography
If you like our Facebook page these photos and more came across your feeds last November when The Almost were in town. Nothing like a good local basement venue show to get up close and personal to enjoy the music. The girls fans loved being feet away from lead singer Aaron and the band too, and I'm always a fan →
Dance Performance Photography – Caught at LangLab
Reiterated confession: I'm a live performance & visual media junkie. The anticipation, nervous energy before the stage comes to life, and one-shot no retakes atmosphere gets my creativity charged up. I absolutely love the countdown to go time. Troubleshooting in a pinch to make it work and look flawless. Fast paced action all around! (These all translate just fine to wedding →
Collaboration – BWW Poster Concept
Part 2 of our earlier collaboration project - Phil's finished designs. I merely supplied cameras and lighting, a little bit of arranging folks but the final edit far outshines the straight out of camera shots I left with Phil to begin his poster designs. I was excited to see how his ideas would transform the photos into his finished poster, and →
Collaboration – Behind the Scenes
At the end of March I packed up an SUV worth of lighting and photo gear and headed to Fort Wayne to join a friend and visual artist cohort for a day of throwing around ideas for a poster concept he'd been working on for his employers. Back during his 5-ish years as the Underground Cafe's resident DJ and lighting designer, →
Geppetto & Son by Main Stage Inc.
Thursday I got out to see a family friend and her theater company perform Gepetto & Son at the Battell Center in Mishawaka, Indiana. The cast did a great job on opening night! I've always been fascinated by stage productions. The anticipation, split timing and single-take, no-redo LIVE production always seems to be my favorite. I love mixing and producing a →
Jake & Jessica’s Very Metal Engagement
Early this winter while working with friends Judah at Fourth Tribe concerts and Jake at the River Bank venue to plan spring concert productions, I got let in on a big secret: Jake planned on proposing at the show. (Insert wailing guitar here!) I gotta say he was looked pretty nervous while Armana Reign played and he waited to grab the →
Hunt for RED NOVEMBER – Rockfest 6
This Saturday, November 14th is the Underground Cafe's final concert. After 8 years of local live music, concerts, and friendships the Underground Cafe is celebrating one last show on the South Side of South Bend.

We've rescheduled the Gallery Debut to Saturday, March 7th to make way for an even easier time for our out of town guests and friends to join us! It's been over 20 years in the making. Ever since 1988 when Eric picked up a 110 camera and wandered the neighborhood with camera in hand he's been snapping photos ever since. Unknown →
Jams at Ugly Mugs
Did I mention I think I found my favorite non-Chocoholic coffee shop downtown? Before it opened I even thought the name they chose would make a clever title for a coffee shop. Not kidding. With local shops like "Higher Grounds" and "Sufficient Grounds" when we started a basement venue called the "Underground Cafe" coffee connoisseurs were quick to tell me →
