Bad things happening to good people.

I am not a fan of bad things happening to good people...no one is. We
have a family friend named Kathy "Pete" Meshak. I got to know her
through my Aunt Patty. They are lifelong friends. I met her for the first time really at the benefit for her husband a few years ago. He passed away shortly after from Cancer. Soon after she found a house that she liked just down the street from my Aunt's. I helped her get the house...and it was perfect for my Aunt and Pete. They could keep a eye on each other!:) She also became a fixture at our family gatherings..specially my birthday dinner at silver coach. Always a smile and always kind. That is who she was. Recently she had a accident. She fell down a flight of stairs and hit her head. She is very badly injured.

I guess I write this because it makes me so angry that this would happen to someone like her. It is not fair. She is the kindest soul. Only time will tell how things will work out. I just hope that everyone has someone like Pete in their life at some point. And if you do..do not ever take them for granted...ever.

WEEZER!

Went and saw Weezer last night in Milwaukee. Amazing show as always. Every time I see them the show changes. Its great. And its awesome to know rock and roll is still alive! Here are some of my photos. Could not bring the big camera in so used the point and shoot.

Feed The Fish

At the end of last February I had the opportunity to head up to Door County and do still photos on a movie set for a few days. The film is called Feed The Fish and is written and directed by Michael Matzdorff. I read the script and its awesome.

Please check out the website for the film Feed The Fish at http://www.feedthefishmovie.com/.

By the time I got there...the cast and crew had been together for a few weeks, freezing there asses off in Door County in the middle of winter. They let me slide right in and showed me how everything worked and where to go to not get in the way! Everyone was so nice and welcoming to me. It was one of the best experiences I have had. I also met alot of great people that I have become friends with including the primary still photographer Richard Steinberger (http://www.richardsteinbergerphotography.com/) who helped me not get yelled at and i have been able to lean on for photography questions..and sometimes a beer or two! We finally get to see the movie on November 21st up in Door County and I can not wait. Thank you to all the cast and crew for a fun time and for the chance to have this experience. I could go on for awhile with sotries and things...but I take pictures not write! Now onto the photos!
