A very nice day in Minneapolis. Thanks, Mother Nature! 🌅

Details. Some recent work supporting the launch of the @indianmotorcycle #ftr1200. A very cool shoot with some top notch people. Re by @hunnyretouch .

Funny how a little wood smoke and an unfinished landscaping project can be transformed when it gets dark. #october #boo 🎃 👻

Returned the #Roadmaster today. One of the coolest perks of my job is that we get a vehicle to ride for two seasons. The drag is having to return it on a day when the miles would be oh so sweet. So long, horse.

It’s a wrap on another marching band season, and the moments where we got to see Annie and Willem on the same field. Watching these two kids work so hard together with their band has been a gas.

The last beat of the EVMB finals performance at @usbankstadium, and the last show @annieshelleny and @wjshell marched together. Don’t care what the scores are...these kids played their hearts out, and blew everyone away. So proud. #evmb #marchingband #minnesota

Mr. Tree. Thank you for not landing on the house or hitting any of its inhabitants. I’ll take a pain in the ass clean up any day. 🌧 🌳 #lucky

A passenger tonight. One licensed, the other in drivers ed. #slowdownclock! #old

Minutes before the torrents of rain fell from the sky. #itsawrap #weather #minnesota #polarisstudio #goodpeople

The kids marched in Illinois this weekend in the Red and Black Classic in DeKalb. So proud of them and all the hard work they put in. EVMB took second overall, and won the Overall High Effect award. Powerful stuff this year.

Wendy spotted this fella on the window, and he was kind enough to stick around long enough for me to grab a macro lens. Pretty sure it’s a wasp. The days are getting colder up here in #minnesota...not many more days for these guys.

It was an exciting weekend for the Eastview Marching Band. The show keeps getting better with a new ending, and they took first place at the Waseca Marching Classic. So proud of @annieshelleny, @wjshell and the band.
