29th Annual Maggiano’s Family Kite Festival at Veteran’s Park.
Timelapses are from Saturday May 28, rest of video shot on Sunday May 29. We had a gorgeous Memorial Day weekend in Milwaukee!
Stills from Sunday:
Sunrise at Pierhead Lighthouse – timelapse/video
Stills from the shoot:
And 2 years ago took this photo of something being tugged past the lighthouse. This time it was the police tugging a fallen branch.
Sunrise at Bradford Beach – video
Was up way too early so I headed to Bradford to capture the sunrise.
It was a cold May morning (not quite 50 F when I arrived), but this meant very few people would be around. Especially nice while leaving my camera setup on the bridge for half an hour.

My Birthday! Barnacle Bud’s and Mike’s Boat
After finishing my taxes (starting them a month earlier) in the morning of my birthday, the weather Gods in Milwaukee graced me with ‘patio weather.’
Got lunch on Barnacle Bud’s patio then went to check out Mike’s boat that’s stored at Southwind Marine.
Wisconsin State Fair Photos
I went to the last Saturday of the Fair this August, and brought along my camera to take some Wisconsin State Fair Photos. Even onto the rides. I broke my 5D3 to the lightest form I could, which included just using the light “plastic fantastic” Canon 50mm f/1.8.
After taking the above photo, the guy with his thumbs up (lower left), who I didn’t know, asked if I got him in the shot.
When I took the photo I didn’t realize he had his thumb up, but when I quickly reviewed it, my eye was immediately drawn to him.
He took a look at the photo and declared that it’s going to go viral.
I won’t be angry if he’s right 😛
The above photo is from one of the barns, at a coloring station for kids. I immediately thought this was hilarious.
The part that really gets me is that whoever colored this colored in one of the adults jeans, and then was like “screw this,” scribbling out the parents and sibling.
SKYFLYER PHOTOS
So this ride called “Skyflyer” was like a standard swing-ride on steroids.
It definitely didn’t seem super safe, and we actually had to come back down after initial lift-off as someone was panicking.
But it certainly was exhilarating and got some great views of the fair.
HORSE AND COW COMPETITIONS
And some more fun at the Fair…
The Wisconsin State Fair was already more than 2 weeks ago, and it sure makes you realize how fast summer is flying by. Was a great time and makes me wish I could make those moments last forever.
