Milwaukee street photography taken during a walk to an evening screening of “Boyhood” on a beautiful summer night on Milwaukee’s East Side.
Boat Skateboard Jump
Testing a skateboard trick off a moving boat for the in progress film project “Thrash or Die.” Stuntman is skater/actor/writer Nick Sommer doing the boat skateboard jump onto the pier. The shots are from the Milwaukee River in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Nick having a good time on our way to the test site:
Pulling up to the test site:
I call this masterpiece, “Party Foul.” Note the wasted beer in the bottom frame.
Nick landed this 3 or 4 times in a row while the boat was tied up, but this makes me giggle, so had to post it.
There’s also a wedding party taking pictures of us and them and cheering Nick on right next to us, just off-cam:
After landing with the boat tied up, we finally did it they way I wanted 😛 with the boat moving!
Nick lands it like a beast after a couple tries. No beer spill either:
Boat or Die – Portraits on Milwaukee Water
Below are on-boat portraits I took while boating with my friend Party Boy and his family during a beautiful June day in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Zach has me more than a little scared here.
Hailey Shoots Me
My right hand was on my camera while Party Boy’s young niece took this photo. Obviously I had to then do something especially cool with my left arm.
Party Boy Steers
That’s MIAD (Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design) in the background. MIAD definitely has some great locations in Milwaukee’s 3rd Ward, including this one.

Franklin, the lovable inflatable, makes a blurry green cameo.
Overall, a great day and night!
Milwaukee Spring Night Photos
I took some photos during a Milwaukee Spring evening out. Locations include La Perla (Mexican Restaurant), Lake Shore Park, and Downtown.
I just brought out a light/small/inexpensive lens, “the nifty fifty,” Canon’s EF 50mm f/1.8 lens on my Canon 5Dmk3. Photos were processed in Lightroom and about a third also had some work done in Photoshop as well. To see all 17 photos in the gallery click here.
Milwaukee Spring Night Photos AT LA PERLA FOR DINNER AND DRINKS:
Genius direction, “Um, look at the fire.” On La Perla’s patio.
🙂 Also on the patio.
Awww, I think they like each other. On the other side of the room, a guy was humping a girl on the motorized kid ride.
AT LAKE SHORE STATE PARK after dinner:
I had some sweet red-light timing on this.
Milwaukee Art Museum seen through the Lake Shore bridge. This is genius because they both have pokey things.
The girls consider jumping off the Lake Shore Bridge.
I also call this picture “Art Sauce,” but the lighting was at least done in camera. Makes me feel a little better.
A relaxing night.
Lake Shore… Marina? Whatever you call that protected water area.
Also, genius compositing by me.
These sissy ducks were totally scared of me and my evil camera.
If you could turn the camera to your left a little, you would see some mischevious kids.
This is where I park my imaginary boat.
DOWNTOWN at golden-hour before going to dinner:
The museum and the plant are competing to see who can spread their wings better. It’s a close call.
People love to hate this sculpture. But see how much fun it is?
