Lakeshore State Park


Checking out Lakeshore State Park during a lovely cloudy June day.

I’m impressed this little boat is able to pirate the large pirate ship. Y’arggghhhh.
Pirate Ship!

The orange statue gets a lot of hate for “being in the way” of the art museum, but I still like it. (Milwaukee Art Museum is just behind me in this photo.)

I was going to steal these bench drumstricks, but whoever installed them must’ve known this.

Me walking back to the camera at the end of the timelapse (start of video). I wedged the lens cap under the front of the battery grip and the camera’s strap precariously under the back of it to “perfectly” work as my makeshift tripod.
Me! at Lakeshore State Park

You can actually turn these kinetic sculptures. There’s a wheel at the base.

Two seasons in Wisconsin: Winter and Construction. It’s no longer winter.

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.

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:
