Josh either helping stoke the fire, or getting ready to kill someone… Either way, he’s having a good time.

Bay View Bash

Went to the Bay View Bash last weekend with some friends. It’s a crazy popular street fest on the Southside of Milwaukee.

DJ playing on the North entrance.

While in-line to buy beer tickets, my very intelligent friend trying to sneakily take a picture while my camera was slung on my shoulder. He didn’t turn the auto-focus on.

Manly Man Golf with Josh

Finally went to the range for the first time this summer with my friend Josh. Though quickly turned into ice cream, beer, betting, and putt putt.

And a couple days before, I played Night Disc Golf with Josh (apparently had to play all forms of golf this week). Afterwards did some long exposure shots of Josh driving with an LED on the disc.
