Super windy and gorgeous day, which always make the flags look great.
Excellent way to end a lakefront trip! This is a frame grab from the above video.
Kite Fest!
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:
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.
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.

Overall, a great day and night!
