Milwaukee Film, Video, & Photography
Skate Skull is a thrash-proof skateboard mount for GoPro Hero 3/3+ & 4. Tough magnesium-alloy protects GoPro, even when mounted underneath your deck.
I came up with it when I wanted to get the underneath-the skateboard angle in the video below (skater Nick Sommer uses the prototype).
We will be launching a Kickstarter campaign in the very near future (check back for updates)! And check out Skate Skull in full-fledged action in the skate-film I directed below.
Below are some of the horse fence photos I took in Richfield, Wisconsin at a white 4-rail Buckley Steel Board Fence install. This is a top-of-the-line horse fence my Dad invented.
You can see all of the photos in the album.
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.
Took some fireworks photos of Festa Italiana’s display during the last night of the fest July 2014. Taken from the water just outside of the Lake Shore Park launch area, downtown Milwaukee on LakeMichigan. As well as of the Big Bang from near the War Memorial and Milwaukee Art Museum.

The people on the boat in front of us seemed to have a great and romantic time:

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!
