This week, Thiessen and I are in the Northeast stopping by some radio stations to play some songs, talk about Relient K stuff and shake some hands.  It’s been fun so far, cold, but fun.  I’m ready for Spring time.  More soon…

For those who don’t know, I entered a photography contest for Wired Magazine a few weeks ago.  After 2 rounds of voting, I just found out that I got 1st place!!  Thank you to everyone who voted and put up with my annoying tweets and posts about it.  I really do appreciate it.  This is the first photo contest I have ever entered and I still can’t believe I won.  Thank you!  To see the top 10, click HERE.  In my opinion, place numbers 7 and 4 should have had more votes, I dig those photos!

My friend, Andy, and I went to United Record Pressing here in Nashville and got an amazing tour by my friend Adam.  Adam knows his stuff when it comes to vinyl.  We got to hear and see every step that goes into making a vinyl record.  In case you didn’t know, United presses the majority of vinyl you see in stores and they have been doing so since the late 40’s. This place is, definitely, a hidden gem in Nashville. If you are in to vinyl and in Nashville, pay them a visit. It’s completely worth it! Thanks again to Adam for giving us a great tour! Be sure to check out united’s WEBSITE.  If you don’t know what vinyl is, ask your parents.  Here is a, very informative, video I put together about our visit.

Last week I was asked by my good buddy, Nathan, to photograph he and his fiance, Leslie. I was stoked to do it! Another great friend and photographer, Sarah, let me use her studio too. I am used to shooting outdoors almost all the time so this was a little different for me. I wanted very simple and classic looking photos for Nathan and Leslie, so Sarah’s studio worked out perfectly! I also got some shots out behind her studio as you will see below.  Also, it seems I’m developing a pattern of shooting in front of loading docks.  Whatever…they usually look cool.  Here are a few of my favorites…
