Lo-fi photography
I've been playing with the camera in my phone lately. Sure it's gimmicky. But I am finding it a fun way to experiment with photography. Currently, I use filter applications to modify the images including lo-mob and I'm also checking out Instagram.

Sno-lotta fun!
It was dubbed snowmageddon, snowpocalypse, snOMG! and my personal favorite, snOprah Winfrey. Call it what you'd like, it was forecast to be one heck of a storm. So when the editors at AnnArbor.com asked me to do a time lapse to show the amount of snow we were to receive, I knew I had to think out of the box. My initial reaction was to measure the snow with a yard stick. After realizing how boring that idea was, I quickly settled on a garden gnome, cause, what's more appropriate than a garden gnome?
After some ingenious troubleshooting, my friend Katie Bronson and I got Gnomey all snug and secure in his temporary home. Here he is at 6p.m. just before the snow began to fall.
And again, after the snowtsunami. Even though we didn't get the 15 inches we expected, Sir Gnome was still
buried up to his neck around 10 a.m.
For the photo nerds out there, the time lapse was shot at 1 frame per minute every minute for 16 hours. Aperture priority at f/5, ISO 500. All light is ambient, with the help of a back porch light to camera right.
Watch the time lapse below!

Two weeks in review
Where have the last two weeks gone? One minute it's Christmas and the next we are half way through January! Since the last few weeks have flown by, I thought I'd give a mass update of the stuff I've been shooting for AnnArbor.com.
Let's start with where I began the new year, in Jacksonville, Florida for the Gator Bowl.
It was nice to leave the snow and cold of Michigan for a few days!
But then the real work began. A Michigan alumni group threw a huge pep rally in downtown. It was pretty cool to see how many Michigan fans came out to support the team.
My favorite photo from the trip.
The two sides of Rich Rod, the hopeful and then the reality of it all. Shortly after Michigan's 52-14 spanking at the Gator Bowl the head coach was let go.
Speaking of coaches, meet Michigan's new one, Brady Hoke.
Coincidentally, I covered Hoke while working at the Star Press as he was the head coach of Ball State's football team. Look at all the media!
Current BSU head coach Stan Parrish and Hoke's daughter Kelly chat after a press conference.
Let's change sports and move on to Michigan basketball. A couple of action shots from a game last weekend.
And a cute moment between sisters as they wait for high fives from the team after the game.
What goes perfect with football and basketball? Beer! But I don't have any photos of beer, so photos of cars will have to do. This past Monday was the press preview for the North American International Auto Show at the Cobo Center in Detroit. (It's been a manly few weeks!)
If a press preview promises anything it's media.
And I mean A LOT of media! From all over! I heard people speaking Italian, German, Japanese, French you name it!
I think I'll end this marathon of a post with a beauty shot of the Ren Cen in downtown Detroit. It's been a busy few weeks and I can't wait to see what's up next!

The Big Chill
The Big Chill was not too chilly and for that I am very grateful! Michigan hockey hosted Michigan State outside at Michigan Stadium at what turned out to be the largest attended hockey game ever. The official number was 113,411, which is more than any other college event in history.
I split my time photographing from the photo deck (way up above the press box) and in the stands with the 113,411 people. My primary goal was to photograph the atmosphere of the game and not just action. Check out a multimedia from the event below.

Travel: D.C. for the Holidays
Somehow I racked up over a hundred hours of vacation at work. With the year winding down, I figured it was time to commit to a trip. So I booked a ticket and flew out to spend the Thanksgiving weekend visiting my friend Emily in Washington D.C.
Along with Emily's parents and boyfriend Adam, we checked out a few of the must-sees in the area starting with George Washington's digs, Mt. Vernon.
Some of the animals (yes a camel!) living on the grounds of Mt. Vernon. Apple the turkey is one of the birds that President Obama pardoned this year. After the holidays Apple will be moved to a special pen where he will live out his days with his brother, Cider!
After Mt. Vernon we made it over to Arlington National Cemetery. We were lucky with a little left over fall color. It really is a moving experience.
A view of the Washington Monument from Arlington. Can you see it? Right in the middle.
The sky as the evening sets in on a long day!
A view of the Capitol building from a terrace deck at the Newseum in downtown D.C.
Special thanks to Emily and Adam! Thanks for showing me a great time and being great friends!
