Welcome Home Dad!

Hanging at the Solo Saloon

The first time I met Christian Essex he didn't let me leave his house without a CD of his music. He isn't a shameless self-promoter, just passionate about what he does. He owns the fantastic Big Barn Studios where he produces all sorts of great music like a mad scientist at the multi-track.

This week I spent some time with my friend Christian getting images together for his latest project called Solo Saloon. Check it out and buy his music at cdbaby or iTunes. Here are a few of my favorite shots.

Happy Birthday!

Our oldest celebrates 5 years in fine style, inspiring not only images, but words to boot.

run laughing beneath blue sky
forging first friendships.
