Neil Swanson – Guitar

By ben smithson On November 2, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In art, home recording, music, video

I shot this a few weekends ago and finally got the edit done. Neil asked for a documentary-style approach, where he could talk about his passion – what he does, how he picked up guitar, and how he makes a living doing it.

2011 Pumpkin

By ben smithson On November 1, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In art

I gave a wacky design a shot this year. It didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted, and it was a late-night carving session after a huge dinner. So I was tired. Nonetheless, it looks cool!

I haven’t posted in a WHILE. What of it!? It was a fun weekend. Erin had her friend Hillary over to shoot some house pics. So the house was nice and clean! After they did their thing, I did a couple-a pics.

Denver Photo Trip

Erin and I shot Eben and Rachel’s wedding this past weekend in Denver. I’m excited how this photo turned out. Stay tuned… more later. Lots of re-touching to do (Rachel busted a blood vessel in her eye… so it’s going to be lots of tweaking).
