Recent pics by Nate that I like

Here's some images from Nate Walkner from the past several days that I really like. Nate is a quite a photographer, as you can see. Click on them to enlarge.

Here's a cool one of Nate's dad, Bill, from outside the shop. I like the curved angles.

This one of Bill I like because Bill's in the middle of talking to the audience. He often has some interesting or humorous intro to his tunes.

Great color and composition in this one of John Will Balsley...plus, with the hair John looks like a young Doc Brown, from Back to the Future.

One of the nicest inside shots of the Stump yet.

Cool outside shot after the gig. The only thing I'd change in this one is that the Stumpjack neon needs to be visible. Shewt, you can see the dentist's sign and he wasn't even there (thanks a lot Jerry!). Might have to do this one over again to get the sign in...but I like the vibe.

A really fine pic of Kim and I...love the lighting and softness of this one. Plus, we both look pretty damn good.

Winter '07 shots by my Pa

Here are a couple of very cool pictures my Dad, Keith Smith, took last week while in Rice Lake. Years ago my Dad was a pretty serious amateur photographer. He was the photographer for the Manitowoc Lincoln wrestling team for many years and even did some photography reproduction work for the big Chicago Bears history book. And while he doesn't do the whole darkroom thing anymore he still takes a lot of pictures, many of which are high quality art works.

I think these two are quite lovely. We'll probably do a photo exhibition of some of his stuff sometime this coming year at Stumpjack Coffee Co..
