Travis & Lisa

After the Super Donkey Ninja post, we took some much needed time away from all things blogy blog. Not that we were resting on our laurels, as we spent the weekend in Bismarck for the wedding of Travis & Lisa. Not only were we the photographers, but Lisa is the Aunt of our very own Jamie! It was an extravaganza of epic proportions, and what follows are some photographs of the event.

To give you some background, one of the photo’s is of the Bride & Grooom, one is of regular poster to the blog of Otis & James, Becca (with extra special guest Jessie), and one of the photographs is of the band that played at the reception (I have no idea what their name is, but they were really good – and the photo was taken by none other than guest Otis & James photographer and regular poster, REEEEZZZZBECKEEEES). Play the game with us and see if you can match the description to the photograph. Good Luck!

Super Donkey Ninja Breakfast? You bet your laser!

Jamie and I are basking in the orange light of the evening office, Nyquil on our mind. Before we drifted off into our sickened bliss, we were visited by the musician Carrie – be sure to see her perform with the Minot Symphony Orchestra on Saturday April 23rd at 7:30 PM. Be there, or you won’t be there.

Yojne!

Luuuuuuuuuke

Today was a great day to be in Minot – the weather was absolutely un-freakin-real. Rumor on the streets was that it broke the record high (click here for the proof). We were able to take advantage of this, and had an enjoyable shoot with our old friend, Luke!

Here’s just a teaser of what went down. Enjoy.

Greetings from Devils Lake

This is being written in the Breakfast Bar of the Comfort Inn, Devils Lake. Why are we in Devils Lake, you may ask; the answer is that we photographed the wedding of Justin & Stacy. The wedding was in Langdon (click here for a map) – and we decided to go through devils lake back home. Long story short, we’re still in Devils Lake – so I decided to put up some pics from yesterdays big event.

We had a great time (we always seem to) – and really liked Langdon. The pictures (in no particular order) are from the big dance, there’s one of the cool Landon Theater marquee (it’s crazy the stuff you will find in small towns), and from when Jamie was convinced that our car was going to sink into the flooded field (I called it a lake) that we were observing. Enjoy!

The day began with rain, but as it went by the sun returned. Clouds can only hide the brightness for so long – even though the darkness can seem so long.

We were able to finally meet Jared & Lindsay – and even though they foiled our plot to steal her glasses, we had a super-fantastic time. Enjoy!

**Congrats to Andy for the IMC scholarship – you wily scamp!

Good Morning Day-Trippers

Taken out the car window from the drive back to Minot from our day-trip to Bismarck yesterday. We had a fun shoot – special thanks to Jeanne and Andrea for all of their hard work!

(For the true effect, we should have used a disposable camera for this ‘out the window’ shot – my homeslices at Rainbow Photo will know what I’m talkin’ about)

Post Hallucinatory Post

Or something like that.
We’re experimenting day and night, to give you a better engineered Otis & James.

Sundays With Andy

Not to be confused with a book of similar name, but Andy did come by the office today – Sunday. We discussed the finer points of music and life. We have them both figured out.

This Is Fat Al

He’s addicted to moisture in all forms. In a glass, in the sink, he’ll even drink the leftover shower water. He’s a good cat. Look for him on the About Us page.

Ironically, he’s in pretty good shape.

My First Post

Hello everyone this is Jamie, making my debut on the blog. Matt is the one who initially came up with the idea for the blog (I think it’s because he loves to hear himself talk). I thought the blog was a crazy idea, I thought it was dorky and I thought no one would ever read it, but I was wrong. Now I love the blog.

Jason and Sean stopped by the office today – but let me back up to last night when Jason was supposed to come at 8:00 with his viola, ready to take some pictures. He came at 8:45 and with no viola. It was alright because we got a few things done anyway. We rescheduled for today at 3:30, and I told him “Don’t be late!”

He was not late. He was right on time. I on the other hand was fast alseep in my bed, yes at 3:30 in the afternoon. (I had a late night) Thank goodness Matt was there, he got some great shots of Jason playing his viola. I have not seen Jason yet, but when I do, I will not hear the end of this.

I would also like everyone to know that Jason has a recital coming up and this is an event you won’t want to miss! He is an incredibly hardworking and talented musician and will be performing some truly amazing peices of music. Here is the information.
