COFFEE + LIGHTS

Very attractive Canadian singer LIGHTS this evening in concert in Iowa City. Great show with fast pumping beats, flashing lights, and an amazing voice. Anyone into the whole dubstep/synth/techno/pop type sounding music, check her out. Here are a couple photos from the show (taken with my iPhone) and one of her music videos.

First time at Brewed Awakenings in downtown Cedar Rapids earlier today. I am sold. Very delicious.

Yes, I did pay a dollar to this guy. It was a funny joke.

Cycling

With the help of a friend, I finally repaired, tuned-up, and assembled the Titanium LiteSpeed Classic bicycle I will be riding this season. I am excited to be riding this bicycle and to grow into this new sport!

Are You Really Helping?

For an economy to be sustainable, they need to rely on their local businesses and community. We really aren't helping like many are led to believe. 

A friend sent me this article earlier tonight. It sheds light to what I read in a book many years ago. If we really want to help poverty nations, we need to work together with these countries to develop and secure long term solutions.

"Toms isn’t designed to build the economies of developing countries. It’s designed to make western consumers feel good."

Amy in Bushwick

Stumbled upon a photographer by the name of Mike Lerner and sort of fell in love with his raw, journalistic, simple photos.

A beautiful model, vibrant colors, unique track by Yoav feat. Emily Browning. I am totally captivated by this style and look. Enjoy.

This is another video created by Mike Lerner after he was inspired by the film, Tree of Life.

Raise the Roof

A special great job to my sister, Jen, in her performace at Kennedy High School's 'Raise the Roof' 2012!

Winter Escape, The Video

I really enjoyed heading out to the slopes every day this weekend. It was perfect weather conditions and a nice time to just relax and reflect. Enjoy.

Winter Escape

I am in the process of cutting together 3 days worth of footage from skiing in northern Iowa. Here is a screen capture from Friday evening. Iowa sunsets never do get old.
