I'm a day-time marketer, off-time photog, full-time dreamer and part-time wanderlust. I geek over chai tea, gadgets, coffee, Star Trek and bocce ball. I live in the great city of Minneapolis, Minn., and this is my blog where I share my photos and other visual art that inspires me. I tweet from the handle @albertisawesome so please do say hello.
Check out Life in Monochrome for my two-toned photos.

I didn’t have much of a plan when I first started this blog. I only wanted to keep myself busy with a hobby while sharing photos with friends, family and any person who might stumble on my snapshots. It’s been a great time maintaining it and refining my photographs. To my surprise I’ve even had a number of brief interactions with folks from all around the world.
A few weeks ago, however, this blog opened a different opportunity for me. Through Tumblr I connected with a dedicated and determined Minneapolis hamburger artist who I read about on a food blog called Heavy Table.
John, the creator of Burger Night, a Minneapolis hamburger event and soon-to-be restaurant, asked me if I were interested in helping as an event photographer for his final event of the summer at the venue Old Arizona. I’m a sucker for a good burger so I immediately jumped on board.
A couple weekends ago I dropped into the latest Burger Night event with my cameras and snapped away. I also had a couple of John’s seriously delicious burgers which have convinced me to never eat anyone else’s again.
You can check out some of my event snapshots on Burger Night’s Facebook page. Be sure to keep look for future Burger Night events so you can give the burgers a taste. You won’t regret it.

My city’s annual fair, Duk Duk Daze, is being held this weekend which means I’ll be only a few blocks away from decadently deep fried mini donuts and potato skins. These pictures were taken two years ago by me when I spotted this young man biking around the fair grounds. Yes, that is indeed a protective suit made out of bubble wrap. I must have been hot and stuffy for him but sometimes sacrifices need to be made for dreams to come into fruition.

My friends and I need to get in a round of bocce ball soon. I feel deprived.
