Congratulations to The Mascot Theory on their two 2026 WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) Awards for Album of the Year and Album Artwork of the Year for their album Cosmic Hit and Run. And thanks again to Erik Kjelland for inviting me to capture all the magic of Flannel Fest the past two years.

I love dogs and tolerate people who love dogs. 😜

Just a small sample of the amazingly beautiful pics taken at our Pet Mamas Photo event last weekend! Heartfelt thanks to Ric Damm Photography for sharing your talent and collaborating on this. $518 was raised and equally divided between GLAAS and Second Chance North. Thank you to everyone who participated! We hope you will treasure your photos 🥰

I haven't done much promotion of this, but I am honored to have once again made it to the final round of the WAMI voting in the PHOTOGRAPHER category. There are so many talented colleagues who didn't receive the votes to make it to this point, and I do not take that for granted. I'm honored to have had the opportunities I have had to work with musicians and venues. It really is a dream come true to have this privilege, and it means the world that others recognize the commitment, dedication and hard work I put into it. Thank you. If you have not voted in the finalist round and would like to throw some love my way, please hit up the link in the comments. SUNDAY IS THE LAST DAY TO VOTE.

Last Thursday was a momentous day in the life of Thrasher Opera House as the community came together to celebrate the "groundbreaking" of the renovations to the gallery, bar and office space of the venue. Construction is expected to last a year, and when complete the revived space will significantly improve both the guest experience and the functionality of the space.

Once again, I have made it to the finals for WAMI's photographer of the year. If you would be so moved, I would appreciate your vote. I don't do what I do for this reason. I do it to support the artists and musicians who share their talents, because I love music and believe it is truly important to our mental well being. Love you all! https://broadjam.com/wami/
