No excuse for missing a post last week….either regular or ‘meeting’ with the Professional. But my wife and I were exhausted.

We were giving back. Both of us volunteered at the ‘LifeLight’ Festival in Sioux Falls over the Labor Day Weekend. I was asked to help photograph for the Lifelight Ministries and my wife helped out in the ‘volunteer and performer’ kitchen. In addition, our youngest son and his wife came to help as well. He covered the ‘Souled Out’ stage which was some of the harder Christian Rock Groups (I got over there for one of my favorite groups, ‘Day of Fire’), but missed some of the other artists I’d of like to seen. And our daughter-in-law also helped in the kitchen.

I know it’s not a lot; but we like to give back. I’m also the head photographer for PULSE, a college and youth Ministry based out of Fargo/Moorhead. And we just finished a benefit photo shoot for Hospice in Jamestown at Stutsman Harley-Davidson this past Saturday. (I’ll post some shots here). And we’ll be doing our Humane Society Santa Paws in both Grand Forks and Fargo in the coming months. Through these efforts, we probably raise over $10,000 for these organizations in a single year. Just one of the ways we like to ‘give back’. If you have any questions on these, give us a call at 1-800-344-7667.

So here’s some of the shots from LifeLight. And thanks to the JUMBOTRON operator from Atlanta who put me on the top of his truck to photograph Sunday nights crowd of app. 125,000 watching and worshipping with Casting Crowns.

If you’re not familiar with some of these names, Google them and check out their songs. Some of these are just the ‘lead’ singers and not the whole groups, and others are the main names (acts).
