Road Trip
Tomorrow morning Kristin, Cooper and I are taking off to Grand Rapids. A friend of mine is getting married and I was asked to take some pictures of the wedding. It’s a little in intimidating to be the “photographer”, but I’m not calling it that, so it makes me fell better. Matt used to be the road manager for the David Crowder Band and now is the Technical Director at Rob Bell’s church in Grand Rapids. Rob’s doing the wedding so that should be a pretty interesting to hear. It’s going to be a great day for Matt and Hannah and it’s cool we get to be a part of it. It’s interesting where this photography thing has taken me. I never planned on being a photographer, but for some reason opportunities keep popping up. I still love the creativity of it, and don’t know if I could do it for a job. I wouldn’t want to start not liking it.
We have little to no agenda driving up there and the wedding isn’t until Saturday so we are taking our time getting up there. One thing we do plan on doing tomorrow is stopping in Chicago for dinner. This is one of the first times in a really long time that Kristin and I will be able to travel together and have time to actually hang out. She has never been to Chicago, so we figured it was a perfect time to drop in and at least see a little bit of the city and grab some dinner. Then on to Grand Rapids.
Today will be a day of making sure everything is packed, the car is cleaned, the new Death Cab record is on the iPod, and the big boys are ready to stay at Kristin’s dad’s house. The boys are still asleep so I better get started.

Mine, too! I would offer to take you to lunch, but we have a luncheon staff meeting tomorrow, so I won’t be able to get away.
Have a safe trip . . .
I bet Rob Bell does a killer wedding!
Good luck with the photos.
That’s what I love about road trips with Ryan. We actually get a significant amount of time to talk, and we usually have the best conversations. I hope you guys have a fun drive!
You should get Rob Bell to blog!
Your pictures will rock! Have fun!
Have fun on the road trip and at the wedding. I was just up in Chi-town myself shooting a wedding… and then a month before in GR.
Hope all goes well and that you get some quality time with the wife.
Oh GR. So close to home for me…great city. Enjoy your trip/the wedding/photo-taking. Good luck, too!
Wishing you an enjoyable and safe trip!
have a good time. the new death cab album is AWESOME.
That is one thing that isn’t as great about California, but is great about the midwest, back east, etc. You can go through 5-8 states in a day. Cali is just so big that is takes many hours to get from one end to the other and going across it’s only Reno or the ocean. Not complaining…I just think it’s cool that you can see so many cool things in just a 1 day trip. Have a great drive. Take some pics along the way if you can! Happy snapping!
Hey Brody, see if you can get Rob Bell to start blogging… that would be a great read!
Sounds like fun! Have a safe trip
Have fun!
Rock on! Keep us updated!
Matt is a great guy! Please wish him all the best from me. I miss seeing him. Ask him if you can share one or two pictures on here. Safe travels and have fun.
Fun times! I hope you all have fun…and Brody, you are a great photographer. I don’t know what you’re nervous about…
Looks like it will be a great drive. Southern Indiana is surprisingly beautiful. Good luck with the photos!
Brody, I agree about getting Rob Bell to blog, but I’d really like to comment about the new Death Cab album “Narrow Stairs”. I love it! Especially “Bixby Canyon Ridge” and “Pity And Fear”, probably the 2 most rocking Death Cab songs ever.
My top 10 Death Cab songs:
1)I Will Follow You Into The Dark
2)Soul Meets Body
3)Pity And Fear
4)Title And Registration
5)The Sound of Settling
6)I Will Possess Your Heart
7)Marching Bands of Manhattan
8)Bixby Canyon Ridge
9)No Sunlight
10)A Lack of Color
i’m anxious to see the photos you come out with from this wedding. are you gonna post htem online?
ps, i agree, you should get rob bell to blog!
I love Grand Rapids… it’s a very artsy city! Went there last year for the Creative Fusion conference at Daybreak church. Lot’s of cool things to do there.. enjoy!
