The Fox Cities Go Red Event was held by the American Heart Association of the Fox Cities on February 7, 2020. We were there to capture photos of this fun and informative and inspiring night.

February weather in Wisconsin is known for being cold, windy, cloudy and snowy. Though lacking the pop of color that Wisconsin's other three seasons are known for, winter's gray days accentuate the contrast between the white of the cold snows and the dark tones of buildings, bridges, rocks and trees. This creates perfect conditions for black and white photography.

There is satisfaction in witnessing a couple's love —the adoring eyes, affectionate smiles, the tender touch of hands, the sweet laughter — before they say “I do”. And with every couple, each has a unique story. At Behreandt Visuals, we are passionate about telling those love stories — and providing wedding couples with a beautiful memento.

It was last year when we sat down at the Copper Rock Cafe — a local coffee shop located in downtown Appleton, Wisconsin — with Nikki Wiszus and Ramsey Riehl. The coffee shop was buzzing with customers, the air was filled with the smells of baked goods, and the aroma of coffee was deliciously intense.

When Wally Byam invented the Airstream, he just wanted a way to keep his wife comfortable when camping. His first attempt, according to the company he founded, was a tent pitched on the chassis of a Ford Model T. According to Airstream, “His wife didn’t much care for the experience, so he built a permanent structure on the platform.” From that small start, the iconic silver bullet trailer was born.

Mid-March. Half rain, half snow, some sleet. Four AM. A cold wind steady out of the north. Not the best time to be outside. But a great time to take photos of empty city streets, where usually they are choked by cars and people.

Affinity photo is a new alternative to the ubiquitous Photoshop from Adobe. It offers all the basics you might need for most photo processing, but it also offers some very nice extras, including an ability to stitch panoramas and to produce HDR images. How well does it work?
