Remember that fun "implied nudity" photoshoot I did for Renaissance Theaterworks? Well, here's the final result, a trifold brochure! I made the pics and Nathaniel Schardin did the Photoshop/retouching work!

The views, the water, the landscape, the history, small towns... #DoorCounty is lovely. www.doorcounty.com

I've been up to #DoorCounty in winter and in summer, but not yet in Fall...I should correct that next year! :) www.doorcounty.com

Let's time-travel and travel, in general, to one of #Wisconsin's most scenic areas, an area known far and wide - #DoorCounty!
A few years ago...during lockdown, in fact, Naomi and I went up for a weekend and did our part to support the local economy... www.doorcounty.com #VisitWisconsin

Having grown up on a WI dairy farm, it brings me a LOT OF JOY to see #NationalFamilyFarmCoalition utilize my photos in their material, telling people about ways they are working hard to help the SMALL #FARMERS of the United States. #WIunion

I met Maurice when I was a student at #CardinalStritchUniversity, and we've been friends ever since. He has the BEST #penmanship - look at that lil card he gave me. When he hears something that catches his attention, he writes it down on these lil notecards, and then give them out. #oldfriends

During this Fall's #DoorsOpenMilwaukee, I led a #photowalk for @mikecrivellos.bsky.social on Historic Mitchell Street, and one of the walkers made this swell photo of me! 🙂
It was fun leading the walk, and sharing historical facts with them about how this neighborhood has changed through the years!

Really, attending a short film festival is a thrill - how else could you see 70+ films in just three days?? 🙂
The festival is shown at the glorious Avalon Cinema!

... that his film festival demonstrates the diversity of filmmakers in the industry - racially, ethnically, and has been featuring local, national, and international filmmakers!

The #MKEShortFilmFestival MKE Short Film Fest has been going on for many years in #Milwaukee, and it's been my pleasure to serve as their official photographer for a few years now. Ross Bigley, the founder is very devoted to short films, and has made dedicated and extensive efforts to make sure...

I'm a #4H alum (#DodgeCounty Golden Rule club), and I recently had the pleasure of talking to some #Waukesha 4-Hers about my photography, and then helping them make some photos of their own. 🙂 It was a very good time, and I'm looking forward to talking with them again! #photography

"Companies" can be hard to relate to, but PEOPLE...well, we are all people, so when a company wants to promote itself, it's best to focus on the people who make up that company...and that's why it's important to hire a practiced portraitist - like me! :) www.troyfreund.com #PortraitPhotographer

Not my normal sort of event to photograph, but this Summer golf outing for a non-profit featured a parachute-in of some guests! www.troyfreund.com

Actors are fun to work with, and humorous implied nudity is always a hoot! These images are the "gristle" that the Theater's graphic designer worked with to create their funding appeal...if you want to see final result, check this link: rtwmke.org/home/costume/

I have worked with many of my clients for many years, and I always look forward to those assignments coming around each year, like a comet returning to our skies...and one of my favorite assignments is this, for Renaissance Theaterworks...

again, I reeeeeally want to see @edgarwright.bsky.social make a #TerrorInc movie!! There are very few characters I've read who've had SUCH a distinct voice as Terror!

Still one of the best, most character-ful lines in #comicbooks, #TerrorInc, by @dgchichester.bsky.social and #JorgeZaffino, from Marvel Comics.
November 5, 2025 at 10:47 PM
From that same comicbook…
November 2, 2025 at 5:03 PM
From a 1990 comicbook, THE WAR (from Marvel)…written by #DougMurray.
