Andrew's Story

This is probably one of the most time consuming images Brian has done. You see, he has only begun to create the image when he presses that little black button on the camera. Often times he has an image in his mind's eye of how it will end up, and it takes a considerable amount of time, knowledge and several computer programs, filters and plug-ins to bring it to life.

So, you wonder, what is this image about? Well, Andrew Bultemeier has been wrestling for years, probably since he was 3 or 4. His dad was a skilled member of the Bellmont wrestling team, as was his older brothers, Victor and Ben. Andrew's goal was to follow the long line of BHS wrestlers to a state victory. Unfortunately, a host of sports injuries kept this from happening. That is why we have this image of his injuries "haunting" him.

Bellmont High School Billboards

This images was the first student billboard posted across from the entrance to Bellmont High School in Decatur. It was sponsored by Andrews Photography and Grote Chiropratic PC, also from Decatur. To create this image Brian had to ask Decatur City Council for permission to block the street. With the blessing of Kenny Ketzler, Chief of Police, we had 15 minutes to get what we needed. The guys were stoked and people lined the street to watch. It was pretty awesome to see their determined faces and hear the scrape of the metal cleats on the asphalt as they "took the town"! By the way, we were done in 10 minutes, thanks to the wonderful cooperation of these Senior Braves.
The 2007 Senior Braves were: Justin Hall, Zach Colclasure, Mickie Smith, Gus Ranly, Ryan Baker, Chadd Keller, Ben Bultemeier, Johnathon Shifferly, Clint Wurm, Scott Gaskill, TJ Gerig, and
Skyler Curtis.
