Minneapolis skyline and stone arch bridge

Minneapolis skyline reflected in the Mississippi River. This is a popular Minnesota photography location for good reason. While I was shooting here, the river level rose about 6" in 20 minutes requiring us to wade through the murky water under the bridge.

2012 Calendar Photo

More shameless self promotion! Shearson Publishing has published one of my images of the Como Park conservatory in their 2012 Twin Cities events catalog. The Shearson Publishing calendars are always great quality with a strong blend of unique images.

I Think...

Its important not to loose site of the fact that photography should be fun. We hear all too often that the marketplace for photography is being taken over by the amateur, driving down prices, dilluting the overall quality, etc. etc. As with many forms of technology, easy access has opened up the once quiet photography arena to anyone with access to a wide range of imaging devices.

Every professional was once an amateur and every ameteur aspires to greatness. Go have fun!

McNeely Conservatory at Como Park. Beautiful sunrise and still water produced a mirror like reflection in the pool.

Doe and Yearling

Doe and yearling this morning hear Victoria, Minnesota. Mother was cautious but not too affraid. Yearling stayed back a ways. I never fail to see deer in this location in the morning any time of year.
