Higher



The Red Stag had its first block party tonight, complete with bands, food, drink, and enough people watching to rival the Minnesota State Fair! They also had a skateboarding competition. This kid was incredible and in the perfect spot to capture his silhouette against the setting sun.

Skyscraper

As you can see by my latest photos, I'm really into playing with light right now. I shot this at about 11:00 tonight. I set up and got this, then all the lights on the building shut off. This is the only one I took. It works.

Daylillies


I took a grand total of 2 photos today and this one is the best. Is it just me, or do these wet petals look like a bunch of Slip-n-Slides?

Shadows and Light


There's so much to look at it kind of makes me giddy! This shot was taken on the pedestrian bridge above the 94 tunnel and Hennepin Avenue tonight. I waited until it was dark enough to create the shadows and went for a long exposure to get the light streaks from the cars below. Off in the distance you can see a group of people walking away and the light from a bike coming towards me.

University Ave


I was stopped at a red light in the middle of road construction this afternoon when I looked out the window and saw this mirrored building reflecting back these smaller buildings. It reminded me of a fun house mirror. Colorful and distorted.  Kind of describes yours truly.
What can I say? I like it.

City Island


I went to the General Mills campus last week to get some shots of this building, but I ended up going with another photo, so tonight I went back and captured this! Glass and light enveloped in nature. Striking. If I do say so myself.
