Just some photos from my phone as we take in our daughters new home and her next adventure on being an incredible veterinarian.
Big camera photos will follow of our adventures on the island as it’s not used to the heat and humidity which requires constant attention to prevent condensation build up. Definitely was not in Minnesota.

Picture Rock at Crooked Lake” (also known as “Return of the Voyageur”) is a 1947 oil on canvas painting by Francis Lee Jaques. The painting was commissioned and placed for permanent preservation by the Minnesota Historical Society to celebrate and document the rugged beauty of the border lakes wilderness. Winter traveling companion, Jon Farchmin is very knowledgeable of the history of the BWCA and Quetico and always wanted to mimic a similar scene along the same picturesque rocks on Crooked Lake, but during winter. The photo represents those who traveled before us, whether by canoe or snowshoe.

When I decided to make photography a career, one of the things I had to do was build my portfolio. So one winter I spent several weeks traveling along the border of Minnesota between the Boundary Waters and Quetico. The goal was to capture all those places people may see during the warm season traveling by canoe, but are rarely seen during winter due to remoteness and weather. It is by far my favorite time of year to travel and I captured photos of areas probably never seen during this time of year.

TBT - 2013 just me wandering around the north shore taking pictures- Temperance River, Minnesota.

Organizing hard drives has me revisiting places and things. It’s amazing how many photos I have with potential.

Wrapping up playing concert photographer for the at . Much more challenging than expected with extreme highlight and low light conditions. Film, this would have been extremely difficult, but digital ISO and has been a game changer.

Introducing the at . A band I’ve been listening to since the mid 90s and seen live multiple times. So when I was given the opportunity to capture their concert under the big top, I checked it off my bucket list.

When photography went from film to digital, it took away the creativity from the camera to the computer, imo. With film cameras, everything is created within the camera, the result is the development. With digital cameras, everything is created on the computer, the result is a combination of camera and software. I’ve been fortunate to experience both, and I still like to use my experience with film cameras to conjure up creativity with my digital camera. One of the creative film techniques was to create multiple exposures on one frame of film by preventing the film from advancing to the next frame. Digital cameras allow you to use the same technique but obviously easier with a simple setting. The result s are always interesting and with proper framing, it gives you a lot to look at in one shot.

I’ve always wanted to photograph a concert. Like bring big camera stuff and focus on capturing the true essence of a band and a venue. Yesterday, I got my chance as I was invited to to capture the play under the big tent in Bayfield, Wisconsin.

Before drones, I would focus a lot on getting a different POV . Taking a photo from some other perspective than eye-level instantly makes it interesting. Drones literally took this idea to new heights. A look from 700ft in the air definitely changes the POV. Add the right location and the photography part and the results are interesting, to say the least.
