I have a new exhibit of photographs that just opened this week at the Hopkins Center for the Arts in Hopkins, Minnesota. The exhibit includes 37 images, and is displayed in both the main and second-floor lobbies. The opening night reception was last Thursday, February 26th, which also happened to be the biggest snowstorm of the winter here in the Twin Cities. My many, many thanks to the people who braved the treacherous roads and the blowing snow to come to the exhibit. The photographs will remain on display through March 29th.

Last weekend’s photo exhibit – “Dress Rehearsal”
This past weekend I participated in an exhibit at the Minneapolis Photo Center titled “Dress Rehearsal.” I was one of six photographers displaying new work. The exhibit room was beautiful, the work being shown was diverse and interesting, and the people that attended had a grand time seeing a collection of unique photographs — a great success all around. This is one of my new images that drew a lot of attention. “Late night cafe” was photographed in Ashland, Wisconsin. The image was made at night, after the cafe had been closed and certainly cleaned. The floor, tabletops, and counter were all spotless, glowing with the reflection of the neon sign that hung behind the counter. Everything was poised and waiting quietly for the early morning staff to arrive, the breakfasts to be started, the coffee to begin brewing, and the hungry crowd to gather around the tables and counter to start their day once again.
New Year’s in Kansas City
I was fortunate to spend New Year’s in the Kansas City area with my family. One of the unique sights of Kansas City is the Country Club Plaza area. And it is even more beautiful during the holiday season, when the buildings are lined with lights. I’ve made a point to photograph here whenever I’m in the area, and this trip I was lucky to have my niece Lucy photographing with me. Although the night was cool by Kansas City standards, we had a grand time and enjoyed the festivities of the area.
A new year and a new project
With a new year I’m starting a new project. I’m hoping to use this blog to pass on information and photos from my life here in Minnesota. Many of my friends have wondered about my move to Minnesota from the beautiful Pacific Northwest, however I’ve found that there is beauty everywhere, and especially here in the Midwest. So I plan to share some of my experiences and photos, and I welcome your comments and questions. Check back frequently for new posts and new adventures. Thanks!
