  • Signs of Spring

    We’re still waiting for buds and leaves to start sprouting on the trees here in Minneapolis, but we do have little shoots and flowers starting to break their way through the soil. And just in time for Easter! The lakes are melting and the moss is on the trees, and bicycles are out in full…

  • Detroit, A Cautionary Tale

    This past weekend I went back to Michigan to spend some time with my parents. I didn’t go down into Detroit on this trip, but from what I saw from the highway back to the airport, things haven’t changed much. There has been a lot made of the impact of the economic downturn on the…

  • No Bridezillas Here!

    This past Monday I had my first experience working with models during my wedding photography class at the Minneapolis Photo Center. It was sort-of what I expected, but not completely.
