Hoar frost Minnesota Morning
Many of you who do not live in Minnesota may think Minnesota is a frozen wasteland much of the year. It may even be true that as I get a little older there are more and more reasons to agree with that description of this place. But even a frozen wasteland has its advantages. Once in a while we in Minnesota get to experience the amazing spectacle of God’s creation in the magic of hoar frost. Continue reading

Why photographs are so important
As a photographer, I know how important images are for people to be able to capture certain memories, and it is my mission to share this knowledge with as many people as possible. Firstly, one of the main functions of a photograph is to capture the atmosphere of a moment or memory that is special in some way. There is something to be said about gazing at an image and having it evoke memories and emotions in you, feelings that had been fading with time. With a photograph, you will never forget something that you want to remember, and you will always be able to refresh it in you memory. Continue reading

Wells Fargo Center Minneapolis
This is another fine example of the best camera is the one that you have with you. I shot this with my Samsung Galaxy IIs phone camera. I must admit I was shocked how this tured out. What fun. So get out and shoot with your camera phones.
Portfolio of portraits
I was asked recently if I had a portfolio of my portrait and people photography. I knew I had not compiled such a collection in a while so I was going to have to do it soon. So I took the time to go through my images and attempt to grab what I think are some my best images of people. They may not be the most popular and the most beautiful or anything like that. What I was actually looking for was the images that moved people the most. You know, they have had some kind of emotional connection with people either the person being photographed or people who have viewed the images. Continue reading

Fashion Photographers MN – Diana Giebler Session
Recent Fashion Photo session – Last week the phone rang and I heard a young woman’s voice on the other end. She says hi my name is Diana and you know my father. It turns out I worked with him years ago in a prior life and I remember clearly the warmth and happiness that he brought to my days. He was a constant source for smiles and I remember those days fondly. Continue reading

Dakota Valley Choral Festival 2011
The amount of creative and artistic talent south of the river is quite amazing to consider sometimes. In this case I am thinking about the vocal talents of the students in school district 196 and this even includes younger children. So what am I talking about? Well on Sunday evening Oct 30th 2011 at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in Apple Valley, MN the Dakota Valley Choral Festival was held. This was apparently the 35th year of this festival and the church was packed for very good reason. This festival is so well run and the level of talent is so high that the show gives the listener the impression that they are listening to a college choir. Continue reading
