Ornamental Ice
Shores of beautiful ice at Brighton Beach, Duluth MN
This being one of my first Lensball shots, I waited and waited for the sun to come to the tip of the ice shard, then realizing it had already set beneath the tip since the view in the ball is inverted via refraction.

Budding Artist
“The world is but a canvas to the imagination.” – Henry David Thoreau
Ms. Lizzy came over for an evening of art and a movie in the studio with me. It was completely delightful. I remember at her age taking art lessons at the Duluth Art Institute. My mother, from a very artful family herself, encouraged me to develop a love and appreciation for art early. It’s wonderful seeing my sister do the same with her kids.

The Outdoor Gallery
Urban Art Series [1]
The Duluth region has a rich creative spirit which emanates from its shores, forests and surrounding communities into local studios, shops, restaurants, and galleries. The area urban gallery often displays some pretty impactful art in many forms, too. Aside from unfortunate episodes of vandalistic displays, I find it fascinating.

Plys With Purpose 2015
The Arts…. Supporting The Arts
Caught my son Josh for this shot a few weeks back preparing for last Friday night’s “Plys With Purpose” event presented by Prøve Gallery and the Gary New Duluth Community Center and Recreation Area. At the event, 30 constructed skateboard decks by local, national, and international artists were exhibited and auctioned off with proceeds to benefit the Gary New Duluth Skatepark Fund. The Prøve Gallery also premiered two skateboard films that night, including “ISM” by local filmmakers, Mike Rapaich & Stephen Pestalozzi in which Josh is also featured as one of the skaters. The filming and editing are fantastic… proof, once again, that Duluth, MN is really a hot spot for the arts in all forms.

It’s Clear…
Love is all you need.
Kayaked a few miles to find this graffiti in an old abandoned boat house next to an old abandoned light house.
