It was a foggy night in Minnesota, bringing about fond memories of Maine.  I went walking blindly through the tall grass and came out with my nostrils filled with spring and my pants soaked up to the knees.  I hope this beautiful phenomena exists frequently in Northern Louisiana.

It's the bottom of the fifth, Twins up on Baltimore 6-3.  The season opener, a marker that has long ushered in the end of Minnesota's winter and lead fans into the first weeks of what I like to call "the beer and grilling season." After a return from living in Georgia for a few years, ...

My big computer is in the shop, having a transplant.  And with it all of my recent images, so today on the blog, it's words!  You are all keeping me so busy.

Perhaps not officially, but Todd Deutsch, being the badass that he is, did come close enough.  I had not realized that this blogging "chain letter" was making its way around.  Normally I ignore these things, but since I was quite entertained by everyone else's it's only fair that I share 5 things you might not ...

This began some time ago, in Santa Fe, when I first met the Chicagraphers.  I was already a fan of much of their work, but it was the first time that I saw Brian Ulrich's terrific break room photographs.  For those of you unfamiliar with this body of work I highly suggest visiting Brian's site ...

Some of you remember when blogging was relatively young and I decided to wet my feet in the “coffee blog.” That wasn’t its name, but that pretty much described its content. Beautiful and short lived, it began shortly after I ingested the first cup of coffee I actually enjoyed. Since that time coffee has earned ...

What Happend to the Monster Trucks? When did America’s awe twist into malice? I had the ol’ tube on the other day and saw an advertisement for a monster truck show coming to Minneapolis. This ad showed little except trucks flipping over to break under their own bulk or spinning until a wheel or two ...
