Another shot here from the north shore. It was a tranquil day up in Grand Marias, an awesome little town a few hours north of Duluth, MN. If you ever find yourself there, you should grab a slice of pizza at Sven & Olies. Everytime I find myself there, life seems like a different animal all together. This shot is from Artist's Point. With the flat rock formations, a lot of pools tend to form. I thought the image had a good subtle contrast in the textures, the wind blown pool with its little ripples, the straight rigid rock formations, and the large expanse of lake superior. You can see quite a few other shots from Artist's Point if you click on the tag of "grand marais" below.

Things are still pretty crazy. I haven't gone to Korea yet, they keep moving around the shooting schedule. It looks like it will be the end of October.

This shot is another honeymoon pic and one that I like a lot. "Dandelions?" you might say, "everyone shoots those!" Well all I can say is that they bring back wonderful memories and there is something very respectable about such a beautiful plant that prefers to be called a weed rather than a flower.

By the way, anyone seen where I left September? I swear it's around here somewhere.

Work has been crazy lately. I am programming stuff for the artists to use and trying to be a supervisor at the same time. I think this project will have everyone stretched a little thin.

They are sending me to Korea in about a month for I think about three weeks (maybe less). It will be my first time out of North America. I will let you all know how it goes. I got a spiffy new lens that I am hoping to get shots with over there.

Its funny these days I look at almost everything as a chance to take interesting photos. Danger? who cares... it will make an awesome shot! : )

We have spent the last couple of weeks getting back into normal life and dreaming of the quieter days.

We spent the next couple weeks in a house on the shores of Lake Superior. We lived like small town folks. It was an awesome and super relaxing experience.

I remember I went on that weekend getaway as a way to tell myself to concentrate on the here and now rather than always reflecting on the past. Ironically, I often find myself reflecting back on that trip.

I thought this series deserved to be up for a week and a half.

And in the mean time, I posted these pics I took along the north shore a few years back during a wonderful fog filled day.

I am not sure if I will be posting. I will if I get a chance, but if I don't... have a good week and a half all.

I am heading off on vacation at last! I am off to beautiful Minnesota for the weekend and holiday and then back to go on a road-trip around California.

A picture I took years ago on a memorable day traveling along the North Shore of Minnesota. We arrived in Grand Marais just at sunset during a heavy fog. Along the shore people often set up the rocks in this manner.
