Eagan Art Festival

June 28th, 2010

This past weekend’s Eagan Art Festival was a mixed bag for me.  After setting up my tent on Friday evening, I returned on Saturday morning for the start of the festival and, to my dismay, my tent was gone!  I noticed a mangled tent about 200 feet away and, sure enough, that was my tent – destroyed.  Fortunately I hadn’t hung any photos in the tent so the tent was all that I had lost in the storm.  I was also fortunate to have a broken tent at home that I was able to repair with parts from this mangled tent.  The show must go on!

Lots of other exhibitors lost their tents over the weekend including former Minnesota Viking and fellow photographer Matt Blair.  He lost his tent during Saturday night’s storm, but recovered in time to start day two of the weekend show.  He took it well and except for the fact that he had no tent on Sunday, you would have never known that anything had happened.

Sales were decent but, not great.  I think that I’ll give it another try next year, however.  The show operators were great to work with and the turnout was good for a small show.

Springtime!

April 8th, 2010

Spring is my second favorite season (close behind Summer!).  I love the rebirth that is around us, the fresh colors and the feeling that the best is yet to come!  This Easter bouquet was so fresh and colorful that I couldn’t resist taking a few photos.

View From the 8th Floor…

May 18th, 2009

Over the years, I have spent far too many nights in hotels.  Over the last few years I began taking photographs through these windows.  “View From The 8th Floor” is a collection of images from some of the many hotel windows I’ve looked through.  Here is a sampling of these images…

Ginger & Bobby @ The Dakota

March 17th, 2009

          On Saturday I made it to The Dakota Jazz Club and caught a performance by some friends and was able to get a few pics.  It was a great show and it was good seeing friends that I hadn’t seen in a long time!
