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!

Lake Harriet Kite Festival

February 1st, 2009

            Well, now that the holidays are over, I think there will be more time for photos. This afternoon I went to the Lake Harriet Kite Festival. It was a beautiful (for Minnesota!) January afternoon. About 16 degrees, a gentle breeze and lots of sun. Fortunately, I arrived early so parking wasn’t a problem.  I’m sure there were going to be many more people and their kites as the afternoon progressed, but I am happy with what I got and my wife and I had a good time.

Recent Senior Shoot

February 1st, 2009

 

This shot is from a recent senior session.  Great kid, easy-going and patient.  Things actually went well considering that he wasn’t really into it!

Best Laid Plans

February 1st, 2009

In early October, I took a trip to Albequerque, NM with the hope of photographing the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta.  Well, as luck would have it, the two sessions that I had planned to attend were cancelled due to high winds and rain.  Didn’t get any photos of balloons, but I got a view of the mountains outside of my hotel room!
