For several years I’ve been driving past this bus parked in the trees along Highway 23 outside of Duluth and finally stopped to captured a few photos. Timing was important as I wanted to get the photos in the morning when the sun was at the correct angle to light the bus just right. That meant being out somewhat early; this image was captured at 7:21AM.

Image captured at a monument in Colombia in December of 2013. I chose to add touches that gave the image an ethereal feel.

What started out as a photo of the reflection in the mirror, became something totally different. Edges began to blur, light became liquid and reality was open to interpretation.
Camera: unknown, original settings: unknown, artistic effects done in Photoshop, further tweaking in Silver Efex Pro 2 and finished in Lightroom CC Classic.

Several years ago the Ira Bong bridge was closed, one direction at a time, for improvements. Since this bridge happens to have a bike/pedestrian path that allows riders to cross between Duluth and Superior, I was able to go out a couple of times and have half the bridge to myself. This gave me a rare opportunity to capture images that otherwise would be impossible to get, at least legally. I made two trips during that time, one daytime and one nighttime. Of all of the images, this remains one of my favorites.

One of the gorillas at the Como Park zoo in St. Paul, Minnesota. I can’t help wondering what he is thinking as we all stand around and stare at him as he stares back at us.

Under normal lighting, this boardwalk is pretty tame. However, with a little post processing, it becomes a bit more sinister.

Late evening along the St. Louis River as it flows through Jay Cooke State Park in Minnesota. This beautiful park is home to amazing rock formations, rapids and waterfalls. A trip across the famous swinging bridge will take you to several vantage points to view the river and allows access to hiking trails in the park.

The river creates the patterns, the photographer documents and adds human touches to the creation. Taken on a small eddy on the edge of the St. Louis River near Duluth, Minnesota.
