A North Shore Trip with my Holga

Last month, my family and I headed up along the North Shore of Lake Superior to visit some State Parks. My boys and I had been to most of Minnesota's State Parks, and we just had a few more along the North Shore to hit before having been to all 73 parks. I brought my plastic Holga camera on the trip as well. My boys got their last stamps in their "passport" books at Tettegouche State Park making it official that they'd been to every MN State Park.

Here's a quick chronological look at our trip through the blurry eyes of my Holga.

The Changing Seasons

I just finished pulling up my vegetable garden for the year (we had a mild October, so we let it go for a while), and I feel compelled to make a photo like this each fall:

I recieved a package in the mail from Scotland 2 months ago:

It was the catalog for the "Out of the Frame" exhibition at the Glasgow Gallery of Photography. Here are a few snapshots of the catalog that I took at the U earlier this week:

Exhibition Images of "The Shape Of Things"

Two weeks ago was the opening reception for "The Shape of Things" at the Praxis Photos Arts Center. Praxis shared a link of images from the exhibition, and below are a few photographs from that:

There weren't many other "overall" views, but here's one that shows a bit of the space.


And here are a few photographs that I feel really work with the show's theme.

Here are a few pics from the opening reception from a few weeks ago, and here are all the images (and a video) of the exhibition shared by Praxis.
