Cherry Tomatoes in the Snow

Here are some of my cherry tomatoes from last week:

The next day, they had melted into the snow a bit.

PhotoPlace Gallery Publicity

I forgot to share this earlier this year. The PhotoPlace Gallery shared my image in a Facebook post about the "Poetry of the Ordinary" exhibition:

If you missed it, here are some photos of the exhibition, and here's a bit about the catalog.

My son had this printed on the side of some of his homework last week:

Praxis Gallery: "Making Strange"

I'm currently in a juried exhibition called "Making Strange" at the Praxis Photo Arts Center in Minneapolis. Here's what Praxis said about the idea behind the exhibition:

Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic works that search for the iconic and ironic in the everyday world around us; that portray the people, places and things which have become ordinary to us in new, imaginative and expressive ways.

I stopped by last Friday to see the exhibition and take some photos of the show. It's open by appointment only, so shoot them an email if you'd like to swing in and see it.

That's my piece in the middle next to the column.


Here's my image. It was shot nearly exactly a year ago, and I felt
like it was a good submission to an exhibition about "ordinary" things.

And yes, that's one of my "4 a.m." pieces. I'm still having fun exploring the world during the 4 a.m. hour.

That's for including my piece Doug Beasley and Praxis!

Inspirational Camera Joke

"In this world full of dark, be someone's light."

I actually could see those f-stop numbers reversed, because I always think of f/22 as being LIGHT - not how much light is going through the lens, but that it must be light where you are making photos. But maybe that's just me. What I'm saying is that I appreciate the joke, but I might be overthinking it...

... something that NEVER happens. 😉
