Way back in May I enjoyed an afternoon taking photographs of March for Science Minnesota’s 2018 Rally For Science at Mears Park in St. Paul. The event, which had to be postponed due to a late April snow storm, featured fun family activities along with slate of interesting speakers. It was fun capturing the creative…
I was happy to have the opportunity to photograph the annual ELCA Minneapolis Area Synod Assembly for the third year in early May at Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Ramsey, Minnesota. This year’s assembly featured a bishop’s election, which provided a little more drama to the event and culminated with the re-election of Rev. Ann…

I’m trying to shoot the Oskar Project in natural light, which is proving to be challenging inside. I’ve decided to forgive myself for…
I am a photographer in need of a project. While working at the newspaper, I would get a number of assignments each day. Mind you, many of these assignments were a bit boring and repetitive, but they kept me on my toes. I’m a bit worried about not staying sharp, so I’m looking to work on…
