It's been a busy summer. Somehow all of the time slipped away from me. I can't believe it's almost fall already. How did that happen? It also occurs to me that I haven't written a blog post in forever. So much for committing to write every week. Well, what can I tell you. Things have started to take off fairly rapidly for me. Photography has morphed from a hobby to a part time job. Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. I love photography in the same way I love cooking. I am blessed to be doing the things I love and getting paid for it. I have been fortunate to have the opportunities that have come my way. I have even started doing some photo assisting. Not much but it's a start. At this point I'm just happy to be learning from someone who I admire greatly. Now that the serious stuff is out of the way, here's what I've been up to this summer.
No swingers...
I took a trip out to the Anoka county fair with my friend Alex. It was an absolute goldmine.
So many crazy bright colors.
I love that this little girl is riding the carousel all by herself, having the time of her life.
Nobody ever wins anything playing these games, do they?
No one but "SuperDad" that is. I spent $20 trying to win Benjamin a Pokemon and failed miserably.
I have also started taking photographs of big construction equipment for some reason.
I had to resist the urge to climb this one.
This one was very cool. I wanted to drive it away.
The Minnesota state fairgrounds caught my attention as well.
The new area on the west end, by the midway.
Who doesn't love this slide?
Then there's just a bunch of my normal dark twin cites stuff too. I'm always kind of working on that.
I thought it was about time for a new picture of the cathedral.
I think I went to a rave here about 20 years ago.
Alien city always pulls me back. No matter how many times I go there.
The river was so crazy high when I took this photo.
I took a trip to Lakewood cemetery and almost got locked in overnight.
I sure hope somebody was just eating a hot dog.
We were lucky to be here for the golden hour that night.
And of course bridges.
And skyscrapers.
Thanks for putting up with such a long post. I will post more often, I promise.
