Here’s the 2 minute segment from the Wednesday, September 1 broadcast. Thanks to the folks at Fox who were most warm and welcoming.

Fox 9 News is getting ready for my appearance on the Wednesday 5:30 News with Jeff Passolt. Should be immeasurably fun, as you can see!

They're Glad To See Me

I have only one of this framed photo for sale. It’s printed on metallic paper (which makes the image subtly shimmer and effervesce), it’s beautifully double matted and it is framed in black. I’d love it to go to a good home. Someplace that likes to swing all year ’round.

My Summer Fling

It’s most fairly-priced. Let’s talk.

They are painting and hammering and wiring for our good times.

I will not take for granted the freshly painted, fire-red, Snelling Gate Ladies Room door.

(I never take any bathroom for granted.)

One of the most popular photos and stories I have collected over the years is, as people simply call it, “the nuns.”

Thank you all for asking for them again this summer.

“They’re not corn-dogs,” the sisters sterny corrected me. “They are deep-fried corn-on-the-cob.” I asked them if they had tried the deep-fried candy bars. They wanted directions immediately.

Summer Is Here, Nun Too Soon

There’s a fun photo party next Thursday, where the winners of the Crispin Cool Photography contest will be on display, as well as some of the work of the judges (myself, Kate Iverson, Howard Christopherson, Kristin Henning, and Joe Heron).
The party, open to all, is hosted by Secrets of the City (the Rake magazine online); Crispin Natural Hard Apple Cider; and the new Filipino restaurant, Subo.
I’ll be there from 5:30 ’til around 7.

This, from Secrets of the City:
Crispin Hard Natural Ale and Secrets of the City challenged our readers to show us their artistic impression of a Secret of the City, Crispin style.  All the entries are posted below, and the top ten, based on their coolness factor, artistic merit, Crispin creativity, and originality, will be recognized along with all the photographers at an event on January 14, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at Subo (the exciting new Filipino restaurant), 89 S. 10th Street, Minneapolis.

We’ll display selected images, offer a special Crispin Cocktail, and share Subo appetizers.  Stop by to experience Subo Secrets and tell us a few of your own. Did you miss the contest?  See all the entries at http://www.secretsofthecity.com/deals/whats-your-secret-picture-it-here-and-win.

Subo http://suboexperience.com  “Subo” The Filipino word which simply means “TO FEED” We want you to join us and experience Subo Secrets and Crispin cocktails. Meet the artists, purchase prints, have some fun.

Quirky and collectable, all year ’round, because All is Fair!

Thanks to Belinda Jensen and the producers of the Saturday AM show for showing off my photos and products so nicely; to Roshini Rajkumar for media guidance; and to Dorothy Molstad of Book Architects for the connection.

For Fair-lovin’ family and friends, these are stocking-stuffable, budget-friendly gifts of original Minnesota art.

See the full-line at http://www.cafepress.com/mnfairphotos/

The note cards are great for out-of-state friends who want a taste of Minnesota; the nun tote bags have practical long handles and carry all your stuff and leftover religious baggage; the cow mug wakes up you every morning with a friendly eye.

The framed print of the Midway Sunset that you see here – “A Summer Fling” – has been a big favorite. It’s printed on metallic paper and has a shimmering, almost 3-D effect. It is available through the Paypal link on the upper right of your screen – or call me: 612-371-4501.

Also, contact me if you want a customized collection of notecards – Midway Sunset; Cow Eye; Nuns eating deep-fried corn-on-the-cob.

(Helpful Hint: the shipping through CafePress is very reasonable if you order 2 items – or more – it’s a little high for one item. If you want to just order one item, contact me and I’ll make it work better for you.)

All is Fair!

Enjoy more of my State Fair photos at the Wing Young Huie Salon Photographer’s Show.

You’ve probably never seen the Fair look so good; or from this angle!

22 of my photog peers and me have participated in Wing’s Saturday Salons and are now joining together for our first show.

Wing is perhaps best known for his Lake Street large-format show, and is now working on a University Street project.

Our show runs through November 3 (coincidentally, my BD) and is available by appointment, if you can’t come on Oct 3 and 10th.

2525 Franklin Ave (Riverside and Franklin area).

Join us for an eclectic evening of fun!
