I was having a bad day today. Definitely a case of the Monday’s at work. Having trouble tracking down a snowblower part ahead of the next storm. You get the gist.
Then I got an email. I sold some images to be installed at a cancer center in Des Moines, IA awhile back.

From a photography persective, 2025 has been an odd one for me. I spent a lot of time trying new things with very mixed results. Part of that was to just keep myself out there. I had vehicle & health issues making travel difficult. The lack of snow, the smoke & the excessive rain all contributed.

The only ice we need in Minnesota.
Our Somali & other immigrant neighbors are not “garbage” as the felon in-chief calls them. The lies that him, Emmer & our not-so-friendly neighbor Noem are trafficking are dangerous. Minnesotans will not tolerate it. We take care of our neighbors.

I need a photo trip. I have a flight voucher that I need to at least have booked by the end of the year, but not sure quite where to go & money is tight for vehicle rental and lodging… that makes it tough.

Maybe this will finally be the winter we get the big ice piles on the shores of Lake Superior again… please?

Any wacky radio station glitches going on tonight? Last night was fun
Cities97 has been playing the last two bars of the @maxmcnown01.bsky.social song “A Lot More Free” for over 7 minutes. lol methinks this is in error

This must just be streaming plays and not downloaded plays because I listen to the downloaded playlist when on long roadtrips through areas with poor signal. That playlist is mostly all time favorite albums, so I think they would be on the lists, if not up top.

The Timberwolves won and Cities 97 looped the same 3 seconds of a song for 2 hours. It’s a good night.

The Real Landscapes of Minneapolis
The images in this first annual calendar are created to highlight the beauty of my hometown of Minneapolis. There have been countless column inches devoted to issues here, however those columns do not...

Happy Small Business Saturday! I took the last few days pretty much away spending Thanksgiving with my family, prepping photos for my small display at Red Raven in Crosby & going snowboarding today with my son.

August’s calendar photo.
Calendars have arrived & will be shipping soon!
Anyways, Black Friday has never sat well with me. A day dedicated to trampling each other over material goods the day after giving thanks for what we have.
What are we even doing?

This is the July calendar photo. When I had people vote for the calendar images over on facebook, this one surprised me a bit. I feel there were stronger images to choose from. I obviously feel it's good enough to put out there for a vote. It does fit the calendar well though, so good job voters!

My son & I went to the North Shore for some hiking. We had to adjust plans & expectations since it's still deer hunting season. Who knew?
I got some pretty cool shots while keeping an 8 year old from hurting himself while trying to climb everything in sight.
It was a win for both of us.

We had a really wet spring and early summer. It seemed that if it wasn’t smoky outside from the wildfires, it was raining and storming. This was around sunset after a well-timed storm. The entire sky glowed. There are are two paddleboarders off in the distance. Did they find the pot of gold?

The May photo from my calendar is one of my 2 or 3 favorites in the batch this year. One of my favorite parts of my 100+ days of kayaking project was watching the loons & other wildlife. It was an absolute honor to get good use out of my wife's grandpa's 150-600 lens for him.

The April calendar photo was done on an end of season snowboarding trip to Lutsen. We stayed in Grand Marais & one of the mornings we left early to catch sunrise & do a quick little hike. After all, water levels were perfect for this shot.

This is the January image & one of my favorites in my calendar. I was in Duluth for an event & before I headed to it, I went down to Park Point for sunset & a full moonrise. I was drawn to the floating ice for a foreground & those puffy pinkish orange clouds.

The March photo in my calendar was a fun one. We were on our way back from a family gathering & I knew there was a good chance for northern lights. We got into some dark sky & sure enough there they were. I pulled over at a little roadside park along the Mississippi River & set up.

This is the February photo in my annual calendar. There was no snow on the ground for most of the winter last year, so I didn't a whole lot of frozen scenes to work with. I really love the colors of the waves, rocks and the spray here with that beautiful Lake Superior sunset in background.

I decided that rather than culling any more photos I enjoy from last week's huge auroras, for now I'd just upload the rest to my website. Enjoy!
