Clouds just won’t cooperate, but the lights are out of you have clear skies where you are. During an intense substorm earlier they were caught on camera in Mississippi!

I sure do wish the sun would break out so I could take advantage of all this pretty, fresh snow like I did on this day!

I keep looking back at my favorite photos from 2025 & the ones I made in AZ in January are right up there with my favorite work I've ever done. Sedona is just such a vibe. I'd love to go back with more time to explore.

These are always my favorite commercial sales, knowing that they are going somewhere to provide comfort in trying times.
Well, they were installed today! What a great feeling I just had to share.

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?

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.

I sure hope I have another chance to take a crack at this part of Montana again next year.

These are the September- December photos in the calendar. I've been sharing the shots individually, recently but after skipping a few days, I just figured I'd to the last ones at once.

Thank you all so much for accompanying me on this photographic journey that I'm on. It's hard these days when there's so much comepting for your attention. Politics, the economy, the algorithims, misinformation, disinformation & of course, The exponential increase in AI slop flooding our feeds.

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.
