Christmas at the Mall of America

I had a great weekend.  Thanks to my wife, Becky, and my brother-in-law and his wife, I got to go see the Minnesota Wild host the St. Louis Blues and it was a great game.  I had not been to an NHL game in a couple of years and I missed it dearly.  The drive [...]

Christmas Lights

The Sauk River

I had woken up this morning to get ready to go help set up my church for a Christmas activity and decided I would take the camera with me.  I drove around for a bit and looked at all the snow – it was quite beautiful.  I knew that I wanted to go somewhere that [...]

The Artist

I had this photo on the website before I crashed it and had to start over again and I had kind of forgotten about it when I was going through my photos folder and trying to remember what I had put on here.  I came across it on my friend, Jacob’s, website (http://www.jacobwcrosby.net) and I [...]

Personal Choice

I have, over the years, taken pictures for different reasons.  My first camera was an old Kodak camera that used 110 film and I got it just before I moved away from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan before going to California in 1986.  I mainly used it to take pictures of friends and things around [...]

The Farm

This would be another one of the pictures I took at the abandoned farm that Jacob and I went to earlier this year.  This is really the only exterior picture that I took at the farm that turned out half-way decently.  There were no clouds in the sky so when all of the pictures were [...]

Abandoned Farmhouse

The same day that Jacob and I went out shooting sunrises we visited an abandoned farm that I was sure would have been leveled by now but, alas, is still there.  There is a lot of development on my route and this farm sits right behind the Coborns on Pinecone Road in Sartell.  I had [...]

Hidden Gem, Part 2

Back in September, my friend, Jacob, came up to house-sit for us while we went camping for the weekend but before we headed out of town Jacob and I had a chance to get up and go do some photography.  Unfortunately, our old stand-by (Quarry Park) wasn’t open yet so I took him around to [...]

Isa and Alanzo

One of the things that I was concerned about when Becky got pregnant was how Isa would do when the baby was around.  She had been wanting a sibling for so long and as time dragged on I kind of gave up on it.  Once Becky was pregnant I began to worry about Isa and [...]
