Attention Photograpers of all levels!

Yes, this means you, who gets paid $600/hour for your shots of mostly naked anorexics with bowling balls and, yes, you too, who just got your first digital camera and took 1/2 hour of head scratching to get it to turn on…. THIS IS FOR YOU!

Stuff I like

I like Duluth spring.

Sure, we’re wearing sweaters and jackets and scarves, but the ice is breaking up on the creeks, bugs are flying, birds are singing, trees are sticky with sap, mud is muddy, little blades of grass are poking up through the moss, imaginary fish are biting, and the “fuzzy willows” as my boys call them, are, well, fuzzy.
