The Duluth street photography of D. M. Martin recently became available on YouTube in slideshow format. The images were shot between 1968 and 1972, and have appeared in several art shows in recent decades, including two in Duluth: Chasing Cartier-Bresson: Duluth, Superior & Minneapolis 1968-1972, at the Tweed Museum of Art in 2000, and D. R. Martin: Duluth Street Photographer at the Red Herring Lounge in 2016.

Martin is a Duluth East graduate who bought a nice camera in 1968 and showed an instant knack for street photography. He studied history at the University of Minnesota and was the first editor of the alternative newsweekly Twin Cities Reader before becoming a business writer.
