Photographers Kim Borst and Shannon Cousino are unveiling new work in a collaborative exhibit, which opens Friday, March 5 from 6-9 at Washington Gallery. Both artists have a unique approach to photography that utilizes traditional black and white darkroom techniques.
So, we were at Park Point on Sunday. It was pretty far away and after a 45 minute walk on the sand we finally realized what it was. Can you tell?

It struck me as a little odd a few days ago when a post on PDD announced the creation of Daily Duluth Photo. “Hasn’t that been around for a while?” I thought to myself.
Now the situation has been cleared up in the comments to that post. The previously existing site I was thinking of is Duluth Daily Photo, not Daily Duluth Photo.
Goodness gracious. I don’t think I can handle two photos a day.
A new photo-a-day website has been launched, showcasing images from Duluth, MN. All images are submitted by people who visit the site.
Basically, by using the entry form, you are put into a pool for the current month. Your image may or may not be picked as the Photo of the Day for any given day of the month in which you submitted.
Thanks PDD for the help with the proclamation. Wilco was very gracious about it and accepted it in good humor. I half expected that it would be handed off to a roadie for disposal. Not only did Jeff take it on stage, it then played a prominent role in the show. That was amazing. I’m also glad everyone got a good laugh at my expense – it’ll take me a while to live that one down. Fortunately, I have a pretty good start on grey hairs and a beer belly – and with the stress of the job, I’ll have that ‘teenaged boy’ label taken care of in no time.
As you can see, this picture is dated 1919. The girls look to be of elementary school age, so maybe one of them is still around today.
The location of the picture is the old Denfeld High School on Central Avenue, which is now Laura MacArthur Elementary School. There must have been elementary classes in the old Denfeld, or these are just random kids from the neighborhood, because none of them look old enough to be in high school.
The old Denfeld/MacArthur building will be torn down after the new MacArthur is built, but hopefully the old house in the background will keep on keepin’ on.
Duluth nature photographer Ryan Tischer showcases new photographs

Later, when Paul asked for audience participation… did Bob Boone seem over-anxious to slash at the rubber ball??
It seems as if he's done this before??

School faculty must have thought this was a major pain, but I think in the long run it proves worthwhile to drag an entire student body out to pose for a photo in front of the building.
Adams School was built in 1885 at 1721 W. Superior St., serving children in Duluth’s West End neighborhood. Architects of the building were McMillen and Stebbins.
The school closed in 1951, and was demolished in 1960.
You know you’ve always wanted to see somebody go off those jumps at Chester Bowl, now you can.
Just in time for the Olympics, learn about Duluth’s world-class ski jumping history, and support both Chester Bowl and WDSE public television at the same time. Come take in a movie and hear some stories from Chester’s ski jumping legends. Kid-friendly early and late showings, conveniently overlapping the Paul Lundgren Happy Hour right upstairs.

Well …
Not that my photo (from Tuesday) is special at all, but the moon has been kind of impressive this week, hasn’t it? Must be how clear the skies have been. Full moon action is tomorrow. Get your werewolf on.
