A house in the process of being demolished during the razing of 1st street & 11th ave to make room for a massive Walgreens.

Typical wedding scenario.

I parked my car at a graveyard. A shambling horde of zombie geese came squaking after me.

Some teenagers jumping into Lake Superior. Taken moments before the cops arrived.

Normally when I see someone on a cell phone, I'll skip past taking the picture. Too easy, and never that great. This woman was different.

A woman took a photo of a the HMS Bounty, then she went to chimp her photo of a a tall ship. I took a photo of her looking at her own photo of a tall ship. Now you are looking at a photo of a woman looking at a photo of a tall ship. [...]

It was an tense moment that ended in tragedy when Lord king of the seas and longboat extraordinaire Leif Erickson crossed paths with a Mr. Jack Cunningham one cloudy day in May. "What sort of witch's fabric do you have wrapped on your feet which permits the water to bead off like the feathers of [...]

War Protest. April 15th, 2010.

This particular photo got me some great negative feedback on Facebook! For example: I agree with Barbara; what would be the POINT of this picture; other than getting a comment.

Three men have a conversation. Bricks are plenty.

This is what is left of the theater where I seen Scream 3. I never got my money back, so good riddance.

One of the stranger places I've come across someone playing guitar out in the street.

One day while I was walking down the street, there was a tear in the fabric of time, and 1991 came flowing out of it. I took this picture.

For generations past, the pineapple was a symbol of hospitality. Here we see it blended with the modern symbol of hospitality, a full tray of free craft beer.

And what a mighty box it is.

It is hard to read, but the kid's paper says "Stop Killing Babies." From a anti-abortion rally I came across.

I'm fairly certain there was a cleaner route into this parking lot that didn't include climbing a large hunk of dirty ice, but, they didn't find it. Hand held 4x5 with a Speed Graphic. Aimed & fired the shutter once. Nothing happened. I choked back a curse and quickly cocked the shutter and aimed again. [...]

Best result from the first roll of film that I ran through my Yashicatmat 124G. Looks like a keeper to me.

Long, long time ago. Before the downtown Sheratan was erected.
