52 Week Project: Week 33
While driving back from Walker, MN last month, I found this abandoned building south of Garrison (with a separate abandoned gas station as a bonus) which is pretty much a guarantee that I will stop and shoot. I used the Aged Photo preset in LR2 rather than B&W. I might have to go back sometime [...]
52 Week Project: Week 32
While up in Duluth, MN, I spent one evening down at the Leif Erickson Park shooting. Across the street from the park is the Duluth Armory. For this photograph, I took the the exposure the camera came up with and then bracketed it by -2 and +2 and then infused the three images together using [...]

52 Week Project: Week 30
I’m a sucker for glass blocks so when driving through Gilbert, MN last week, I found some on an old bar that went out of business. I thought the American flag was a nice little bonus. Exposure: 1/400 sec, Aperture: f/7.1, Focal Length: 28mm, ISO 200
52 Week Project: Week 29
This was taken during an overnight stop by Hurley, WI (same night as this one). I was messing around with a circular polarizer to enhance the sky a bit and had a few shots that turned out okay however with this version, I opted to use LR2 instead to get the same effect. Now I [...]

52 Week Project: Week 23
While cruising through North Dakota for work a couple of weeks ago, I found this abandoned gas station between Devils Lake and Jamestown (IIRC, it was in Sheyenne). It would be interesting to go back and see if I can find out some of the history of this little building and the stories it could [...]
52 Week Project: Week 14
I was in Le Center, MN for work last month and spent time in their downtown area. What struck me was the architecture of the buildings and the fact they were built to last. This is the First National Bank building which was built in as you can guess, 1903. There is nothing technically brilliant [...]
52 Week Project: Week 9
While traveling through Aitkin, MN last summer, I spotted this new church that was just built (Saint James Catholic Church). I stopped by and shot a few frames. Most of the images were pretty forgettable but this one drew my eye with the road leading to the church. Exposure: 1/400 sec, Aperture: f/5.6, Focal Length: [...]
52 Week Project: Week 2
I’ve been to the Air Force Academy several times in my life and it remains one of my favorite buildings to view and visit. Out of all the pictures I’ve taken, this one of the entrance I took in August 2008 is still one of my favorites. Exposure: 1/320 sec, Aperture: f/11.0, Focal Length: 28 [...]
Building Corner Building
Here’s what the rest of the building (most of it anyway) looks like from yesterday’s post. I rested against one of the walls of the hotel I was staying at to prevent from swaying too much. Exposure: 1/10 sec, Aperture: f/3.5, Focal Length: 28 mm, ISO 800

Building Corner
While in Omaha on business, my hotel was next to this building, which is part of a rehabbed area with new condos, offices and restaurants. The brick columns mixed with the large glass windows were too good to pass up. Exposure: 1/30 sec, Aperture: f/3.5, Focal Length: 28 mm, ISO 800
