Maine

June 27, 2020 by Geoff Leave a Comment

When I was a kid once every few years when school was finished for the year, my family would pack up the camper and drive to Maine to visit my grandparents for the summer. We could do this because my father was a school teacher and my mother was a house maker. We would take one of two routes out to Maine. Most of the time we would drive through ...

Split Rock Lighthouse

September 11, 2012 by Holly Leave a Comment

It's the icon of Minnesota. It's the place almost every photographer in Minnesota has photographed at least once in their lives. Images of it receive groans when viewed at camera clubs (because it's been photographed so often). It's one of my favorite and most meaningful places in the world. It's Split Rock Lighthouse. Split Rock Lighthouse was ...

Sleigh and Cutter Rally

February 21, 2012 by Holly Leave a Comment

Every year in Minnesota, if there's snow, you can count on there being at least one Sleigh & Cutter Rally in the area. This year there were two that I was made aware of. The first was on January 29th on the Eagle Valley Golf Course in Woodbury, MN. The second was a week later (Feb 4th) on the Washington County Fairgrounds in Lake Elmo, MN. I ...

Smithsburg, Maryland

October 20, 2010 by Holly Leave a Comment

Ah, Smithsburg… My mother lives in a small community on the northwestern edge of Maryland named Smithsburg. *comments removed due to resident objections* She was born there, lived there for all of her formative years, moved away for college and then away-away to Minnesota for 35 years. She and my father moved back several years ago to be closer to ...

Carver Dog Park

October 6, 2010 by Holly Leave a Comment

My final major commitment is done for the year and now I can get back to what I love... That and get back to work I've been putting off for way too long! Every once in a while a photographer must go out into the world and do something they wouldn't normally do - take some risks they normally wouldn't take. In my case, this week I decided to do ...

MN Renaissance Festival

September 18, 2010 by Holly Leave a Comment

I've been away for so very long -- first it was a trip out east to visit my mother in Maryland and then back home to the reality of too many commitments in too short a period of time. So, between commitments I managed to sneak in some time at the MN Renaissance Festival. No great yak yak about my thoughts and feelings this time -- just some ...

Edina Farmer’s Market

August 5, 2010 by Holly Leave a Comment

In looking at the blog's of other photographers, I've come to the realization that the majority of them have some form of deeper message. This leads me to wonder... do I need to have some deeper message for my readers, or just plod along and see if anyone learns anything from my ramblings. I guess I'll let you be the judge... "Art is a ...
