This last weekend Cyndie and I took advantage of the continued beautiful weather and shoot our way to Rice Lake, WI via Isanti, MN (that is the long, long way for those not familiar with the area). Small communication glitch as to our final destination; it’s was all good though. We had a pretty long [...]

This past weekend was gorgeous with unseasonably warm weather. Cyndie and I spent most of St. Patrick’s Day en route to Alexandria for a wedding. Sticking to the main drag of Interstate 94 until the Clearwater exit; then the discovery and shooting began. I continually feel so incredible fortunate to be able to consistently stumble upon wonderful sites to capture. And [...]
Back-roadin’ – Preston/Lanesboro, MN to Red Wing, MN – Day 2

Day two began with very tasty breakfast at the Jailhouse Inn. The just-out-of-the-oven apricot walnut scones, juices, coffee, and variety of fresh fruit made the already bright sun-shiny morning even better. Breakfast continued with John & Lois serving up herb cheese omelets, fried seasoned potatoes and sausage - delicious. Well-coffee’d and full bellies, it was time to begin the second day [...]
Back-roadin’ – Lake City, MN to Preston, MN – Day 1
Posted in Black and White, Landscapes, Photography, Winter, tagged Barn's, Lanesboro, Preston, Root River, rust on March 3, 2012 | 5 Comments »
It was great to get back out there shooting after a month-long hiatus from roaming the countrysides. The air was brisk, clouds abundant and an occasional snow flurry would burst out from the sky to mix it up a bit. There was no shortage of our usual fav’s – barns, old cars, rusted metal and the ever-present barbed wire [...]
Unseasonably warm and loving it
Posted in Black and White, Distressed Buildings, Winter, tagged Barn's, moonrise, Pierce County, sheep, WI, Winter on January 6, 2012 | 5 Comments »
Another finally Friday with unseasonably warm weather. Love it. It was quite comfortable rolling down the back roads East of Prescott, WI this afternoon with the car window down. It was a short run; a detour from my normal commute route. There are so many different routes to take from St. Paul to Red Wing [...]
Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone! I was back in Rice Lake, WI over the holiday weekend and snapped a few shot to and from. It is always a great drive from Red Wing, MN to Rice Lake, WI via Taylors Falls, MN. There are so many wonderful sites to take in off the main roads. The second to [...]
Turkey Day Travel – Part Three
Posted in Black and White, Distressed Buildings, tagged Backroads, Barn's, Deer, Eagle on November 25, 2011 | 4 Comments »
With an extremely full belly and a load of left-overs in tow, I departed Rice Lake and headed for home. I made my way home slowly; still sleepy from that last few days of excess. Another very fair-weather day…still comfortable driving around with the heat on and windows down. Lots of eagles in creek valleys [...]
Turkey Day Travel – Part Two
Posted in Black and White, Distressed Buildings, tagged Barn's, Barron County, Black and White, Rice Lake, Wisconsin on November 24, 2011 | 1 Comment »
While all of the Turkey Day eats were baking and grilling, I took the opportunity to meander around the Rice Lake, WI area. I had no trouble finding great scenery just outside of town to the South and West. There are several back roads just outside of the Blue Hills. A truly beautiful area; I [...]
Turkey Day Travel – Part One
Posted in Black and White, Distressed Buildings, Landscapes, tagged Barn's, Country Roads, Horses, Minnesota, Wisconsin on November 24, 2011 | 3 Comments »
The path from Red Wing, MN to Rice Lake, WI was everything I expected it to be. Countless back roads lay between here and there. So many dead end drives and county road loops to explore; even though I expanded an easy hour and half drive to eight total, there were just too many to [...]
Shots from my road trip around Buffalo County, WI
Posted in Black and White, Distressed Buildings, Landscapes, tagged Barn's, Buffalo County, Cows, Distressed Buildings, WI on November 13, 2011 | 7 Comments »
I guess my affinity towards barns and distressed buildings (some which also happen to be barns) has become quite evident as of late as I continue to experiment with black and white photography. Buffalo County was a wonderful place to capture images suitable for further examination. I am especially happy with the calf peering out [...]
