Minneapolis Stone Arch Bridge Magazine Cover

Stone Arch Bridge Magazine Cover

I was contacted by one of the editors of a national magazine, the Journal of Managed Care Pharmacy the monthly journal for  The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy because they wanted to use my Minneapolis Stone Arch Bridge image as the cover of their magazine for an upcoming issue.  That was flattering enough but then they told me they were going to be doing an About the Artist page in the magazine.  Well I got to see what they were putting together today and I was blown away.  I am even blushing.  This is a huge honor for me!

Thank you Sheila, Thank you friends.

Mickey's Diner a classic dining establishment in St Paul Mn.

Mickey's Diner is a 50' x 10' classic Art Deco diner car restaurant in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It was prefabricated in New Jersey by the Jerry O'Mahony Diner Company of Elizabeth, New Jersey, in 1937 serial # 1067, shipped to Saint Paul by rail, and installed downtown just before World War II. It looks much like it did then and is still open 24 hours a day (and according to its employees, non-stop since it started). It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 as the only building of its kind in Minnesota. It is shown in several Hollywood movies, including The Mighty Ducks, Jingle All the Way, and A Prairie Home Companion, where it is featured prominently in the opening and closing scenes.

There is an additional location in the West 7th/Sibley neighborhood of Saint Paul that is decorated in the manner of a 1950s diner rather than the factory manufactured diners of the Great Depression and the Second World War. The West 7th/Sibley neighborhood location is under different management.

This is a fun shot that gave me an opportunity to work with all the kids. Even the neighbor kids got involved.

The genesis of a picture: This picture originated from a discussion with another flickrite Wans2pics . We were talking about how to do a portrait of a male well. She came up with the idea that it could be an action shot or some shot were the guy was going the thing that he loved. So while this is no longer a portrait, it is a male action shot. There Wanda, the picture is up!!!

How is this done? Take 10 million pictures of a ball coming in and sort through them...lol Or...

Note: Bigger view is now available.

Yes it is still possible that spring will come again.

Last weekend my wife and I got out the orchid show at the Como Conservatory in St Paul.

It was a wonderful show and I must tell you it was great to get out of the winter cold and into a summery feeling place. There were preparing the conservatory for the Valentines exhibit which I am sure will be incredible. I may have to get out there again to capture some of that beauty.

Have a great weekend and be well.

Landmark Center St Paul Winter Carnival 2011

The Landmark Center is one of the most recognizable buildings in Minnesota not to mention St Paul, Minnesota. The building has a great history and it is still being used in many interesting ways.
St. Paul’s historic Landmark Center, completed in 1902, originally served as the United States Post Office, Court House, and Custom House for the state of Minnesota. It was designed by Willoughby J. Edbrooke, who served as Supervising Architect of the U.S. Treasury Department in 1891-92. Edbrooke designed a body of public architecture, much of which, like this structure, was completed after his death in 1896. Landmark Center stands in beautiful Rice Park, now housing an arts and culture center for St. Paul.

St Paul Winter Carnival Ice Sculpture

The St Paul Winter Carnival ( www.winter-carnival.com/ ) is an annual event showcasing life in Minnesota and the hearty individuals that live here. It is a great way to get out and enjoy the fresh air and stay sane in the deep Minnesota winters. The ice sculpture event is the event that got me out shooting this particular evening and while I was out I decide to capture the great lights lighting up the night in St. Paul.

This is some of the amazing ice sculpture work. The artistry is amazing.
I love this town!!!

I encourage you to get out and see the city and attempt to stay sane yourself.
