Tonight I went to the Minnesota Museum of American Art for an opening called “The Studio Sessions: Minnesota Artists of the 1970s.” There was such a vibrant energy in the space, I knew abstracts of people enjoying art was going to be my photo of the day. The problem was I couldn’t pick my favorite.

Many of the artists who were photographed working in their studios back in the 70s were in attendance. Their work inspired me to do the type of art I love most – creating photographs.

I flew home from Phoenix today and the topography from 25,000 feet was interesting, to say the least.

Intense heat

Being in Phoenix in August is a shock to my easy, breezy Minnesota summer senses. If I’m outside, I walk on the shady side of the street – quickly. The 111 degree temperature is slightly less intense when you aren’t directly in the sun.

Gazpacho

One of my challenges with business travel is finding vegan options on the road, and not pigging out on junk when options are limited and I’m hungry.

After a day of meetings, I looked down at my bland tasting gazpacho dinner and realized I needed a photo of the day. Usually I only like to show off food that was exceptional, but this is my real life – sometimes you can only find ill-prepared, mediocre food. If I can stay out of the mini-bar in my room, I will
consider it a successful trip, bad soup and all.

Smack Shack

Dear Husband and I didn’t want to be inside tonight. It’s lovely out. And Smack Shack in the North Loop of downtown Minneapolis has fried green tomatoes for these two non-meat eaters. Patio seating was the only requirement, which they have plenty of.
