Bridge over high water

You can see from my previous post how high the water is on the St. Croix River right now. Spring rain has been constant, and the local rivers and lakes are at capacity. Driving over this bridge from Wisconsin to Stillwater, Minnesota, I couldn’t help but fall in love with the industrial lines of the bridge.

Footwear of choice

While being a wallflower listening to live music this evening, two local Minneapolis musicians stood in front of me to chat. Only cool guys can pull off these babies with such style.

The black dog

The art inside Black Dog Coffee and Wine Bar in Lowertown changes frequently, and this spring a new visitor has arrived. A third mascot, a third puppet and a third art piece, the five foot tall pooch is freakish yet cute.

Old fashion photography

Today I was introduced to Victor, a gentleman who teaches alternative photography process – as in images on glass or aluminum plates. Before film, cameras were this large, and the image was made on plates instead of negatives. Victor told us that the camera was about 115 years old, and he was offering to photograph people for $50, which is his cost to get the image processed. The end results, as you can see lying on the base of the camera, were stunning.

This picture of Victor and his camera is day 139 of Photo 365.
