As I write this, it is -4 degrees and the windchill is -19 degrees. Tomorrow will be worse, with single digits during the day and a weather advisory -30 degree windchill temperature by evening.

This cold snap means morning sunrises are the prettiest pink and purple spectacles of the season.

After spending a wonderful few days in New York City, the scene out the plane window above Minneapolis made me question my residential choice. Just for a second.

The first major snow of the season fell today, causing traffic jams and reinforcing that salt stain on the tip of my boots from last season. It also brought out the kid in two older gentlemen who constructed these happy sledders above a Lowertown sidewalk on day 338 of Photo 365.

One of my favorite up and coming artists is Adetomiwa Gbadebo, a young painter originally from Abeokuta, Nigeria who now calls Saint Paul home. His passionate inspiration comes from art, love, justice, peace and all things that man can do to rise above.

In this series Adetomiwa chose to use black as his predominate color because to him, black is beautiful, and he hoped that by using it, people would no longer be afraid of what the color can signify in American society.

The ushers at the Minnesota Wild games are almost always more than nice to the fans. They can also talk hockey with the best of them when you’re waiting for a whistle.

Light Rail is one of my favorite things about Minneapolis. In 2014, it will fly through the stations of Saint Paul, and I can’t wait.

This is day 335 of Photo 365. The 30 day countdown until year end is on!
