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.

This is day 144 of Photo 365.

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.

This is day 142 of Photo 365.

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.

It’s Art a Whirl weekend in Northeast Minneapolis, so husband and I whirled around to different studios today, seeing friends and new art spaces.

Sometimes it’s all work and no play, even if you’re at a conference in Las Vegas. Today was stacked with keynote speakers, workshops, a taxi ride with an interesting cabbie, security checkpoints and a flight home. So today’s 136 of Photo 365 is just a picture of feet of a conference attendee. You had to know feet would appear sooner or later.

The Venetian

This is day 135 of Photo 365.
