MN State Fair

I always enjoy romping through mass of humanity and making random images and eating random food along the way. This year, I brought the kids and one of their friends along, so I was more distracted from photography. I chose only to bring a couple instant camera’s and had a lot of fun. You can view more state fair pics via my personal work portfolio, here. Thanks for following, everyone!

Lutsen Lodge

I had the privilege of staying at Lutsen Lodge in September of 2023 for Jackson & Nina’s north shore wedding. It’s almost unfathomable that the recent fire is but the third fire to claim this lodge in 75 years. My updated, but quaint little room and breakfast table overlooking Lake Superior is now completely gone and turned to ash…a reminder that what we think of as stable, secure, safe and always existing can be taken and removed from us at a moments notice. It’s incredibly humbling and reminds me to revisit and more deeply observe and appreciate the tangible around me. Thankfully, not a single person was injured in this recent fire. Here are some photographs showing the Lutsen Lodge taken on the wedding day in September and some screen shots from a Fox News YouTube video showing the devastating reality of what remains. I wonder what’s next for this property?
