Announcement: 2012 Show Schedule

I'd like to thank my customers for making 2011 a successful first year for me in the art festival business. I am looking forward to an even better season this year, with a number of events added to my roster. The following is my list of confirmed shows for 2012. This list will be permanently accessible using the "Show Schedule" link on my website and augmented with additional events as I am juried into them. If you can make it to one of these shows, please come visit and see my new work!

    New Autumn Image

    Yes, okay - I'm a bit out of sync with the seasons here. But, as some of you probably know, I regularly post new shots taken at random times in the past and processed only recently.

    This image, entitled "Autumn Meander," was captured from last fall along the very-popular Oberg Loop hiking trail near Lutsen. The loop includes several expansive views of Lake Superior and the Sawtooth Mountains.

    I have captured many images from the scenic overlooks, but I also decided to make a photograph depicting a very small portion of the journey after seeing the potential of this particular spot. By this time, after having already spent a couple of hours photographing the overlooks, it was mid-morning. The sun was rising higher in the sky and the forest was aglow with colors ranging from green to yellow to red. This would be my last image of the morning.

    To paraphrase a often-quoted proverb: In a life filled with goals and destinations, never forget to enjoy the journey. It's often just as interesting and rewarding as the destination.
