I'm off on an adventure for a couple weeks and I'll be off the wifi "grid" for much of that time. Thus, I'm auto-posting things that aren't necessarily new or unseen. Most of the photos you'll see are some of my favorite Instagram photos.

06-05-12 Once In A Blue Moon

On a recent flight to California I had a first class ticket because that's all there was on this particular flight and I had no choice. This is how the other half lives at the front of the plane. (They have real glasses and real metal eating utensils.)

I'm off on an adventure for a couple weeks and I'll be off the wifi "grid" for much of that time. Thus, I'm auto-posting things that aren't necessarily new or unseen. Most of the photos you'll see are some of my favorite Instagram photos.This photo, incidentally, was taken with my iPhone shortly after the plane I was in took off from John Wayne Airport. I had the perfect seat on a perfect southern California day.

05-25-12 Resident Scholar

just made this picture with my PhotoPal for iPadMy wife and I have made frequent trips to southern California over the last few years. My morning routine involves a visit to the nearby Peet's Coffee and the McDonalds on Beach and Warner.While our trips to California are sporadic, there is one thing that has been completely predictable: when I walk into the McDonalds, the gentleman in this photo is sitting at this same table in the same position with what appears to be the same three books. And he is always reading and taking notes with great concentration.Yesterday, I watched him work as I ate my breakfast and overcame a compulsion to introduce myself. But I didn't because I felt like I would be walking into my picture. And as I write this, I wonder if he's real. Maybe he is a very clever McDonalds joke. Or a work of art by Duane Hanson?I am going back this morning. I am guessing that, like the sun coming up over the eastern mountains, he will be there.

ConservatoryIn an Instagram photo a "real" photo? Of course. This is a quick shot I took of the Como Park Conservatory in St. Paul, Minnesota, while waiting for my photo students to finish their own photographic enterprises.Here's another "real" photo, taken by one of my second year LATI Photo/Media students, Kelly Ortmeier.

Winging It Again

just made this picture with my PhotoPal for iPadBecause my wife is a Delta Silver Elite member, we sometimes get exit row seats, which are often located over a wing. And because we have been booking our tickets "late in the game," I often get a window seat, rather than my preferred aisle seat. And because our plane left Minneapolis an hour late, I saw the sunset just off of the tip of the starboard wing.And because of all of this, you are seeing a rather mundane wing shot. But in truth I am posting this today so I really have the opportunity to feature another great student photo, this time of a window in an old house. The photographer was Danine Jacobson, the photo is an HDR manipulation and it won a prize in a South Dakota student photography contest. Here's Danine's web site. And here's another view of this same window.
