The Great Minnesota Get Together, 2011 Life has been particularly hectic lately and I worried we might miss out on what has become an annual tradition – my son and I venturing out to the MN State Fair, just the two of us. Hoovering down our favorite food products while pausing now and again to […]

Little By Little
Such a Tease, Such a Flirt Ahh, hazy lazy summer and too many half-formed drafts hanging out over here. Time to post something! July may have been unbearably hot and humid but it was also jam-packed with many lovely musical happenings. Here’s a sampling of what I enjoyed. Rifflord at the Hack Factory’s Handmade Music […]
Pretty In Pink
Isn’t She? The bride really was pretty in (pale) pink. I love that dress! And what a delightful couple to work with. Though we’d all been doing a bit of hand wringing ahead of time. This outdoor wedding had the misfortune of being scheduled smack dab in the midst of near-monsoon rains. But Minnesota-style, of […]
C’mon
Something’s Turning Over This past Saturday morning, and again yesterday morning, I woke to snow on the ground. But just last week I’d woken to sunny 70s in Palm Springs, California and hopped into a hot tub and then a pool before breakfast. Usually I ride out our long winter-into-spring season fairly patiently but having […]
Confusion and Art
Too Much, Too Much Oh Los Angeles. What can I say? It’s become a home away from home over the past couple of years. Even more so than my long-standing love, Chicago. And each trip sees me visiting new and interesting places, thanks to my intrepid hostess. This go around I was introduced to chilaquiles […]

Dan even put out […]

Skin Deep
More Than Just a Pretty Face My focus lately has been on pulling some pretty specific pieces together for an upcoming show (mark your calendars – Friday, March 4th – more info to come). But that doesn’t keep me from shooting any and everything else along the way. Especially the cast of characters I come […]
Sweet and Savory
It Isn’t All Cake Last Spring a couple of my friends embarked on a grand adventure, opening a business together. Running a business isn’t easy and life is about change. One of the original owners, Sheela Namakkal, has taken a once in a lifetime position with The Bleeding Heart Bakery in Chicago. Rather than shutting […]
Flying High
Winter Fun With Strings Attached Minnesotans must find unique ways to entertain themselves over the long winters. Some are into snowmobiling, skiing, snowboarding, ice fishing. I prefer the more inexpensive yet creative options. Yesterday we braved the sub-zero windchills, bundled up in snowpants, to toddle around on Lake Harriet for the 10th Annual Kite Festival. […]
