Minneapolis Photographer Mitch Rossow presents daily photos of Minneapolis. Cityscapes, People & Perspectives: Mitch explains composition and techniques.

This image appealed to me today after a full day of working on the design of mitchster.com. A nice comforting box. With all the complex angles and layer, if feels like a CSS XML layout. So many similar forms with variations in form and color, yet all working together to support the valuable content.

I’m settling in on the design of mitchster.com that you see now. It’s been a long time coming — months of notes and research. Let me know what you think. I can’t believe that I’ve been running this photoblog for over 150 days now. This coming April 11th will be my six month anniversary. I’ll have to think up something special to do to celebrate, winter should be on the run — I will have survived my first winter of photoblogging. Normally I hide inside and try to ignore the really cold days, but this project kept me out there. Hopefully I will be able to show you why we all put up with winter, the summers are enjoyable, not too hot and with all the lakes and rivers, it’s very beautiful here.
