Daily Minneapolis Photography - Street Scenes, Wildlife & Weather

Downtown Library
I’ve never been tempted to look for a book nor found any comfort in the interior, but for a photographic subject, this 110 million-dollar César Pelli monstrosity gets five stars. This is the Nicollet entrance to the Minneapolis Central Library.

American Wildlife and Sporting Artist

American Sporting Artist

In other news, I finished up another website for another fine art oil painter. In addition to Landscapes, Roger Blum also paints wildlife like moose, fox and pheasants in their natural settings. His work is not only well composed and technically incredible, it also harkens back to the rural America of Frederic Remington and Teddy Roosevelt. As a lifeling city-dweller, it’s somehow relaxing to see classic game subjects like this — when I look at his paintings I imagine the mahogany and over-stuffed leather drawing room that should accompany them. Take a moment to look at his site and give me some feedback! I hope that I have done well by his work.

Your library shot is excellent. I might just have to go back and study it a little more. The color really appealed to me and the angle of your shot makes it so much more interesting. I am off to check out that website you showed us. I can hardly wait to see his work and yours!

The website is very well done. I prefer the understated look you chose. I think it is a wonderful backdrop for his work. What a gifted artist. I especially liked his watercolors because that is my medium of choice but he is obviously talented in oil and acrylic as well.

What a grand architecture! Fell in love on the first sight with this.

Nice shot there Mitch. Like all the intersections, reflection, and sky to boot.

Superb: another one of Mitch’s patented angly-urban shots. The viewer’s eye really gets bounced around on this one, always moving throughout the piece. When one angle leads you seemingly off the edge of the photo, another zips you right back in; smartly cropped. And the colors are pleasing, essentially a complimentary set-up with various shades of blue and orange. With all that going on, the center of interest is still strong on the upper-left third. This is one of my favorites of yours.
