Minneapolis Skyline at Sundown

Every photographer in Minneapolis has to have this shot. If you go looking, you'll figure out where to stand, in fact, it's delightfully obvious. The first time I went looking and found the location, it was like finding a geocache or and Easter egg.

9th Floor of the Guthrie

One of the best views of Minneapolis is from atop the Guthrie Theater. They have such amazing public spaces there, you don't need to be going to a show to just go in and walk around. It's a big modern maze that's fun to explore, especially at night.

Merry Christmas!

This picture was taken from atop the History Center on a very cold and windy night, thanks to a friend with access and a heavy tripod. Merry Christmas & thanks to all of you for reading and commenting this year.

Metrodome Collapse Photo & Video

The Guthrie Theater provides a great view of the collapsed roof of the Metrodome. The only problem is that the widows are wrapped in yellow film, so the quality of the image is affected. Check out the video of the Metrodome roof collapse from the inside:

Target Plaza

I need to find out more about this building; every time I see it at night I'm blown away by such a brilliant idea. It was completed around 9/2001 and they had it rolling red, white and blue for the months following that day.

Twins Stadium

The new Target Stadium from the "skyline' $13 seats. It's amazing how they managed to shoe-horn a stadium into a large block between a  railroad, two giant parking lots, two raised roads and a highway. Then they added a commuter rail terminal with a light-rail station above it. Startling how much is going on in this tiny space.
