Pincushion Flame
Receding rain showers over Lake Superior are set ablaze by the setting sun, casting Grand Marais and the forests of Pincushion Mountain in a radiant amber glow that bolster fall foliage.

Big news for the northwoods: Senator Tina Smith just introduced a bill to permanently protect over 225,000 acres near the Boundary Waters from copper-sulfide mining. It’s the first Boundary Waters protection bill in the Senate in nearly 50 years. Hands Off the Boundary Waters!

So glad I got outside with the camera this morning. With everything that's been happening, it was just what I needed.

Ailing Allium
A few years back, when 8x10 color film cost slightly fewer appendages, I tried my hand at a still life subject that had been growing on my kitchen counter.

Fresh snow melting under the strength of a late-winter sun is all the more beautiful for its impermanence.

Small Pieces of a Cold Great Lake
I was aiming for a more abstract rendering of a common cold-weather phenomenon on Lake Superior, and used rear tilt to wildly narrow the depth of field.

Curiously, when it’s -15℉ out, I don’t feel the need to try any special large format techniques. Back to the basics: compose, focus, meter, expose, return to warm car!

Mistaking this roll of Portra 400 for the Rollei IR 400 that was in my other film back, I developed it in B&W chemicals. No harm done though!

Boreal Boneyard
Roughly halfway to a promising overlook in the Boundary Waters, I was stopped by the sight of these barren trunks catching the sinking sun while lengthening shadows enveloped the forest behind.
