Hollywood Nights

Sitting on approximately 3000 acres of donated land overlooking downtown Los Angeles, the Griffith Park Observatory first opened in 1935 and sees 1.6 million visitors every year. The observatory contains numerous exhibits and more than 7 million people have viewed the universe through it’s 12 inch Zeiss refractor telescope, more than any other telescope in the world. Given its Hollywood Hills setting it’s no surprise that the observatory has featured prominently in numerous tv and movie productions including multiple Terminator movies, San Andreas and La La Land.

Monsoon Season

Beginning in June and ending in September the Arizona monsoon season provides a much-needed respite from the hot dry days common to our summer weather. Along with the humidity comes an increased prevalence of rain and thunderstorms. This storm came up fast enough that I had to decide between making sure I was able to capture the storm before it blew through and moving to a more picturesque location. In the end, I decided that downtown Phoenix would have to suffice and the storm itself did not disappoint.

The Cathedral of St. Paul

I found myself with some free time on the Sunday afternoon after homecoming at Luther so I decided to wander around the city of St. Paul Minnesota before I had to head to the airport. I lived in St. Paul from January to June of 2000 so I was familiar with the city and its landmarks. When I arrived in St. Paul I found driving access to the city was limited due to the running of the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon. I parked the car and headed out on foot to see the one landmark I knew I wanted to get pictures of, that being the Cathedral of St. Paul.

The Cathedral underwent three iterations before arriving at its current grand design and location on the corner of Summit and Selby Avenue. The cornerstone for the current building was placed on June 2, 1907, but with more construction to follow the building was finally consecrated in 1958.

Homecoming Weekend at Luther College Part II

I’ve been slacking a little (ok a lot!) in getting photos from homecoming edited and ready for upload. I had great hopes for plenty of fall pictures from around Luther College and Decorah but the weather, in true midwest fashion, just wasn’t cooperating. As such I only have a few photos to share, but the upside of the weather was that I didn’t worry about running around the city to get as many shots as I could and instead was able to spend the time reconnecting with so many Luther friends. The turnout for homecoming this year was awesome and it was amazing to see so many people I spent so much time with 20 years ago. As with most shared experiences the bond between Luther grad’s is very close and the time spent there will always hold a special place in our hearts. To my fellow classmates from the class of ‘99, it was so good to see all of you and I wish you all continued happiness and success. #SoliDeoGloria

Country Road

Location: Caledonia, Wisconsin

Background: While I was home this summer my buddy AJ was quite keen to check out my drone. After finding out that his house was within a restricted flight zone, and a failed attempt to fly at a local park due to an unexpected dog show we found a park out amongst the fields in Caledonia. While drone photo’s and video’s are becoming more and more common I still enjoy the unique perspective provided through such a medium.

Photographer’s Note: If you are viewing this on Instagram understand you are seeing a small cropped version of the full image. I encourage (read..beg) you to view the photo full screen through the Weekly Upload section of my website listed below. The limitation’s Instagram places on photos all these years after inception drives me crazy as a photographer that predominantly shoots landscapes. #rantover
