Three years ago three photographers worked to make a difference in the community. Here are some of the photographs I contributed to the effort. In an earlier post I showed the graphic design pieces created for advertising the event. The event was an art show in the windows of Knoll Hardware on Raymond Avenue in St. Paul, Minnesota. Part of the proceeds from the event went to the Ronald McDonald House.

Wood Carving

My father taught me to wood carve many years ago. I carved five faces as one solid piece out of Butternut. I also took this photo of the sculpture.

College Days

I took a photography course while at the University of Minnesota. Thought I'd post some of my early work circa 1989-1990.

At the time of the South Dakota trip I was still working with my Nikon film camera. I shot black and white the entire trip. I enjoy shooting in Black and White however this is one photo I wish I had a color version. The room was bathed in a greenish hue as the sunlight filtered through the leaves of the tree in the window. Perhaps I can convince Just Plain Jane to post her color version.
