Midwest Cargo Cult

So, I’ve been a little busy. Who hasn’t? Here are a couple from the archives, dusted off and freshened up. First internet appearance as far as I can remember.
Happy re-branded pagan holiday, try not to eat any Christian babies.

Happy St. Pat’s Day from the Leprechaun Eaters Club.This looked like the only chance I’d get to go outside and shoot the greenery.

This is a safety light set in the steps of the Guthrie flying cantilever. Evidently it wasn’t sealed quite right. I love industrial/architectural accidents, mishaps and ruins.

The reason that Minnesota’s spring and March are so tumultuous is easy to explain. You see, we actually have two Sun Gods. They are micro gods from pocket universes so their powers are way out of line with their apparent sizes. The problem is that like the groundhog or Ameratsu, they both have to come outside to stay. Sadly, they seldom agree. You can see the top god is bracing to face the new season, yet the second god is more into “meh.” and is going back to the cave…this is not illogical if you consider that we live in a state that has BOTH Al Franken and Michelle Bachman.

Older photo of an almost full moon, the fuzzy edge on the left are either reflections from high mountains and crater walls or the moon is well past its sell-by date. I have always admired the house for its easily defensible position and I just thought that the two should go together.

Shot last year; a hope for spring. Free bug with every sniff.

Local plug alert! Artscraps over in Saint Paul. Did you know that they have classes and an art camp as well as help supply schools and crafters?

Got any extra craft stuff to donate? Need some funky fun recycled crafty stuff? Give ‘em a call!

Sundry winter shots. Sundry, heh. I kill me.

Just finishing up that rust series/obsession.

I’m going to have this tattooed on my forehead backwards so that I can read it in the mirror first thing every morning!

Usually can’t do wildlife shots. No patience, no attention span. Shot over at Desnoyers, down by the river, in the demilitarized zone of our fair cities.

Yes, these are about iron oxide and other arty things.

Impromptu shots of ice cascade, geese and pollution at Desnoyers by the mighty Mississippi River. Each shot and post processed slightly differently as I had a hard time making up my mind.
