Water Colors, Minnesota

This image was taken on a very clear, sunny day on a lake in Maplewood State Park. The water reflected the fall colors surrounding the lake and the ripples of the water created their own shapes of colors. This image is pure except for cropping and a small amount of burning. I wanted to make permanent the colors of the day and the water's interpretation of these colors.

Old Moorhead, Minnesota

This is an old, out-of-use idustrial building in Moorhead next to the Red River. I cropped in close to the edges to make shapes with the negative space and sort of mirror the positive shapes of the building. I wanted to convey an old rustic with the color.

Brooklyn Street Art, New York City

I was walking through the streets in the DUMBO area of Brooklyn and came across a few works of art on the sides of old buildings. It made the area quite interesting and colorful even though much of it was very run-down.

Theatrical Central Park, New York

This is an older building in Central Park. A large circular fountain and pond are in the background. I came upon this scene and was struck by the way the arch framed these two performing people; one is kneeling down playing a violin and the other standing; I believe they were reenacting scenes from a play.
