Kindheartedly


My great aunt and uncle.  Such a sweet lady, soft-spoken and kind.  He always looked gruff, but he  had a dry sense of humor that you could miss if you weren't looking for it.  As seen in 1982.

Digging through my stinky old Polaroids again.  This one started out pretty dark, but I managed to bring it back to a more normal exposure.

Fearsomely


Another from the archives.  This is Robosaurus, a semi that transforms into a 40 foot tall, 31 ton, fire-breathing, car crushing T-Rex.  As seen at Monster Jam, January 2002.

Nostalgy


This image is from an impromptu car show that used to meet on Kellogg Boulevard in St. Paul.  In the background, the owners of this beautiful car were celebrating their 42nd wedding anniversary.  As seen in October 2002.

B&W photo scanned with Epson V600.  I was still shooting with film back then!

I wish I would have gotten the passenger side of the car and the bumper in the shot.  I also wish I would have angled so that both the "bride and groom" were fully visible.  (The bride is partially hidden behind the car.)  I do remember at the time being stressed about the post being in the way of their celebration table.

Hospitably


The woman who owns this antique lamp and made the macramé lampshade years ago and feeds you delicious food and makes sure you sign the guest book before you leave has always been a part of my life.  I think this image says "welcome", which describes her exactly.

Quaintly


I think this is the quaintest funeral home I have ever seen.
