Over the course of about 17 months (2009 – 2010) I was fortunate to get to Minnesota on 3 different occasions.\u00a0 On each trip I had my camera with me, with the middle trip actually being me wanting to take a photo tour of the state for a week.<\/p>\n

There is no profound artist statement to be found with this series.\u00a0 During a meeting with an art historian last Fall to discuss some of my work, I was asked why something couldn’t just be a picture of something.\u00a0 The correct answer is that we should have a reason to create the images we do.\u00a0 Sometimes they are a call for action.\u00a0 At other times they are created in order to bring attention to something important.\u00a0 Sometimes, though, the reason is nothing more than that we want people to see how we see what is in front of us.\u00a0 That is the reason for this series – I want people to see what I saw when I went on those 3 trips.\u00a0 These are here for you to enjoy, but don’t hesitate to leave a comment or ask a question.<\/p>\n
