Photography, seeking, writing…and learning along the way. Want to come along?!
I worked or spent time on the University of MN campus- Twin Cities- for a total of twenty years. Today, meeting friends for lunch, I didn’t recognize the main street that intersects the campus. Washington Avenue now sports a completed light-rail system and new student housing and other construction. Thank goodness The Big 10 Restaurant & Bar and The Village Wok are still there, side-by-side, like old friends!
Continuing my commemoration of Island Station with this weeks’ photo challenge:

Even as I write this, Island Station Power Plant, built in the 1920’s and the scene of my Fall photo-shoot and escapade, is being torn down. The city of St. Paul, its council deadlocked on preservation, ended up selling the plant to a developer. The grand dame on the river, home to all manner of folks- including artists- will soon be a ghost. My “if I had a few million, I would create a new art colony” fantasy is truly just that.
As interpreted in B&W with the Fresco filter…very cute- and smart puppy!
Perspective: Is it the last bit of sun in the room or just the beginning of a brightening day? A cat is certain to find the perfect spot and always has the best perspective…
Just a typical Thursday…

After an impromptu ‘film conversation’ with Herman of http://hopedog.wordpress.com/ I had the immense good fortune of watching The Broken Circle Breakdown.
Here is what I learned from Herman before viewing: “The 39th annual Cesar Awards, France’s big film prizes handed out by the Academy of Cinema Technical Arts and Sciences, began yesterday evening at 9 p.m. at the historic Chatelet Theatre: Félix Van Groeningen’s Flemish romance drama “The Broken Circle Breakdown,” which is nominated for an Oscar, won best foreign film…”
This film plumbs the depths of relationships, spirituality, music, medicine and science unlike anything I have ever seen. I will not say any more, because I could cry and rant and sing as the characters do. Do not be fooled by the movie poster. Go to a theater, download from Amazon; do whatever you need to do to watch this amazing film…
