New Places to Check Out My Work.

Couple of new things popped up recently.

One of the guys on photomn.com started up a local artists site. It is called MN Pixels, and I have a photo up there. Check it out - it's a pretty cool site. And if you're a local artist, join up!

The other new thing that is happening is Shane's on Main in downtown Stillwater. I met with Shane, the owner, this past week. After talking to him about my photography, and checking out his restaurant, he said that he would like to display some of my work at his place. Sweet! So, I ordered some prints, and need to get some framing done, but it looks like there will be about 10-12 photos of mine on display there. There is another "opportunity", involving Shane, but I'll blog about that when that time comes around. I'm hoping it works out, because this "other" thing could be cool in several different ways.

Went out and shot with Shawn this past weekend. We wandered around Hudson, and ended up finding a large group of Trumpeter Swans "pairing up" for the season, floating in the St. Croix. There were a couple of other photographers there; one had a Canon, the other had a Nikon D300 like mine. They had some HUGE lenses on their cameras though, with the whole "camo" kit on them. Pretty sure they were pro nature/wildlife photographers, but we didn't talk, so we'll never find out. I'm going to guess that the lenses they had on their cameras were 300 or 400mm F2.8-ish, which would work out great for the swans. I only had my 18-200mm, which did work good, but a longer, faster lens would be nice. Too bad they are so expensive, or I'd pick one up. :D
